Marina Bay Sands marks this Mid-Autumn Festival with a contemporary tribute to reunion, gifting, and craftsmanship. This year’s mooncake collection invites you and your loved ones to savour the harmony between tradition and innovation through eight thoughtfully curated flavours presented in a refined full moon-inspired box.
Available in custom colours created for Marina Bay Sands, Moondance Yellow, inspired by shimmering reflections across Marina Bay, and Twilight Pink, each set includes four handcrafted baked or snow skin mooncakes with a matching cutlery set. A marble inspired tic tac toe game sits within the presentation to evoke the spirit of sharing and play across generations. Together, the set becomes a celebration of connection, joy, and the timeless traditions of Mid-Autumn.
Helming this year’s collection is Marina Bay Sands’ Executive Pastry Chef Hoi Kuok I, who draws on two decades of experience and a deep appreciation for tradition to reimagine nostalgic favourites. Together with his dedicated team, he wields time-honoured techniques and a spirit of innovation to craft eight exquisite flavours for the season.
“When creating a new signature flavour for Marina Bay Sands, I wanted to honour not just the essence of mooncakes, but also pay homage to local flavours,” said Chef Hoi Kuok I. “My inspiration came from my first taste of rojak, where the torch ginger plays a starring role. I have always been captivated by its vibrant flavour profile and I wanted to bring that to life in a mooncake. Paired with double yolk, a quintessential element of traditional mooncakes, this flavour embodies a celebration of heritage and innovation.”
The baked series offers a harmonious mix of familiarity and novelty, anchored by the unveiling of Marina Bay Sands’ new signature flavour, Torch Ginger Blossom with Double Yolk. Another standout is Mochi with Aged Radish, inspired by the beloved breakfast rice cake dish chwee kueh, pairing savoury aged radish with a soft chewy rice mochi centre in delicate sweet pastry. Red Date and Goji Berry with Melon Seed spotlights nourishing traditional Chinese ingredients such as sweet Xinjiang red dates. Coconut Pandan with Gula Melaka and Blended Yolk brings a tropical celebration of toasted coconut, fragrant pandan, and rich gula melaka, finished with a golden centre of salted egg yolk that has been blended for a luxuriously smooth texture.
For snow skin lovers, four inventive creations bring modern pairings to the fore. Earl Grey Milk Tea with Apple recalls a classic afternoon tea with a smooth ganache centre and chocolate pearls for contrast. Strawberry Matcha Basque Cheesecake offers a playful combination of earthy matcha and juicy strawberry. Yuzu Caramel with Torch Ginger and Pecan Nut layers bright citrus and floral warmth with rich caramel. Orange Milk Chocolate delivers a velvety treat lifted by fragrant candied orange peel.
Shaped using intricately carved custom moulds, this year’s mooncakes pay tribute to the quiet elegance of traditional craftsmanship. Each design captures the essence of Marina Bay Sands with age-old woodcarving artistry, featuring delicate motifs of still water and gentle ripples that echo the serenity of the bay under a full moon. Select pieces pair these motifs with the iconic Marina Bay Sands logo or are etched with poetic idioms that speak to the sentiment of the season.
The circular box is softly rounded to echo the full moon and is crafted from vegan leather, wood, and high gloss lacquer. Within, a sleek cutlery set and a custom designed marble inspired tic tac toe game encourage families and friends to connect meaningfully through play while enjoying the festive treats.
Pre order runs from 20 August to 3 October, with collection from 8 September to 6 October at the Mid-Autumn Booth at Origin + Bloom, Hotel Tower 3 Lobby. Each box is priced at S$158 nett for a set of four baked or snow skin mooncakes. For updates and ordering information, please visit marinabaysands.com/stories or marinabaysands.com/mooncakes.
