Mid-Autumn Delights – The Merchants Mooncake Collection

Embrace the spirit of the Mid-Autumn Festival with The Merchants, as it unveils an array of offerings to mark this celebration in style. The spotlight shines on The Merchants’Classic Mooncakes (HK$450) gift box – a collection of four distinctive Suzhou-style mooncake flavours: Red Bean, Red Date, Salt & Pepper (Black Sesame), and Seaweed. The Red Bean mooncake delivers a sweet and smooth delight, while the Red Date offers a soft and fragrant bite.

Featuring The Merchants’ bespoke mountain water motif, the bamboo lantern is inspired by classic palace designs.
