ROYAL CAVIAR CLUB CELEBRATES MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL WITH EXCLUSIVE CAVIAR MOONCAKES
This year’s Royal Caviar Club caviar mooncake features a snow skin coating that is filled to the brim with a combination of luscious premium Imperial Ossetra caviar paired with either cream cheese filling or fresh Madagascan vanilla filling. Caviar is a healthy major source of vitamins and minerals, famously providing the daily adult requirement of vitamin B12 within a single serving. Not only does caviar offer a myriad of health benefits for the heart and brain, RCC’s caviar mooncakes offer a much lower sugar, fat, and calorie content than traditional mooncakes. Added with Chef Gael’s delicate craftsmanship, the caviar mooncakes are beautifully balanced in flavors with the cream cheese and vanilla fillings, sure to appeal to the city’s most discerning palates.
Each limited-edition luxury gift box is priced at HK$680 and contains 3 caviar x cream cheese mooncakes and 3 caviar x vanilla mooncakes. Early bird orders are now available at a discounted pricing of HK$580 per box until 21st August, available for pick-up at Royal Caviar Club’s showroom or with an added charge of HK$150 for delivery within Hong Kong (except Outlying Island Districts).

This year, The Cakery presents four creative and equally delicious mooncake flavors with a health-conscious twist. Not only are the mooncakes gluten-free, completely vegan, and without food coloring, but they also contain a much lower sugar content compared to traditional mooncakes. Chock full of nutritional benefits, the Black Sesame Lava mooncake is a delightful and not-too-sweet mouthful of black sesame, chocolate, and buckwheat, with added texture from organic crispy rice. A surprising yet thoughtful pairing between mango and white bean paste, Mango Bean Paste Lava packs a refreshing fruity punch on the palate, while Jasmine Raspberry offers another exciting flavor combination of beloved jasmine tea and freeze-dried whole raspberries. Finally, Taro Bean Paste celebrates the versatile starchy tuber inherent in many Chinese delicacies, taro, complemented by sweet white bean paste and purple sweet potato.
