As the moon graces the evening skies on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a convivial occasion celebrated to honour century-old traditions and bask in the splendour of the full moon. From 1 July to 17 September 2024, YÀN showcases a delightful collection of classic baked and new snow skin mooncakes, perfect for gifting or indulging yourself.
Elegant Packaging with a Sustainable Touch
YÀN’s mooncakes are available in sets of two and four, elegantly housed in individual fuchsia pink boxes within a soft pink satin drawstring bag. For an eco-friendly touch, the mooncake boxes are designed without a cover, placed in a reusable base. The drawstring bag not only adds a touch of luxury but also serves as a stylish accessory long after the mooncakes are gone. Each box boasts a holographic print of YÀN’s signature motifs, including their logo, swallows, and a peony, adding a touch of artistry to your Mid-Autumn celebrations.
New and Perennial Mooncake Favourites
This year, YÀN introduces a new delight: the Baked Red Bean Paste with Melon Seed Mooncake (Vegetarian). This traditional Cantonese-style mooncake features velvety red bean paste studded with crunchy melon seeds, encased in a golden-brown pastry. Perfect for vegetarians, this confectionery is made without eggs, offering a classic taste with a modern twist.
For those seeking a spirited twist, the 8-piece Mini Gin Chocolate Truffle Snow Skin Mooncake promises to be a showstopper. Crafted with the renowned Japanese gin brand Roku, these mooncakes feature a delicate pink snow skin filled with mildly sweetened lotus chestnut paste. At the centre lies a Roku gin-infused chocolate truffle, blending the floral notes of gin with rich, creamy flavours for a multi-layered tasting experience.
Classic Must-Haves for the Mid-Autumn Festival

These traditional baked pastries come in options of single or double salted egg yolks, nestled within silky lotus paste. The yolk’s savoury touch beautifully contrasts with the sweet filling, creating a timeless flavour profile that’s sure to please.
Equally delightful is the Thousand Layer Yam Mooncake, a handcrafted masterpiece that showcases golden swirls of layered pastry encasing a fragrant filling of sweet yam paste. Available plain or with a single salted yolk, this delicacy is a perennial favourite at YÀN, capturing the essence of tradition with every bite.
