Gran Meliá Jakarta Unveils Signature Mooncake Collection at Tien Chao

Gran Meliá Jakarta proudly presents its Mid-Autumn Signature Mooncake Collection, a luxurious celebration of tradition, flavor, and artistry. Available exclusively at the hotel’s renowned Cantonese restaurant, Tien Chao, this year’s mooncake selection features a thoughtfully curated assortment of refined flavors, combining heritage with modern elegance just in time for the cherished Mid-Autumn Festival.

This year’s mooncakes are elegantly presented in a bespoke hamper, featuring a warm gold palette accented with delicate soft pink. Gold represents prosperity and happiness, while pink embodies beauty and affection together symbolizing the heartfelt joy of reuniting with loved ones.

Guiding this year’s creation are two seasoned leaders with a profound connection to Chinese culture. Executive Chef David Marteau, who spent over two decades perfecting his craft in China, brings an unparalleled understanding of traditional techniques and regional flavor nuances. General Manager Jeronimo Molina, having lived in China for six years, shares a deep appreciation for the festival’s meaning and traditions. Their combined expertise ensures each mooncake is more than just a delicacy, it is a piece of cultural heritage, elevated with modern finesse.

Responding to the growing preference for lighter indulgences, this year’s mooncake paste features reduced sugar compared to last year, offering a balanced treat without sacrificing depth of flavor. From time-honored classics to inventive, contemporary pairings, every mooncake is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, making them the perfect seasonal gift or personal indulgence.

Each mooncake in the collection is an ode to craftsmanship, presenting indulgent ingredients and artisanal preparation in every bite. From time-honored classics to inventive flavor pairings, the mooncakes are a sophisticated gift for loved ones or a well-deserved seasonal treat.

This year’s mooncake lineup from Gran Meliá Jakarta includes six exquisite flavors, each with a distinctive story:
