Like them or not, there’s no denying that mooncakes are beautifully designed; with their deft carvings of Chinese characters and intricately woven patterns. But that’s only if you’re talking about the traditional stuff, which if we’re being honest, can get a bit boring at times.
If you want something a little more kawaii however, boy, do we have fantastic news for you. Hello Kitty Orchid Garden, the Hello Kitty-themed café at Changi Airport, is launching its new range of Hello Kitty-inspired mooncakes to celebrate this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival.
The 24-hour space, known for its medley of kitschy ornamentations and Hello Kitty-inspired food, will be releasing a traditional baked mooncake set ($33.80/box) from August 17 onwards, with each set consisting of two mooncakes.
Of course, both of these delightful pastries will come sculpted with Hello Kitty’s adorable face, while the packaging will also feature her friend, Tiny Green. If you can bear to eat Hello Kitty, you’ll find that each piece is filled with creamy white lotus paste, melon seeds, and a single egg yolk.
Right now, the mooncakes are only available for sale at Hello Kitty Orchid Garden (walk-in only) from August 17 to October 4, although there’s an early bird price of $29.80 per set till September 14.
If you’re planning to get your hands on a set, we suggest going pronto. Hello Kitty products are known to sell like hot cakes (excuse the pun), and we see these mooncakes as no different.
