Moonchocolate: A Delicious Interpretation of
Mid-Autumn Festival
La Maison du Chocolat walks you through the
full noon journey with bite-size perfections
Mid-Autumn festival has long been one of the
favourite festivities among Chinese people because of what it signifies: the celebration
of family unity, love and friendship, thanksgiving for a good life, and well wishes
for the loved ones.
It is a special occasion for families and friends to gather
together to share delicacies and create lovely memories under the enchanting
beauty of the silvery full moon.
In honour of this
festival, which will fall on the 27 September this year, legendary French chocolatier
La Maison du Chocolat is launching the
exclusive Moonchocolate
collection in Hong Kong to
provide a delicious, stylish alternative to the traditional mooncakes.
Featuring
the elegant Yùtù (Jade Rabbit) and the mythical Cinnamon Tree, the Parisian
chocolatier tells the Moon Festival story in a French chocolaty way. The
bite-size chocolate pieces, beautiful and subtle in both taste and aesthetics, will
surely add a sophisticated twist to the traditional festival as they melt in
your mouth and linger on your taste buds.
“The Moonchocolate
is a perfect embodiment of the spirit of Mid-Autumn Festival,” says Master Chef
Nicolas Cloiseau at La Maison du Chocolat. “Each of the pieces has a perfect balance in
ingredients where the chocolate is neither too bitter nor sharp, echoing the
harmonious unions the full moon symbolises.
“The distinctive
taste and silky texture of our signature ganache are like the fond memories
with your beloved ones. They are all unique, pleasurable, and linger long after
the encounter has finished.”
The Moonchocolate
Collection features three exclusive flavours:
Sweet Moon,
inspired by the form and harmonious beauty of a full moon, is filled with
silky milk ganache with light accents of caramel.

|
Sparkling Moon,
hinting of the mysterious “other side of the moon”, is full of imagination of
surprises: the rich, dark ganache of each of the moons is punctuated with the
swirling notes of rose champagne.
|
|
The Yùtù Moonlight bears the image of the jade rabbit. The
delicate texture and intense flavour of the dark chocolate bouchée,
contrasted with the sweetness of the slivers of chestnuts, offer a new
interpretation of the bitter-sweet legend where the mythological creature
sacrificed itself in an act of selfless kindness.
|
These exquisite
chocolate creations come in the Moonchocolate Gift Box which, using an elegant
palate of gold, champagne and blue, features a stylish rendition of the
festival’s traditional elements including the jade rabbit, the cinnamon tree, and a full moon.
The Gift Box also bears La Maison du Chocolat’s signature ribbon as a seal of perfect
quality.
135g, HKD450
