The Making of The Peninsula Bangkok’s Organic Mooncakes

In the bustling kitchens of The Peninsula Bangkok, culinary artisans transform simple ingredients into extraordinary delights. Today, observers are invited behind the scenes to witness the creation of the cherished organic home-baked mooncakes, a labor of love that embodies the hotel’s commitment to excellence.

Guiding the process with precision and care is Chef Mei Jiang. With a meticulous eye for detail, Chef Mei Jiang selects the finest organic ingredients, ensuring each component contributes to the perfection of the final product.

The mooncake journey begins with a blend of organic flour and custard powder, carefully measured to achieve the ideal balance of flavors and textures. Next, Chef Mei Jiang cracks organic eggs, sourced from free-range hens, into the mixture, infusing it with richness and depth. The crowning touch comes from creamy organic milk, sourced from dairy cows grazing on Omega 3-rich organic grass in Nakorn Ratchasrima province, imparting a distinctive flavor that elevates the mooncakes to new heights.

With the ingredients assembled, Chef Mei Jiang deftly combines them, transforming the raw materials into a silky-smooth dough. Each movement is deliberate, each action imbued with purpose as Chef Mei Jiang shapes the dough into small balls, ready to receive the luscious custard filling.

Using a practiced hand, Chef Mei Jiang fills each dough ball with a generous spoonful of the signature creamy custard, ensuring that every bite is a symphony of flavor. With meticulous care, he seals and shapes each mooncake, creating intricate designs that reflect the artistry and craftsmanship synonymous with The Peninsula Bangkok.

As the mooncakes bake to golden perfection, the aroma fills the air, tantalizing the senses and heralding the arrival of a culinary masterpiece. Fresh from the oven, the mooncakes cool on racks, their golden crusts glistening in the light, a testament to the dedication and skill of the culinary team.
