The arrival of the full moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival has long symbolised reunion — a treasured occasion when families and friends gather, exchange gifts and reconnect over mooncakes and tea.
For the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival, OVERSEA celebrates this enduring tradition with The Moonlight Collection, a thoughtfully curated selection that marks a new chapter in the brand’s mooncake craftsmanship.
Bringing together time-honoured baking techniques and contemporary dessert influences, the collection spans traditional baked mooncakes, delicate Momoyama-style pastries and soft snow skin creations. While familiar signatures remain at the heart of the range, new flavours inspired by tea, cream cheese, caramel, tropical fruit and boba introduce a playful dimension for modern palates.
Presented in refined gift boxes, the collection is designed for family reunions, festive visits and meaningful gifting throughout the Mid-Autumn season.
A New Chapter Built on More Than Half a Century of Craftsmanship
OVERSEA’s mooncakes have long been associated with generously filled centres, carefully considered textures and a measured approach to sweetness.
That commitment continues with the 2026 Moonlight Collection. Each mooncake is crafted with close attention to the balance between pastry and filling, ensuring that richness does not overpower the overall experience.
The collection remains respectful of the flavours customers have come to expect from the brand, while introducing more contemporary ideas intended to appeal to a new generation.
Elegant tea aromas sit alongside dessert-inspired combinations, chewy textures and fruit-forward fillings. The result is not a departure from tradition, but a broader interpretation of what the modern Mid-Autumn experience can be.
Momoyama Peach Tea Cream Cheese Mooncake
Among this year’s three new creations is the Momoyama Peach Tea Cream Cheese Mooncake.
Wrapped in delicate Momoyama-style pastry, the mooncake brings together the refreshing fragrance of peach tea and the smooth richness of cream cheese.
The peach tea contributes a light, aromatic quality, while the cream cheese provides a gently indulgent centre. Rather than leaning towards excessive sweetness, the combination is designed to feel balanced, creamy and elegantly fragrant.
It is an appealing option for diners who enjoy tea-infused desserts and lighter alternatives to more traditional lotus paste mooncakes.
Momoyama Toffee Caramel Mooncake
For those who prefer deeper dessert flavours, the Momoyama Toffee Caramel Mooncake offers a richer interpretation of the Japanese-inspired pastry style.
The mooncake pairs the delicate Momoyama exterior with the full-bodied flavour of toffee and the mellow sweetness of caramel.
Although indulgent in character, the filling is crafted to maintain balance, delivering the recognisable richness of toffee and caramel without becoming overwhelmingly sweet.
Its familiar dessert profile makes it particularly approachable for younger diners or anyone looking for a modern alternative to conventional baked mooncakes.
Snowy Mango Boba Mooncake
The most playful of the new additions is the Snowy Mango Boba Mooncake.
A soft and chewy snow skin pastry encloses a tropical mango filling, complemented by chewy boba pearls that introduce an unexpected textural element in every bite.
The fragrance and sweetness of mango give the mooncake a bright, fruit-forward personality, while the boba provides a contemporary twist inspired by one of Asia’s most popular beverage cultures.
Chilled, colourful and distinctively modern, it is a creation that reflects how mooncakes continue to evolve while preserving their role as a festive treat made for sharing.
Contemporary Favourites Return
Beyond the three new flavours, the Moonlight Collection also welcomes back several of OVERSEA’s popular Momoyama-style creations.
Chocolate lovers can look forward to the Chocolate Lava Mooncake, while the Matcha Red Bean Mochi Mooncake brings together the gentle bitterness of matcha, the familiar sweetness of red bean and the satisfying chew of mochi.
The snow skin range takes an equally indulgent direction.
The Snowy Hazelnut Chocolate Ganache Mooncake combines nutty hazelnut notes with rich chocolate ganache, offering a dessert-like experience wrapped in soft snow skin pastry.
Meanwhile, the Snowy Noble Delight with Mango Mooncake incorporates tropical mango into one of the brand’s contemporary festive creations.
Together, these flavours broaden the collection beyond traditional lotus and bean pastes, giving customers a varied selection for mixed-generation family gatherings.
Signature Classics Remain at the Heart of the Collection
Despite its contemporary additions, OVERSEA has not overlooked the signature mooncakes that have become an essential part of its annual Mid-Autumn offering.
Long-standing favourites returning for 2026 include the Shanghai with Single Yolk, Golden Starlight with Single Yolk and Noble Delight with Single Yolk.
These signature selections preserve the familiar richness and savoury contrast associated with salted egg yolk mooncakes. For customers who return each year in search of traditional flavours, their inclusion ensures that the collection remains firmly connected to OVERSEA’s established heritage.
The balance between new and classic creations is central to the Moonlight Collection. Contemporary flavours may invite curiosity, but traditional favourites continue to provide a comforting sense of familiarity.
Lunar Rise Gift Set Brings Four Flavours Together
For those seeking a ready-curated festive gift, OVERSEA introduces the Lunar Rise Gift Set, priced at RM168 per box.
The set contains four carefully selected mooncakes:
- Momoyama Peach Tea Cream Cheese Mooncake
- Momoyama Toffee Caramel Mooncake
- Golden Starlight with Single Yolk Mooncake
- White Lotus with Single Yolk Mooncake (Less Sweet)
The selection brings together two of the collection’s newest Momoyama creations and two more traditional baked mooncakes.
It provides recipients with an opportunity to explore different expressions of Mid-Autumn craftsmanship — from the aromatic and dessert-inspired to the timeless combination of lotus paste and salted egg yolk.
Thoughtfully presented for festive gifting, the Lunar Rise Gift Set is suitable for family members, friends, business associates and corporate recipients.
Made for Reunion and Reimagined for Modern Tastes
At its heart, the Moonlight Collection is built around the meaning of reunion.
For many families, mooncakes carry associations that extend beyond flavour. They represent thoughts of loved ones, the longing to return home and the warmth of gathering beneath the full moon.
OVERSEA’s approach for 2026 reflects this emotional connection. The classic flavours customers anticipate each year remain available, while peach tea, cream cheese, toffee caramel, mango and boba introduce new experiences to the festive table.
This combination allows different generations to share the same box while choosing mooncakes that suit their individual preferences.
Older family members may gravitate towards the brand’s signature single-yolk creations, while younger diners may be drawn to the Momoyama pastries and snow skin varieties. Together, they turn the mooncake box into a shared tasting experience — one that connects heritage with changing tastes.
