A Mid-Autumn Collaboration with Style
This year, Mandarin Oriental Singapore teamed up with luxury fashion house Shanghai Tang to create a Mid-Autumn experience that goes beyond mooncakes. At the heart of this collaboration is the Moonlit Bloom Afternoon Tea, served at the hotel’s Lobby Lounge. Available until 31 October 2025, it’s a seasonal menu designed to bring together elegance, heritage, and a touch of playfulness.
What to Expect at Moonlit Bloom Afternoon Tea
The menu draws inspiration from the ginger flower, a recurring motif in Shanghai Tang’s designs. The result is a series of sweet and savoury treats with floral and citrus accents. Highlights include:
- Jade Roll – refreshing celtuce infused with osmanthus
- Moonlit Zest – cocoa nib choux with marmalade orange confit
- Pearl Granite – apricot and oolong tea pairing
- Tea Blossom – castella cake infused with Da Hong Pao tea
- Tang Rose – rose sablé with caramel coconut
- Golden Fan – espresso Chantilly, caramel, and chestnut layers
Everything is presented with a special edition Shanghai Tang teapot, adding a stylish touch to the afternoon ritual.
A Seasonal Indulgence
Priced at SG$68++ per person, the Moonlit Bloom Afternoon Tea includes coffee or tea and is served daily at the Lobby Lounge. It’s part of Mandarin Oriental’s wider Mid-Autumn series, which also features a limited-edition mooncake gift set and a curated stay package called Moonlit Moments.
Why We Love It
Afternoon teas are a dime a dozen in Singapore, but this one feels different. The Shanghai Tang design influence makes the whole experience feel polished, while the menu finds a balance between tradition and innovation. It’s festive without being over the top, and the price point makes it an accessible way to enjoy a slice of Mandarin Oriental’s Mid-Autumn celebrations.
Final Thoughts
If you are looking for a unique afternoon tea in Singapore this season, the Moonlit Bloom at Mandarin Oriental is worth booking. It combines festive spirit, thoughtful design, and creative flavours in a way that feels special yet approachable.
