A unique collaboration in Guangzhou is transforming mooncakes into time machines for the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, China Hotel and the Guangzhou Museum have partnered to revive a set of long-lost Cantonese mooncake recipes, bringing history, flavor, and craftsmanship into one beautifully layered cultural project.

The initiative is part of an ongoing effort to rediscover the iconic Cantonese cuisine of early 20th-century Guangzhou. Drawing from archival menus, newspaper ads, and family recipes, chefs at China Hotel have recreated flavors that haven't been seen—or tasted—for decades. Among them are the Cured Sausage Mooncake, Roast Chicken Mooncake, Drunken Beauty Mooncake, and Phoenix Mooncake, a nod to prosperity and renewal. Each is crafted with modern palates in mind, preserving authenticity while adapting to contemporary tastes and health preferences. #mooncake #Guangzhou
