Mid-Autumn Festival is basically the East’s harvest moon celebration meets Friendsgiving. It’s about the full moon, gratitude, reunion, and sharing food that carries meaning. Mooncakes are the edible love language.

At a CCC Mid-Autumn Potluck, you’re not just bringing dessert. You’re bringing a story. And Amalee’s limited-edition box tells a very good one.

ONE

The Story: Ancient Symbolism, Modern Luxury

Amalee takes the prized Chinese mitten crab—aka hairy crab—and turns its rich, savory roe into a lava mooncake. The crab roe is selected, then slow-simmered with precise temperature control until it’s savory, deep, and umami-rich. Think salted egg lava meets seafood richness meets buttery pastry—without losing the mystery and elegance of a traditional mooncake.

Then there’s the design. The whole gift box is dressed in gold, the color of harvest, rarity, and celebration. It feels expensive in a warm way—not cold, not flashy. Just “wow, you brought that?”

The mooncakes themselves are shaped like symmetrical crabs. Cut one open and the crab roe lava flows naturally, like a full moon spilling over the edge of the night. It’s the kind of visual that stops conversation mid-sentence.

The background pattern blends traditional Eastern geometric motifs with starburst details—ordered, ornamental, and distinctly modern. It’s old-world mystery with new-world luxury.

TWO

Two Flavors. One Very Serious Decision

1. Hairy Crab Roe Lava Mooncake
The original. Savory crab roe, slow-simmered into a rich lava center, wrapped in an imperial-style crispy pastry. The crust is layered, light, flaky, and tender. It melts instead of crumbling into a mess on your lap. There’s a gentle milky aroma that rounds out the savory depth.

2. Black Truffle Hairy Crab Roe Lava Mooncake
The luxe upgrade. Black truffle meets crab roe lava for an earthy, aromatic, deeply savory twist. If the original is a rich seafood risotto, this one is that same risotto finished with truffle shavings. It’s the piece people will fight over politely.
