A Celebration of Reunion and the Journeys That Lead Home
In celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a season cherished for its spirit of reunion and togetherness, JW Marriott Surabaya proudly unveils Moonlit Reverie, its 2026 mooncake collection inspired by meaningful connections and the journeys that lead us home. Drawing inspiration from the timeless legend of Chang’e, the Moon Goddess, the collection reflects the enduring bonds that transcend distance and generations, reminding us that wherever life may take us, home is never far from the heart.
Meticulously handcrafted with the finest ingredients and a dedication to culinary artistry, Moonlit Reverie pays homage to the cherished tradition of mooncake gifting through a collection that is both refined and meaningful. Inspired by the tranquil beauty of a moonlit garden, the elegantly designed gift boxes blend the charm of classical Chinese architecture with the timeless allure of jade-toned hues. Rooted in the spirit of Mid-Autumn, a season of reunion and togetherness, the collection celebrates the journeys that may take us far from home, yet always lead us back to family, tradition, and meaningful connections. Each box serves as a treasured keepsake, honouring the joy of coming home.
