Autumnal mirage with trendy bags and mixers

The Moonlit Mirage Mixology Kit with two mooncakes, a bottle of gin and four mixers.

THE seasonal delicacy synonymous with the Mid-Autumn Festival has evolved to incorporate adventurous flavours and creative packaging.

This year, W Kuala Lumpur has rolled out trendy bags to contain its Moonlit Mirage Mooncake collection, each holding four luscious mooncakes.

The sleek pouches adhere to the trend of minimal chic and structural shapes, featuring a strap that can be reused in different ways.

The mooncake collection comes in two bold colours: Iconic Blue and Enigmatic Purple.

The Iconic Blue box is designed to encapsulate the mood of the season and reflect lightness and clarity.

The colour is reminiscent of the elements of air and water, representing stillness and tranquility in nature.

The Enigmatic Purple box boasts a historical association with royalty and wealth, making the bold hue appealing even to the most conservative of consumers.

This year, the hotel’s mooncake flavours comprise Lotus Seed Paste Double Yolk, Mixed Nuts, Red Bean with Tangerine Peel, Pure White Lotus, Black Sesame with Yam, Jasmine with Red Dates, Pu’er with Lychee, and Sea Salt Chocolate.

A box of four includes a limited-edition Moonlit Mirage Collection bag and is priced at RM268 nett per box.

Taking the mooncakes to the next level, the hotel has bundled a Moonlit Mirage Mixology Kit worth RM348 nett per box.

The kit includes one bottle of Roku Gin (200ml) and four mixer bottles comprising Cherry Yuzu, Osmanthus Elderflower, Kumquat Mandarin and Melon Matcha.

It also includes a limited-edition stirrer, a Roku shot glass, two mooncakes – Red Bean with Tangerine Peel and Sea Salt Chocolate – as well as a drink recipe booklet for mixing up Yuzu Bliss, Floral Fusion, Citrus Burst and Green Serenity.

The mooncakes are available at the ground floor of W Kuala Lumpur (until Sept 29), Pavilion Kuala Lumpur’s Mid-Autumn Festival at the Level 6 showcase (Sept 4 to 29) and Centre Court ground floor (Old Wing) of 1 Utama shopping centre (Sept 20 to Oct 1).
