Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur Chinese executive chef Terence Foong showing a variety of mooncakes.
ENJOYING mooncakes with loved ones and friends is a time-honoured tradition during Mid-Autumn Festival.
Some people savour these traditional treats with Chinese tea to balance out the sweetness.
There are 13 rather interesting mooncake flavours at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur this year which can be paired with a selection of Chinese teas.
Among the highlights are the ever popular Pu Er Ripe Loose-Leaf tea and Lapsang Souchong – Chinese black tea with smoky aroma and distinctive taste.
As for the mooncakes, there are four flavours with single yolk – White Lotus Seed Paste, Summer Black Truffle Lotus Seed Paste, Bamboo Charcoal Skin with Pandan Lotus Paste and Shangri-La Tie Guan Yin Tea Lotus Seed Paste.
A variety of teas and mooncakes are available at Shangri-la Kuala Lumpur.
Traditional flavours are not forgotten as the hotel has readied red bean paste with dried tangerine skin, white lotus seed paste as well as assorted nuts and sun-dried fruits for customers to appreciate evergreen flavours.
Every purchase of four mooncakes comes with a Deluxe Gift Box, which is available for delivery and take-away.
Each mooncake is priced from RM38nett.
There are also three gift sets, priced at RM498nett (premium), RM232nett (ping pei) and RM539nett (Musang King ping pei).
Each gift box contains eight mooncakes.
The boxes sport a bright purple hue meant to radiate regal and festive vibes.
To bring cheer to the underprivileged, the hotel has introduced another gift set for children, priced at RM135nett.
For every purchase of this set, RM50 will be donated to the hotel’s “Embrace-The Gift of Life” charity fund.
The mooncakes are available until Sept 29.
