W Kuala Lumpur’s Moonlit Fever Mooncake Collection, released
in time for the mid-autumn festival celebrations, features sets
that are striking in colour and design. The inspiration for this
year’s design comes from the latest pattern and colour trends
seen on the international fashion runways. Hence, the stylish,
alluring bag in two vivid and arresting hues: emerald green and
sunrise orange. Malaysian woodcarving art, which has been
passed down from generation to generation and is a hidden
heritage gem, is also used in the design of the mooncake
packaging, along with circular and geometric lines. As for the
mooncake flavours, choose from Pure Lotus, Lotus Paste With
Single Yolk, Red Bean Paste Mandarin Skin, Momoyama, Lotus
Seed Paste Double Yolk, Tiramisu, and Mix Nuts.
For something unique, the hotel offers the Moonlit Fever
Mixology Kit, which comprises two mooncake flavours, one
tiramisu and one red bean paste, as well as a mixology kit with
alcohol miniatures, signature cocktail ingredients, and a bar
spoon and jigger to prepare your very own cocktail. Then there
is the Moonlit Fever Gift Box that consists of two mooncakes,
tiramisu and red bean paste respectively, plus artisanal
homemade treats to satisfy every palate. These include two
premium tea bags, a jar of candied sesame walnut, three
chocolate bars, and a cute Eleph keyring in the shape of an
elephant. Also, check out The Moonlit Fever Afternoon Tea,
which the hotel describes as “a mod and vintage inspired
menu embracing colourful and brilliant flavours”, to make
the mid-autumn festival even more exciting and memorable.
Aloe Vera, Kumquat Cheese, Goji Raspberry, Black Sesame,
and of course, traditional mooncake flavours are just some of
the distinctive and daring flavours included in this collection
of mooncakes specially curated by W Kuala Lumpur’s pastry
chef, Kevin Yong.
