This Mooncake Festival, Resorts World Genting marries tradition with innovation, as it presents a stunning selection of premium mooncakes. Beginning August 1 2016 and running until September 15 2016, guests to Malaysia’s favourite highland getaway will be able to take home boxes of delight in the shape of some tried-and-true flavours, and some unique creations.

Mooncake counters at the entrance of Cloud 9, Genting Palace, Good Friends Restaurant, Resort Hotel Lobby, Hainan Kitchen  will be offering these festive offerings daily from 12.00 noon to 8.00 pm and the Wisma Genting OneHub will be from Monday to Friday from 11.00 am to 4.00 pm.

The selection ranges from the humble red bean paste mooncake, low-sugar white lotus paste, traditional lotus paste with single yolk, lotus paste with double yolk, Ng Yan [assorted nut mooncake] and Kam Tui   (nuts and preserved fruit mooncake) to more subtly creative options such as green tea lotus paste and durian lotus paste,  white lotus paste with black sesame yolk, Golden Jade with single yolk, Pu Er lotus paste with single yolk and blueberry paste mooncake with single yolk.

Delicious new options for the modern mooncake fan include the light snow skin mango with pomelo, white lotus paste with dried mandarin orange jingsa, sweet corn paste with caramel nuts, cheese jingsa, Golden Jade with lime and nuts, and Golden Jade with buttermilk custard. These new alternatives are lighter in texture and flavour, while still espousing the traditional feel of the more established mooncake variants.

Also on sale during the Mid-Autumn period are specially designed God of Wealth cookies for two pieces. These shaped biscuits are made using the recipe for traditional mooncake pastry, and are thus, perfect with freshly brewed black tea.

Resorts World Genting is offering a 30 percent discount for purchases of 50 boxes or above of any four-piece variant set. The discount is not applicable to God of Wealth cookies and Kam Tui mooncakes.
