HILTON KUALA LUMPUR

Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for thoughtful gifting, gathering with loved ones, and filling the table with mooncakes that are just as memorable as the occasion. This year, Hilton Kuala Lumpur brings together two special collections: Moonlit Carousel and The Hilton Mooncake Collection. Inspired by Claude Debussy’s ‘Clair de Lune’, the former comes in an elegant keepsake music box with eight premium mooncakes and RM400 worth of dining vouchers. Meanwhile, the latter draws from Malaysian heritage, with designs inspired by traditional Chinese fans and local batik motifs. For larger celebrations, the signature Supermoon Snow Skin serves up to 10 people, making it an ideal centrepiece for sharing. 

The highlights are two new artisanal snow skin flavours: Ocean Pearl, a savoury-sweet combination of cod fish, black pepper, macadamia nuts, and pumpkin seeds, and Amber Moonlight, which pairs red bean and lotus paste with orange. Also making a return to the lineup is Heavenly Gold, made with premium Musang King durian, alongside an assortment of traditional baked and snowskin mooncakes. 

Prices: From RM358 nett (Moonlit Carousel) | From RM178 nett (The Hilton Mooncake Collection)
