“Szechuan” Ma La Mung Bean mooncake anyone? Or perhaps a summer-inspired Mango with Lotus Seed Paste variant? These inventive conversation stoppers along with baked and snowskin creations form part and parcel of Yun House’s Mid-Autumn Festival cachet this year.
Since gifting and sharing mooncakes is a beloved Malaysian tradition, Chef Jimmy has taken great pains to craft a variety of inventive and timeless selection for the Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
“This year, the ritual has taken on added
importance, since many of us haven’t been able to meet loved ones and close
colleagues for a long time”, said Chef Jimmy Wong. “Sending and gifting mooncakes expresses our good wishes, to remind people we care about them and a gesture to value their
presence in our lives.”
His Baked Mooncakes with luxurious fillings include Pu
Er Tea Paste with Tangerine Skin (RM42) and the summer-inspired
Mango with Lotus Seed Paste (RM42). The former
is subtly sweet with the citrus peel lending it a nice ‘bite’ while the latter
yields a sublime candy-sweetness, remarkably similar to the fruit itself.
According to the chef, mooncakes with egg yolk are symbolic of the harvest moon and good luck hence his Pandan Paste with Single Yolk (RM42), and Lotus Seed Paste with Single Yolk (RM42) offerings. For purists, there’s White Lotus Seed Paste (RM42).
Overall, the timeless selection are on-point and should please sticklers for tradition.
The mooncakes come packed in the Four
Seasons gift box. Clad in theatrical red with a magnetic gilt clasp, the oblong
box is embossed with the floral outlines of lotus leaves and butterflies,
evoking feelings of joy and harmony with nature.
