SHANGRI-LA KUALA LUMPUR UNVEILS 2025 MID-AUTUMN COLLECTION

The graceful peony flower is the key inspiration for Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur’s Mid-Autumn Festival (MAF) Collection this year. Emblematic of prosperity, honour and enduring relationships, it graces the refined MAF gift boxes and even appear in the special MAF celebratory menu (more on this later) by Executive Chinese Chef Keith Yeap.

Available now until 6 October, the Mid-Autumn Festival collection is designed for celebrants to show appreciation to those near and dear to them, and cherishing familial reunion.

 
According to Chef Keith Yeap, “Each mooncake is a gesture of heartfelt giving, whether for family, friends or business partners. It’s the sentiment behind the gift that’s meaningful. I wanted to craft flavours honouring heritage balanced by a sense of warmth and connection.”

 
Presented in striking turquoise blue and ruby red, the square, book-style Imperial Lunar Luxe Gift Set is adorned with intricately embossed floral motifs. Accented with gold detailing and a metallic nameplate, select any four full-sized baked mooncakes (160g each from RM42 per piece) from traditional and premium flavour mooncakes.

The Red Bean Paste with 40-Year-Old Dried Tangerine Skin stands out for its mellow sweetness and distinct aged citrus aroma. Purists will adore the classic White Lotus Seed Paste or more indulgent Lotus Seed Paste with Double Yolk.

 
More contemporary riffs evoke by Yuzu Lotus Seed Paste with Bird’s Nest and Osmanthus White Lotus Paste with Yolk strike a modern, beguiling chord.

Nut fiends will find much to like in the Assorted Nuts and Sun-Dried Fruits variant whilst the vanilla-like scent and taste of locally inspired Pandan Lotus Seed Paste with Yolk proves winsome too.

A limited-edition Decade of Harmony Gift Set (RM338) also debuts in conjunction with Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur’s 40th anniversary. It’s a striking ruby red fine crocodile leather textured chest with a stacked four-drawer design accented with gilt corners and dainty drawer knobs.
