MID-AUTUMN HARMONY FROM CONCORDE HOTEL KL

 

Two exclusive lacquer gift sets, The Elegant Four and Four Seasons Bloom from Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur adds lustre to the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.

Handcrafted in multiple layers of vibrant high-gloss lacquer finish, Concorde’s Mid-Autumn Harmony gift set features a set of four boxes adorned with delicate floral motifs and refined detailing reflecting the essence of Chinese art and culture.   

                                   
Better still, the boxes are designed to be repurposed post-celebration; renewing their usefulness as elegant jewellery, accessories or keepsake boxes, teabag or tid-bit holders, or even as wall-mounted art pieces.
 
Guests can choose from two themed designs comprising:
The Elegant Four featuring plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum; symbolically paying tribute to noble virtues of wisdom, grace, integrity and tranquillity respectively.
 
Four Seasons Bloom highlights the seasonal beauty of spring orchid, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum blossom.

 

Fill those elegant boxes with Concorde’s Halal-certified mooncakes ranging from Baked Lotus Paste with Single Yolk and Red Bean to inventive Snowskin variants such as Musang King Durian and Longan Wolfberry – the ideal celebratory Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for family, friends and business partners.

Based on our sampling, the Assorted Fruit & Nut Mooncake beguiles with invigorating hints of kaffir lime leaves while one cannot go wrong with the smooth Baked Japanese Red Bean Paste variant.

Also winsome are the Black Sesame Lotus Paste and classic Lotus Seed Paste, be it with or without single/double yolk(s).

We daresay the Snowskin Musang King Durian version is the next best thing to eat the actual King of Fruits thanks to the rich and luscious filling. Coming in a close second is the Snowskin with Yam Paste and Single Yolk.

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.

 
Level up your grand gifting gesture with Celestial Grace Gift Set (RM538), a luxe fuchsia-red double-drawer chest bearing eight classic baked mooncakes (160g each) in classic and premium flavours: Red Bean Paste with 40-Year-Old Dried Tangerine Peel, Lotus Seed Paste with Double Yolk, White Lotus Seed Paste (with or without yolk), and Assorted Nuts with Sun-Dried Fruits. Also included are Pandan Lotus Seed Paste with Yolk, Yuzu Lotus Seed Paste with Bird’s Nest, and Osmanthus White Lotus Seed Paste with Yolk.

 
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.
 
Refined finishing touches include brushed metal plaque bearing the Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur logo and commemorative 40th anniversary tag. Inside four artisanal mooncakes (160g each): the savoury XO Sauce Mung Bean, the indulgent, molten centre Custard Lava, the nourishing Lotus Seed Paste with Red Dates & Bird’s Nest, and the delicately floral White Lotus Seed Paste with Yolk & Rose beckon.

 
Clad in soft ivory hue with delicate pink floral motifs, a brushed gold clasp and wooden base, the keepsake worthy Moonlit Bloom Gift Set (RM338) features eight petite mooncakes (60g each): rich caramelly Toffee Butterscotch, exquisite Yuzu Lotus Seed Paste with Bird’s Nest, delicately creamy Custard Lava and fragrant Osmanthus White Lotus Seed Paste with Yolk.

 
The floral themed Blossom Gift Set (RM318) with eight petite mooncakes (60g each) of bold, creative flavours such as creamy-rich Musang King, sweet-tart burst of Mixed Berries, premium and tropical Bird’s Nest & Coconut, and the earthy with choco-nuttiness combo of Black Sesame & Nutella is conceived to appeal to the modern palate.

Die-hard durian lovers will be smitten by the Celestial Gold Musang King Treasure Gift Set (RM528) with eight snow skin mooncakes (60g each) filled with premium Musang King durian.
