[SPONSORED #MISSJASJASXFNB REVIEW] COME AND CELEBRATE YOUR MOONCAKE FESTIVAL @ RESORTS WORLD GENTING


The Mid-Autumn Festival is the 2nd most important festival to the Chinese after New Year or Spring Festival. On Mid-Autumn night the harvest moon is supposed to be at its brightest and fullest which gives rise to the celebration's other name : Mooncake Festival. 

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated as a harvest festival three thousand years ago, as a way for agrarian Chinese to celebrate the bounty of their fields and orchards. It was a time for the cessation of work, and one of the rare nights in which hard-working farmers stayed up late to admire the lustre of the full moon while enjoying the delicacies associated with the festival. Apart from pumpkin, pomelos, duck and wine, the central food focus of the festival was a dense, wheat flour pastry called the mooncake. So named for its circular shape, mooncakes were traditionally made with red bean paste, lotus paste and nuts.


This Mooncake Festival, Resorts World Genting marries tradition with innovation, as it presents a stunning selection of premium mooncakes from 1st August 2016 until 15th September 2016 for 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 12.00pm to 8.00pm and the Wisma Genting OneHub will be from Monday to Friday from 11.00am to 4.00pm.



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.

These are the newly mooncakes selection for us to try. It is too bad that I couldn't eat because I am allergic of red bean paste and nuts as well.
