For the Chinese, mooncakes are more than a sweet delicacy containing lotus seed paste and egg yolk in the middle.
Mooncakes come with the Lantern and Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the Chinese festivals observed in Malaysia (others being the Chinese New Year, Qing Ming and the Hungry Ghost festivals, etc).
It is almost tradition to present mooncakes to friends, family and even business clients during this festival. I enjoy receiving all these boxes of mooncakes with various flavours. Nowadays there are even mooncakes made of jelly, or savoury mooncakes!
The Chinese restaurant in Grand Dorsett Subang, The Emperor, produces its own signature mooncakes which are all homemade, halal, and have no preservatives. From white lotus paste with double egg yolk to 'Snow Skin Raspberry & Blueberry', there are many flavours to choose from.
They're also on sale now -- there's a 50% discount if you buy them from the hotel!
Dorsett Regency Hotel KL also has a mooncake counter in their lobby that's selling boxes of mooncakes fast.
If you haven't already tasted your share of mooncakes this year, do try our mooncakes! Tomorrow's the last day to get them.
Enjoy the Mooncake Festival!
