In celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 17, 2024, EQ is set to enchant guests with an exquisite array of mooncakes, seamlessly blending traditional and modern interpretations. This festival, which marks the end of the harvest period in China, is a time of reunion and giving, and EQ’s mooncakes are crafted to enhance this cherished tradition. The award-winning hotel offers 11 flavors, ensuring a delightful experience for all guests.
A Blend of Tradition and Innovation
EQ’s mooncake selection features both traditional baked mooncakes and contemporary snow skin varieties, each meticulously prepared to cater to diverse tastes. The traditional baked mooncakes are wrapped in a golden brown pastry, embodying the essence of classic flavors. Guests can choose from five flavors: white lotus with a single yolk, traditional Cantonese mixed nuts, white lotus, red bean, and the exclusive EQ Signature Pearl of Harmony. These mooncakes pay homage to time-honored recipes, offering a nostalgic taste of the festival.
On the other hand, the snow skin mooncakes bring a vibrant and innovative twist to the celebration. Encased in colorful rice flour exteriors, these mooncakes are available in six creative flavors: Golden Charcoal Musang King Durian, Emerald Yuzu Pandan, Mint Chocolate Hawaiian Macadamia, Butterfly Pea Flower Vitagen White Lotus, Red Bean Custard, and Sun-dried Scallop with Mixed Nuts. Each bite of these snow skin mooncakes promises a unique and delightful culinary experience, appealing to those seeking something different this festival season.

A Message from the General Manager
Gerard Walker, General Manager of EQ, expressed his enthusiasm for the mooncakes, stating, “One of the warmest aspects of Chinese culture is the gift-giving that happens during festivities. The tradition and lore behind these food gifts are a fascinating part of Malaysian culture. We at EQ are looking forward to the response our presentation boxes will undoubtedly get this year, seeing we are the only hotel whose gift boxes transform into wearable and carriable fashion accessories. We hope that by putting some thought into our packaging, we will contribute to the sustainability of our festive food items. I hope that after the last mooncake has been enjoyed, the boxes will be a useful reminder of the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
