MOONCAKE FESTIVAL @ RESORTS WORLD GENTING
Round After Round Of Traditional Delight!
Resorts World Genting
offers time-tested favourites and new delights
with
their most creative mooncake selection
to date.
The Mid-Autumn Festival
is the second most important
festival to
the
Chinese, coming only after the 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. Beginning August 1 2016 and running until September
15 2016, 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 12.00 noon to 8.00
pm
and the Wisma Genting OneHub will be from Monday to Friday from 11.00 am to 4.00 pm.
