Every year, the historical kitchens specially designated for making mooncakes open their doors at Resorts World Genting signifying the onset of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It also marks a time for family and friends to bond while savouring mooncakes in an age-old celebration. The harvest festival, which falls on 17 September this year, is the second most significant Chinese festival after the new year. As per annual tradition, Resorts World Genting (RWG) will be offering a delectable selection of new and timeless flavours from 1 July until 17 September 2024.
Helming the kitchen along with highly-skilled bakers is renowned Master Dim Sum Chef, Gan Chee Keong who makes mooncakes with prodigious skill using pork-free ingredients.
The chef, who has been making dim sum for decades, says that knowing how to make mooncakes is one part of being a certified dim sum chef. The quality of RWG’s mooncakes has never been compromised over the years because each part is made from scratch using natural ingredients for every step from baking to packaging.
Four captivating flavours are being introduced this year, to tantalise your tastebuds: Dragon Fruit with Single Yolk (RM23 nett), White Lotus with Durian Jingsa (RM23 nett), Ng Yan Nuts with Truffle Oil (RM28 nett), and Pandan Snow Skin (RM22 nett). The last two will only be available from 18 August onwards.
The dragon fruit flavour in particular stands out this year as it’s a new creation in the market and it’s a unique flavour that can’t be found elsewhere. Also note the unique dragon detail on the mooncake that has been custom-made for this new release.
Those who prefer to stick to the classics can indulge in flavours like red bean which have delighted RWG’s visitors for years. This includes the Ng Yan Assorted Nuts (RM28 nett), Lotus Paste with Double Yolk (RM25 nett), Lotus Paste with Single Yolk (RM23 nett), Pu Er Lotus Paste with Single Yolk (RM23 nett), Golden Jade with Single Yolk (RM23 nett), Low Sugar White Lotus Paste (RM22 nett), Green Tea Lotus Paste (RM22 nett), and Red Bean (RM19 nett).
