Mid-Autumn Festival is right around the corner and we’re totally getting into the festive mood with these supreme selections of mooncake, promising first-rate tastes and exquisite packagings.

1. HILTON KUALA LUMPUR X CHRISTY NG

In collaboration with local designer Christy Ng, Hilton KL presents Tropical Allure, which Malaysia’s national flower Hibiscus becomes the protagonist of the design, truly capturing the flamboyant spirit of festival with its vivid palette.

It’s finally here! This year, we are proud to announce our 2019 Mid-Autumn series: Tropical Allure The art of gifting for #MooncakesatHilton just got a whole lot better. A collaboration with @christyngshoes, local fashion designer and brand owner, this collection pays tribute to the nation's homegrown pride and resource. The print artfully features Malaysia's national flower, the hibiscus, which is the inspiration behind this year's mooncake gift boxes. Perfect on its own as a statement piece, the versatile design can also be converted into a striking cross body bag with the addition of a handbag strap. The series comes with two iconic choices: Crimson Red and limited edition, Royal Purple, priced at RM168 nett each. #hiltonklxchristyng Drop by the pop-up store at our hotel lobby to place your orders or order online at www.takehome.hiltonkl.com For reservations and further enquiries: ☎️+60 3 ‪2264 2006‬ / 📧‪[email protected]‬ #hiltonkl #hiltonkualalumpur #mooncakes
