Custom Corporate Mooncake Gift Set for Mid Autumn Festival in Malaysia
Background of the Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Full Moon or Mooncake Festival, is a cornerstone of traditional Asian culture. Celebrated on lunar month, it’s a festival rich with lunar celebrations, moon worship, and lantern festivities. This year, the festival falls on the 29th of September. Deeply rooted in legend and history, it’s often likened to the Chinese Lantern Festival.
Yet, the Mid-Autumn Festival transcends mere celebration. It evokes feelings of connection to one’s heritage and serves as a vibrant affirmation of life. Central to this festive spirit are mooncakes. Whether gifted or shared amongst family, these festive treats symbolise love and unity, making them an enduring emblem of the festival.
Different Types of Mooncakes to Choose From
The mid-autumn festive treats come in different types, but they can be broadly categorised into traditional and modern mooncakes, both available in sweet or savoury flavours.
The traditional varieties are influenced by their Chinese regional origins, such as Shanghai or Hong Kong, each with its own distinct look, texture, and taste, and are usually baked. Modern mooncakes, on the other hand, are shaped by contemporary tastes and are typically enjoyed cold, often with a delicate ‘snow skin’ exterior.
In anticipation of the festival and filled with the spirit of generosity and auspiciousness, shops and restaurants begin showcasing mooncakes months in advance.
Due to their longer shelf life and lack of need for refrigeration, traditional mooncakes are especially favoured for mid-autumn gift sets. In Malaysia, some of the popular mooncake flavours include red bean, pandan, lotus seed filling, and mixed nuts, with or without yolk.
Mid Autumn Festival Gifts: Enjoying Asian Mooncakes with Tea
To enhance your mooncake experience, enjoy them with a cup of hot tea to balance their richness. You can explore custom mooncake gift sets that pair different mooncake flavours with tea sachets. These make lovely corporate gifts during mooncake festivals.
