We wonder is this a jewellery box or mooncake gift box? Le Meridian is offering a turquoise-hued gift box this year and it will be sold separately from the mooncakes that are priced between RM34 to RM51. If you wonder which kind of mooncakes to try out from them, we will definitely suggest their snow skin mooncakes as they came with very unique flavours that you can barely see from other brands. The flavours that they have are Caramelised Banana Emas with Sea Salt, Grapefruit with Wild Tualang Honey and signature Coffee Macchiato & Roasted Hazelnut. Order yours from here.

Indeed, this is the most exquisite mooncake gift box that we’ve seen ever.

However, there are no other options but only their signature lotus seed paste single yolk mooncake can be ordered only.

Different from any other brand, the mooncake ‘bag’ of W Kuala Lumpur is comparatively modern and colourful. The reason behind this is because they want it to be more than a ‘mooncake box’, cultivating the concept of reuse and being trendy while celebrating traditional festivals. In terms of the bag, it comes with two choices which are Iridescent Blue and Luminous Purple. Priced at RM198 per box. Order from here.

8. The Westin Kuala Lumpur
