Celebrating Mooncake Festival in Genting Highlands

Usually during Mooncake Festival, most of us will choose to celebrate at home with family, relatives or friends. Not to forget to have different kinds of mooncakes on the table and a pot of Chinese tea for sipping while watching the big bright moon. It was really an enjoying moment. However, have you ever thinking of changing the venue to a chilling mountain? Yes, I am talking about celebrating Mooncake Festival in Genting Highlands. Whole family and friends at the top of the mountain and watching the moon in a much closer view.

What is more exciting is accompanying by a series of premium mooncakes which you will not get anywhere else except on this very mountain itself. Delicious new options for the modern mooncake fan include the light snow skin mango with pomelo, white lotus paste with dried mandarin orange jingsa, sweet corn paste with caramel nuts, cheese jingsa, Golden Jade with lime and nuts, and Golden Jade with buttermilk custard.
