Mooncake season is just around the corner, and once again, Malaysians are looking forward to celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with one of the season’s most beloved treats. Traditionally associated with the Malaysian Chinese community, mooncakes have long been part of the festivities, but ever since the introduction of halal mooncakes several decades ago, the delicacy has found its way into the hearts and homes of Malaysians from all backgrounds.

Hotels across Malaysia have also embraced the season, taking the opportunity to introduce their own distinctive interpretations of the classic mooncake. Every year, we see new flavours, creative packaging and innovative takes on this traditional delicacy.

However, some hotels always manage to stand out from the rest, and this year, Le Méridien Petaling Jaya is taking a rather cool and bold approach with its very own collection of ice cream mooncakes, personally crafted by its chef.

Dubbed Celestial Mooncake Glazé, the limited-time offering combines the familiar symbolism of the mooncake with the indulgence of ice cream, creating a refreshing alternative for those looking to enjoy something different this Mid-Autumn season.

Available from 1 to 27 September 2026, each box features four ice cream mooncake flavours, with each creation given an auspicious name and its own distinctive flavour profile.

Crimson Prosperity brings together the fruity combination of Ribena and lychee, offering a sweet and refreshing pairing that is perfect for those who enjoy lighter flavours.

For something richer and more aromatic, Midnight Fortune combines black sesame and mandarin orange, balancing the nutty depth of black sesame with the bright citrus notes of mandarin.

Meanwhile, Golden Fortune takes an indulgent route with the unmistakably Malaysian combination of coconut and durian — a pairing that should appeal to fans of the King of Fruits.

Completing the collection is Emerald Blessing, featuring matcha and yuzu. The earthy character of matcha is complemented by the refreshing citrusy notes of yuzu, making this an intriguing contemporary take on the traditional mooncake.

For those looking to get their hands on the collection early, Le Méridien Petaling Jaya is offering an early bird price of RM148 nett, reduced from the normal price of RM188 nett. The promotional price is applicable to the first 200 boxes only, making it worth securing your box early.

There is also an additional 10% discount for selected bank cardholders, including customers of Hong Leong Bank, Maybank and UOB Bank, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.

With its playful combination of tradition and contemporary indulgence, Celestial Mooncake Glazé offers a refreshing alternative to the usual mooncake selection. It is also a reminder of how hotels continue to reinvent seasonal favourites, giving Malaysians more reasons to look forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival every year.
