Häagen-Dazs™ Mid-Autumn Ice Cream Mooncake Collections

Häagen-Dazs™ Launches the NEW Snow Skin Ice Cream Mid-Autumn Mooncake Collection

Make your Mid-Autumn festive a cool sensation with frozen treats of Häagen-Dazs™ Mid-Autumn Mooncake Collections! The premium ice cream brand that we all love, has recently introduce a new Snow Skin Ice Cream Mid-Autumn Mooncake Collection perfect for our Mid-Autumn festival amidst our country’s eternal summer. The new collection joins the brand’s much-loved Classic Collection of chocolate coated ice cream mooncakes.

Taking limelight in both collections, Häagen-Dazs™ also introduces the newly released Royal Milk Tea flavor ice cream in mooncakes. Royal Milk Tea boasts the perfect blend of premium fresh and sweet Darjeeling tea and strong, malty and honey-like Assam tea to deliver the most delicate yet intense floral flavors.

The Snow Skin Ice Cream Mid-Autumn Mooncake Collection is so pretty at sight, making it a very beautiful gift for family, friends and loved ones. Packed in a pretty pastel sweet box with dry ice, there are four flavors to savor this festive season.

Snow Skin Ice Cream Mid-Autumn Mooncake Collection:

Royal Milk Tea Ice Cream in White Snow Skin

Vanilla Ice Cream in Yellow Snow Skin

Strawberry Ice Cream in Pink Snow Skin

Green Tea Ice Cream in Green Snow Skin

The snow skin is beautifully thin and has a soft and lightly chewy mochi texture, coupled with Häagen-Dazs™ premium ice creams, these icy treats are refreshing and lusciously delicious. Choosing a favorite is rather difficult since I really enjoyed all the flavors, especially the cream Royal Milk Tea!

The Classic Ice Cream Mid-Autumn Mooncake Collection makes a comeback due to popular demand. Each one is hand crafted and takes two days of artistry and craftsmanship, the Classic Collection has Häagen-Dazs’™ signature indulgent ice creams coated with lush white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate and strawberry chocolate. Each Classic Collection mooncake also has a hidden surprise of a mango sorbet “yolk” for a burst of fruitiness amidst the creamy decadent chocolate and ice creams.

BLOOM Mooncakes by The Westin Kuala Lumpur

A Mid-Autumn Celebration with Mooncakes & Terrarium

We love how creativity entices us this Mid-Autumn festive season. Not only does one get to enjoy the tradition of savoring mooncakes with family, friends and loved ones, you also get to play and recycle the mooncake box.

Taking creativity to new heights for mooncake boxes, The Westin Kuala Lumpur presents BLOOM Mooncake Gift Box, offering exquisite and delectable mooncakes during this blooming season of love and laughter as well as dual usage storage gift box and a DIY Terrarium kit. Mid-Autumn Festival is all about togetherness, creating precious memories while celebrating the gleaming moonlight of the full moon. There is no better moment than this season to send your thoughts and loves with a gift of mooncakes to your family and friends.

Savoring mooncakes is a must in honor of the festive and The Westin Kuala Lumpur offers 8 baked skin mooncakes to choose from. Whether one is selecting classic favorites of Lotus Paste with Single Yolk, Pure Red Bean Paste ‘Tau Sah’, Five Sen5es Assorted Nuts Mixture and Pandan Lotus Paste or newer flavors of Low Sugar Plain White Lotus Paste, Low Sugar Plain White Lotus with Single Yolk, Green Tea and the special Pearl of Prosperity, you know it’s going to be a delicious one.

After a delicious round of mooncake tasting, my top three favorites are the Pearl of Prosperity, Pure Red Bean Paste and Lotus Paste with Single Yolk. 

The beautiful golden and aromatic baked skin was thin, tender and encased luscious creamy and nutty paste that was wonderfully delicious and evoked such lovely childhood memories of savoring mooncakes with my family growing up. The mooncakes are not overly sweet and goes really well with tea.

Here comes the fun part where one gets to make BLOOM a keepsake beyond the festive season. The natural wood dual storage box comes with an integrated potting container with a DIY Terrarium kit and simple step-by-step instructions. The BLOOM Mooncake gift box is designed with the customers’ wellness in mind, understanding that indoor plant brings a great number of physical and mental health benefits such as easing breathe, purifying air, improving one’s memories and many more. Assemble this terrarium with your loved ones for extra special memories and nurture it for a long time to come as they last very well with minimal care…

We had fun making our own terrarium, hosted by Urban Green Cabin. The DIY kit is very simple and everything is labeled and well-listed clearly on the instructions. My little one helped me with the terrarium and boy, did he have such a great time together with me.

From layering the Hydro Balls to sprinkling the Activated Carbon and fencing the whole potting container with a soaked Sphagnum Moss, we then put on the UGC Mix Potting Soil and add on the Pebbles and any of your own little Ornaments to create your vision of your terrarium. Then it was the final step of sowing the Japanese Pearl Grass Seeds where you want the greens to grow and water them generously. Put them in the Sprouting Bag, seal and allow the seeds to grow at least a week before removing the terrarium from the Sprouting Bag and placing it on the BLOOM Mooncake gift box in your favorite spot in the room.

It’s a wonderful moment spent together creating special memories of mooncakes and terrarium and creating something beneficial to our environment too. We love the Zen moment of the terrarium activity as well as the bonding time together and thought that BLOOM Mooncake gift box is definitely a great gift for everyone of all ages this season.
