Kuala Lumpur, 10 July 2026 – Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur has unveiled its highly anticipated 2026 Mooncake Collection, a thoughtfully curated selection that honours the heritage, craftsmanship, and spirit of reunion defining the Mid-Autumn Festival. Rooted deeply in Asian culture, the festival serves as a timeless annual reminder of gratitude, unity, and the joy of sharing meaningful moments with loved ones.
The design of this year’s signature keepsake boxes draws inspiration from the natural elegance of blooming peonies and ancient Chinese coin motifs, symbolising prosperity, harmony, and abundance. Every structural silhouette and meticulous finishing touch has been crafted to elevate Shangri-La’s festive gifting into a deeply visual and tactile experience.
Curated by the culinary team at Shang Palace and led by Chinese Executive Chef Teng Kam Seng, the 2026 lineup features nine baked mooncake flavours and four snowskin varieties. Alongside beloved classics, Shangri-La introduces two innovative creations this year: Toffee Butterscotch and Matcha Strawberry.
To celebrate the launch, the hotel hosted an exclusive showcase in collaboration with acclaimed Malaysian designer Rizman Ruzaini. Blending fashion, culture, and hospitality, the event featured a striking 12-piece runway presentation of the designer’s Lunar Collection, creating a memorable setting for the unveiling of the hotel’s 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake collection.
“We have always believed that heritage becomes more meaningful when we allow it to evolve,” say Rizman Nordin and Ruzaini Jamil. “Our Lunar collection views Asian culture through a contemporary lens, making this partnership with Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur’s Mooncake Collection a natural fit. The Mid-Autumn Festival is ultimately about reunion, generosity, and sharing something beautiful with those around you. Tonight, we express that through both fashion and delicacies.”
Officiating the event, Mr. Daniel Kaeflein, General Manager of Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, welcomed guests and highlighted the deeper meaning behind the collection and the significance of the seasonal celebration:
“The Mid-Autumn Festival has always been one of the most meaningful celebrations in Asian culture. It is a season that reminds us of reunion, gratitude, and the importance of sharing meaningful moments with the people around us. Every year, our team looks forward to creating a mooncake collection that honours these traditions while presenting them in a way that feels fresh, elegant, and memorable. For our 2026 collection, we wanted every gift box to become a keepsake that reflects both craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Partnering with Rizman Ruzaini for today’s launch event made this unveiling even more special for our partners and friends, bringing their celebration of elegance and Malaysian creativity together with our festive spirit to create an experience where fashion, culture, and hospitality meet in perfect harmony.”
