Teasing tastebuds

STARBUCKS Malaysia continues the tradition of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with an exclusive range of mooncakes. Inspired by a unique fusion mix of Japanese, modern Western and localised mooncakes, this year’s flavours include:

EXTRAORDINARY SELECTION Chewy Nutty Cranberry A unique combination that is rich in taste and texture. It includes cranberries, orange peels, variety of nuts and melon kernel seeds with a savory twist of a salted egg centre.

Green Tea Azuki Japanese inspired, it is made with premium green tea lotus filling, red bean paste and white kernels wrapped with an aromatic matcha pastry.

Apricot Hazelnut Latte A contemporary Mooncake wrapped in an aromatic Starbucks VIA skin, combined with hazelnut lotus paste, chunky bits of apricots and cream cheese soft filling at its core.

Signature Durian Made of pure durian pulp sourced from the exotic premium grade D24 durian and incorporated with melon kernel seeds, this is a unique flavour aimed at durian lovers.

GIFTING MOONCAKES The mooncake symbolises the perfect moon. It also represents family unity, regeneration and hope. In the early days, mooncakes were eaten to celebrate the end of the autumn harvest. Today, these delicacies come in a wide and varied mix of flavours, fillings and skin types. Gifting them to another expresses the wish for harmony and good fortune for the receiver.

As such, the Starbucks mooncake gift set comes in an exquisite purple-coloured hard box in an exclusive Starbucks gift bag. It is priced at RM99.00 and consists of one Chewy Nutty Cranberry mooncake, two Green Tea Azuki mooncakes, two Apricot Hazelnut Latte mooncakes and one Signature Durian mooncake. The Starbucks Mid-Autumn 2015 mooncakes are available at your nearest Starbucks store from midAugust until stocks last.
