Here’s our pick for the best sets for you to choose as gifting options, or just for keeps!

Last year, they partnered with renowned fashion designer Melinda Looi to create multifunctional and fashionable mooncake sets that could also be used as Grand Gambit sets and Jade Tote bags.
This year, they continue their partnership with a box set called ‘‘The House of Shí Wǔ’, which resembles an intricate wooden structure of a miniature house that moonlights as a multipurpose box with secret compartments to open.
Besides the four mooncakes, you’ll find it comes with a whole lot of goodies including a GHKLxML mini mooncake mould keychain, a designer scarf, a scented candle, and more. On top of it all, it’s packaged in one gorgeous bright red canvas bag! The set retails at RM288 for early birds, the original price is RM328.

Remember when Sharpay sang “Fetch me my Jimmy Choo flip flops” in High School Musical 2? So sue us, we’re old. If you can’t afford a pair of shoes from the acclaimed designer, this is the next best thing.
Only 1,000 gift boxes are available and each comes in a bright pink totem box, with smaller boxes inside featuring individual illustrations by the designer himself and each contains a mooncake with traditionally baked or snow skin options.
“The Mid-Autumn full moon represents completeness and good luck in Chinese culture. On this joyful occasion, we are reunited with our beloved family and friends,” explains Jimmy Choo.
“The Four Seasons mooncake gift box reflects these feelings of happiness, good fortune and abundance.” The boxes are priced between MYR 488 to MYR 588.
