Special thanks to Hotel Jen Penang for extending this food review invitation.

Special offer: Mention "PenangFoodForThought25%" when ordering to get 25% discount off the regular price.

The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month on the Chinese lunar calendar. This year, the festival falls on 24 September 2018. In conjunction with this auspicious occasion, Hotel Jen Penang is rolling out 8 types of mooncakes to delight its customers.

5 of these mooncakes adhere to classic recipes that most people know and love:
- Low Sugar White Lotus Single Yolk (低糖单黄白莲蓉)
- Pearl Of Harmony Single Yolk (黑芝麻豆馅单黄)
- Pandan Lotus Single Yolk (单黄香叶莲蓉)
- Pure Lotus Single Yolk (单黄纯莲蓉)
- Mixed Nuts (五仁)
They are accompanied by another 3 modern flavors of Hotel Jen's creation:
- Cheesy Chocolate Oreo
- Green Tea Cranberry
- Tiramisu

Hotel Jen's mooncakes are priced at RM38.00 each. However if you order 4 pieces of any flavor (RM145.00), the mooncakes are encased in a stylish Jen Mooncake Gift Box. The maroon box has floral designs on the front and traditional Nyonya motifs on the sides. A dainty Chinese tassel is fastened to its magnetic lid.

Inside the Jen Mooncake Gift Box is a vertical arrangement of 4 compartments that each contains a mooncake. The box's elegant design makes it very attractive to ladies because it can serve as a fancy storage box for jewelry. If you are looking for an ideal gift for this Mid-Autumn Festival, I cannot think of a better suggestion.

The Jen Mooncake Gift Box also comes with Hotel Jen's specially designed tote bag. This unique mooncake packaging is only available at Hotel Jen Penang; other Shangri-La properties use different designs in their mooncake offers.

To enjoy these delicacies, simply visit the mooncake counter at Hotel Jen's Lobby Lounge between 10:00am and 7:00pm daily. The counter is usually well stocked with all mooncake flavors. But just to be safe, I recommend that you place an order by phone (04-262-2622) or email (fb.hjp@hoteljen.com) before dropping by. This mooncake promotion is available from now until 24 September 2018. Note that Hotel Jen's mooncakes comply with halal requirements.

I am proud to announce that Hotel Jen is offering a whopping 25% discount to my readers (minimum purchase of 1 box). This means that the limited edition Jen Mooncake Gift Box is only RM108.75 after discount! To indicate that you are my reader, simply write "PenangFoodForThought25%" on the order form below or mention "PenangFoodForThought25%" to the staff member at the counter.
