Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur welcomes the Mid-Autumn Festival with thoughtfully curated mooncakes that balance timeless tradition with the excitement of the new. Guided by Chef Ng Meng Loong of Yun House, the hotel’s Michelin-selected Cantonese restaurant, this year’s collection shares the spirit of reunion through exquisite expressions of flavour, craft and legacy.
Leading the festive selection is the new Bird’s Nest, Dragon Fruit and Pecan Nuts snow skin mooncake (MYR 69), crafted by Chef Loong exclusively for the season. Delicate snow skin infused with mint, dragon fruit and orchid enfolds a sumptuous filling of lotus seed paste, red date and bird’s nest set in coconut milk, with pecan nuts for a textured finish. The composition reveals deeper layers in every bite, moving from soft floral notes to gentle sweetness to a silky richness that lingers on the palate.
Bringing a fresh flair to Mid-Autumn celebrations, the new Bird’s Nest, Dragon Fruit and Pecan Nuts snow skin mooncake joins other snow skin favourites such as Musang King Durian Paste (MYR 89), Black Sesame Lotus Seed Paste with Almond (MYR 59) and White Lotus Seed Paste with Palm Sugar, Macadamia Nuts and Seaweed (MYR 59).
Alongside these light, contemporary creations, the collection honours the enduring appeal of traditional baked mooncakes with a choice of five classic flavours, including Pandan Lotus Seed Paste with Single Egg Yolk and Melon Seeds (MYR 47), Red Bean Paste with Almond Flakes (MYR 47) and Eight-Nut Treasure (MYR 49).
With over two decades of Chinese culinary experience, Chef Loong brings an exceptional level of precision and care to each mooncake, drawing on time-honoured techniques while exploring new possibilities through taste, texture and presentation.
Presented in an elegant, jewellery-inspired gift box in auspicious shades of red, the mooncake collection is thoughtfully designed to elevate festive gatherings and gifting traditions.
Mooncakes are available individually or in gift boxes. Orders open on July 20, 2026, and may be collected from August 1 to September 25, 2026. Orders placed before August 20, 2026, receive 15 percent savings. Purchases of 20 or more boxes receive 10 percent savings.

Heineken House, headlined by Swedish DJ and producer Axwell alongside Baby J and Tye Turner, marked the finale of months of Heineken House Sessions, bringing together music fans from Kuala Lumpur and across the country in August for a celebration of music, connection and shared experiences.
Held at Arch Galleries, KL, one of those standout experiences was the Hei Zone, which marked the Malaysian debut of The Clinker, Heineken’s latest social innovation.
First introduced at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival earlier this year, The Clinker transforms a simple cheers into an opportunity to connect. Worn around a Heineken cup, the smart band links fans based on their music tastes, lighting up when they have something in common. With just a clink, it offers a natural, wordless way to break the ice that turns strangers into connections.
As a physical expression of Fans Have More Friends, The Clinker demonstrated the power of Just Say Hei, proving that every shared interest has the potential to spark a new friendship.
Building on the spirit of connection, the Hei Zone set the tone for the evening before fans immersed themselves in a curated line-up of international, regional and local artists across two immersive music rooms, with something for every music fan.
At Star Arena, festival-scale performances culminated in an electrifying headline set by Axwell, delivering iconic dance anthems and fan-favourite tracks that united fans in one shared celebration.
Meanwhile, Star Club offered a more intimate 360-degree experience, where Baby J and Tye Turner performed a back-to-back set, leading an energetic programme spanning house, techno and baile funk.
“Music has always had the unique ability to bring people together, but the best moments happen when fans go beyond sharing the same playlist and start creating real connections,” said Sean O’Donnell, Marketing Director of Heineken Malaysia.
“At the heart of Just Say Hei is the belief that making the first move shouldn’t feel intimidating. Heineken House and the Hei Zone were designed to give people the confidence to say hello and see where it leads. Whether it began with a shared song or a simple conversation, the night showed that some of the best friendships start when people connect in real life,” continued Sean.
Through Fans Have More Friends, Heineken continues to champion real-world social connection through shared passions like music, football and Formula 1, creating more opportunities for people to step away from their screens and discover that the best friendships can begin with something as simple as saying “Hei”.

Tiger Beer has launched Tiger Courage Beats, an innovative experience that transforms personal stories of courage into songs, giving people a new way to hear, relive and share the moments that moved them forward.
Available from Aug 1 to Sept 15, as part of the brand’s Roar With Courage campaign, Tiger Courage Beats invites people to submit stories of the moments that kept them moving forward. Each story can be transformed into a personalised Courage Song generated using artificial intelligence (AI), in the participant’s chosen music genre, voice and language, with downloadable audio and visual formats for sharing on social media. This experience is designed to help consumers creatively express their stories and does not replicate or imitate any specific artist, performer, or copyrighted work.
The campaign is built on the belief that everyone’s inner tiger is more powerful than they think. Tiger Courage Beats invites people to put those untold stories into words and hear them recognised, many for the first time, through music.
“Tiger Courage Beats is about recognising the moments people rarely talk about, even though they often define who they become. We wanted to give people a new way to revisit those stories, celebrate them through music, and ultimately bring them together as part of a bigger Tiger celebration later this year,” said Julie Kuan, Marketing Manager of Tiger Beer Malaysia.
Eligible participants may also receive access to the Tiger Courage celebration later this year, subject to availability and on a first-come, first-served basis.
How to Create Your Courage Song
Participants can visit the Tiger Courage Beats microsite at https://tigercouragebeats.com/, which is open to non-Muslims aged 21 and includes an age-verification process.
Once users submit their personal courage story of up to 150 words, they can then choose their preferred music genre, voice, and language before their story is transformed into a personalised AI-generated Courage Song, complete with a shareable audio and visual inspired by their submission. Users must ensure that the content shared is original, does not contain plagiarised material, offensive or illegal content, advertisement or reference related to race, religion, royalty, politics or other sensitive matter. Each user can submit up to two (2) personal courage stories during the campaign period.
The Courage Songs and accompanying visuals are generated using AI based on participants’ submitted stories and selected preferences. As AI-generated content, outputs may vary and may not fully reflect users’ intended wording or meaning.
