As September welcomes the highly-anticipated Mid-Autumn Festival, a cherished Chinese tradition commemorating the full moon and the autumn harvest, AEON is proud to elevate the celebration with an extraordinary array of over 200 mooncake varieties. All part of the “Together We Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival 2023” theme, this remarkable selection was celebrated at IOI City Mall, Putrajaya with exclusively invited more than 100 AEON Members.
Beautifully adorned with traditional ornaments and prominently featuring the Jade Rabbit, a character from the Chinese folklore who lives on the moon with Chang’e, the princess on the moon. The celebration was also witnessed by the Malaysia Book of Records for assembling the largest variety of mooncakes at a single event.
Present at the launch, the Chief Merchandise and Marketing Officer, Low Ngai Yuen expressed, “The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for togetherness and in the appreciation of tradition, we take pride in curating an exceptional selection of mooncakes to bring families and friends together. We are delighted to invite and have our customers join us in this year’s celebration. This is our continued commitment to provide the best experiences for our valued customers.”
Additionally, the event launched the importance of the first-ever AEON Members’ Choice Awards, which aimed at recognising the efforts of suppliers who created delectable mooncakes with outstanding packaging.
