Traditionally a harvest festival celebrated in mainland China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Vietnam, the Mid-Autumn Festival 2024 falls on 17 September. And the festival has its own official snack: the mooncake! Friends and families share these sweet pastries during gatherings. While they’re usually baked with lotus seed or sweet bean paste, many places also add their own creative spin with unique flavours and variations. We’ve rounded up some of the best traditional and snowskin mooncakes in Singapore, many of which are available for delivery to your doorstep.
The best mooncakes in Singapore this Mid-Autumn Festival 2024
Ding Mooncake – artisanal mooncakes in Singapore
Ding Mooncake’s artisanal mooncakes in Singapore are known to sell out, and it’s easy to see why. They come packaged in limited-edition designer boxes, each of which is so intricate it takes up to two hours to be constructed. They’re perfect for gifting friends and family this Mid-Autumn Festival 2024.
Alongside their signature range of award-winning traditional handmade treats made from heirloom family recipes, Ding Mooncake’s team of veteran bakers has spent the better part of a year perfecting its latest snowskin range of mooncakes in Singapore. Hand-painted with gold dust, this year’s Black Gold Mao Shan Wang (MSW) snowskin durian mooncake is filled with real MSW from the highlands of Pahang in Malaysia. Other new flavours include French earl grey lavender, imperial uji matcha and Thai young coconut.
Special early bird offer: Snag 40 percent off when you order mooncakes in Singapore online. You can shop pre-filled gift boxes or choose to build your own bundle and customise it with your favourite flavours, from white double lotus yolk to premium organic matcha.
