Best mooncakes in Singapore!

1st January 2022 by Dinesh Ajith 4 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/best-mooncakes-in-singapore-mid-autumn-festival/

Traditionally a harvest festival celebrated in mainland China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Vietnam, the Mid-Autumn Festival (sometimes known as Mooncake Festival) falls on 21 September this year. And the festival has its own official snack: the mooncake! This sweet pastry is shared between friends and family during gatherings. While they’re usually baked with lotus seed or sweet bean paste, many shops in Singapore have added their own creative spin by launching unique flavours and variations. We’ve rounded up some for you to try below.

Ding Bakery

Ding Bakery’s range of handcrafted premium snowskin mooncakes features an intriguing variety of contemporary flavours. The snowskin assortment includes matcha, dark chocolate, Earliglow strawberry, and passionfruit and mango mooncakes (two pieces each). A box of eight Mao Shan Wang Mooncakes is also available – and sure to be a treat for durian lovers! If you prefer the classics, keep things simple with the range of traditional baked mooncakes available with either a plain lotus or pandan-infused filling and optional yolks.

Ding Bakery’s award-winning mooncakes are handcrafted with fine natural ingredients and are lower in sugar. They also come packaged in an exquisite display case, and you’ll enjoy free delivery for orders above $100.

Fyre Mooncakes

Fancy something traditional with a bit of a twist? Fyre’s traditional slow-baked mooncakes feature unconventional additions like floral cherry blossoms and sweet lychees. The handcrafted mooncakes are also smoked in-oven with lychee wood for an enhanced flavour. Fans of durians will enjoy the rich Mao Shan Wang snowskin mooncakes with sakura and lychee extract. Fyre also offers Teochew-style taro yam lotus and lychee lotus mooncakes that feature a flaky thousand-layer skin. Because they’re baked rather than fried, Fyre’s versions are slightly lower in calories than traditionally prepared Teochew mooncakes.
