have a TASTE of THE MOON
THIS MID-AUTUMN SEASON
Celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for families and friends to come together, admire the full moon and enjoy an evening of lanterns, festivities and good food. The festival is deeply rooted in Chinese traditions, with the full moon symbolising reunion and togetherness.
And what better way to join in than with a mooncake? These round pastries are traditionally shared during the festival, with classic varieties filled with lotus paste and salted egg yolk sitting alongside an ever-growing selection of modern creations.
If you’re visiting Singapore during Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s a great opportunity to experience this much-loved tradition through food. From luxurious hotel creations to local bakeries and inventive new flavours, here are some places to pick up a mooncake and get a taste of the season.

A perennial favourite during Singapore’s Mid-Autumn season, Raffles Hotel’s Champagne Truffle Snow-Skin Mooncake has become one of the hotel’s signature festive treats. Beneath its soft, delicate snow-skin exterior is smooth white lotus paste and a rich truffle centre, creating a luxurious contrast between the gentle sweetness of the lotus and the deeper, earthy notes of truffle.
Its popularity comes from that distinctive combination — familiar enough to feel like a mooncake, yet unexpected enough to stand out from the traditional varieties. Paired with the timeless reputation of Raffles, it has become a sought-after choice for both returning fans and first-time mooncake explorers.
If you’re looking to try a mooncake that captures Singapore’s love for putting a modern spin on tradition, this Raffles classic is a delicious place to start.

At Peach Blossoms at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, tradition gets a contemporary makeover with its 2026 Timeless Treasures collection. Crafted by Executive Chinese Chef Edward Chong, the collection brings together familiar mooncake flavours with more unexpected combinations, including the new Charcoal Lychee with Longan, Wolfberries and Okinawan Brown Sugar Mochi.
The standout is a playful mix of textures and flavours — fragrant lychee tea-infused paste, little bursts of dried longan and chewy Okinawan brown sugar mochi come together in one mooncake. It’s a refreshing departure from the usual festive flavours, while still retaining the sense of indulgence that makes mooncakes such a highlight of Mid-Autumn celebrations.
For visitors looking to go beyond the classic lotus paste and salted egg yolk, Peach Blossoms offers a taste of how Singapore’s mooncake scene continues to evolve — taking a centuries-old tradition and giving it a distinctly modern twist.

Mr Bucket Chocolaterie takes a decidedly local approach to chocolate, drawing inspiration from Singapore’s favourite flavours and the diverse ingredients found across Asia.

Beyond the seasonal collection, Mr Bucket is also known for playful local-inspired creations such as Pandan Coconut, Nasi Lemak and Kaya Toast — turning flavours you might recognise from Singapore’s food scene into unexpected chocolate treats.

But at the end of the day, if you want to experience Mid-Autumn Festival the traditional way, Tai Chong Kok is a name worth knowing. A Singapore confectionery with roots dating back to 1935, it has spent three generations making Cantonese pastries and traditional mooncakes by hand, keeping its recipes and techniques close to their original form.
Its mooncakes stay true to the classics, with familiar fillings such as lotus paste, red bean, black sesame, mixed nuts and eight treasures. The bakery still makes its lotus paste from 100% pure lotus seeds without preservatives, while its mooncakes are formed using the same traditional wooden moulds used at its original Sago Street shop in Chinatown.
For those visiting here, this is more than just a mooncake to try — it’s a chance to taste a piece of Singapore’s Cantonese confectionery heritage, just as generations before have done during Mid-Autumn.
