Types of Mooncakes in Singapore

Before we get into the list of places where you can buy mooncakes in Singapore, here’s a quick overview at some of the different types of mooncakes made by the various dialect groups. 

Armed with this knowledge, you will be able to decide which mooncakes you wish to get.

Type of Mooncake Description of the Mooncake
Teochew Mooncake It has a crispy, spiral-layered crust that crumbles easily. The filling typically consists of yam paste and a salted duck egg yolk.
Hokkien Mooncake It is usually decorated with a red stamp of Chinese characters on the top of the crust. It is usually made with a sweet filling that is made of candied winter melon, tangerine peel, melon seeds and sugar.
Hainanese Mooncake This variety of mooncake is traditionally filled with ingredients such as fried shallots, lard, salt, white pepper, rose-flavoured white sugar, sesame seeds, melon seeds and dried wild tangerine skin peel, encased in a thin crust.
Hakka Mooncake This mooncake is a flat, snow-white disc made with cooked glutinous rice flour and sugar, giving it a crumbly and powdery texture. It doesn’t usually contain any fillings.
Cantonese Mooncake The Cantonese mooncake is what most people think about when “mooncake” is mentioned in Singapore. The filling consists of lotus seed or red bean paste and usually include one or two salted duck egg yolks.

The snow skin variation on the Cantonese mooncakes was created in 1960s Hong Kong and was meant to be a healthier alternative to the baked version.

Mooncake Fairs in Singapore

If you wish to head out and shop for mooncakes at fairs where you can find a whole range of shops selling mooncakes in Singapore, there are two venues that you should take note of. 

Takashimaya Square at Basement 2 of Ngee Ann City will have a large mooncake fair. You can browse through the various vibrant stalls set up at the event space and shop for your favourite mooncakes in Singapore. The Mid-Autumn Fair will be running from 24 August to 29 September 2023.

VivoCity Level 1 also plays host to a large mooncake fair where multiple brands will have mooncakes on sale. It is also a convenient place to shop for a variety of mooncakes in Singapore, all at one location.


Enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore

Do remember to take the time to enjoy the mooncakes and the Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore. Besides mooncakes, you can also head out to the parks and gardens around Singapore on a lantern walk or to play some games to make memories together, enjoy lantern riddles or rhymes, or even to enjoy the sight of the full moon during the festival.

Singapore is such a culturally diverse place so it wonderful to be able to enjoy different aspects of the country’s culture, plus there is so many different types of cuisine to enjoy as well, whether it be local or from further afield around the region and beyond. Even though the Mid-Autumn Festival is not a public holiday, it is still a time when families and friends can come together and enjoy each other’s company.

If you are a big mooncake and Mid-Autumn Festival fan, we think that you will also enjoy our other stories on easy to make mooncakes. Or you may also enjoy this other one about an upcoming event in September.
