Mid-Autumn Festival is happening on 6 October 2025, and like clockwork, Singapore’s mooncake wizards are back at it, dropping everything from traditional baked skin, heritage-style Orh Nee numbers to wild snow skin collabs packed with liquor, truffle, and whatever else they can sneak in.
Traditionally held on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, Mid-Autumn is the ultimate reunion fest where friends and family gather to admire the glowing moon, sip tea, slice into boxes of mooncakes ranging from timeless classics to experimental bombshells, and parade around with lanterns lighting up the night.
Speaking of lanterns, they started as practical lights guiding festival-goers through the dark, symbolising hope and good fortune. Over centuries, they blossomed into vibrant, artistic displays, shaped like animals, mythical creatures, and scenes from folklore, illuminating not just the night, but the joy of being together under one radiant moon.
But back to mooncakes: whether you’re a baked lotus purist, a snow skin diehard, or just here for the fancy boxes and bags (no judgment), we’ve done the legwork. Here’s your cheat sheet to the most swoon-worthy mooncakes in Singapore this season, guaranteed to level up your gifting and snacking game.
Soup Restaurant

Here’s a debut worth celebrating: Soup Restaurant, the heritage brand known for its Samsui Ginger Chicken and double-boiled soups, is rolling out mooncakes for the very first time this Mid-Autumn Festival. Staying true to tradition, the collection features three timeless favourites: Plain White Lotus with Melon Seed, White Lotus Single Yolk, and White Lotus Double Yolk, all handmade with premium lotus seeds, crunchy melon seeds and those rich, golden salted yolks that every mooncake purist dreams about. Prices start at $16 a piece, or go bigger with a two-piece box ($32) or a four-piece box ($64).
But what makes these mooncakes extra special is the box itself: each tin is elegantly wrapped in a scarf illustrated in the signature JunLe Font by local artist Lee Jun Le, who was diagnosed with autism at age three. His light-hearted brushstrokes bring “花好月圆” to life with blooming flowers, smiling moons and bunnies. Beyond deliciousness, it’s a celebration of inclusion, creativity and community. Add in an early bird 20% discount from 1 to 14 September 2025, and you’ve got tradition, artistry and purpose wrapped up in one very giftable package.

If you’re over the usual lotus paste lineup, Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie is here to flip tradition on its head with its Harvest Moon Collection: a quartet of chocolate mooncakes that feel as modern as they do indulgent. Made bean-to-bar in Singapore, each mooncake spotlights a thoughtful flavour pairing that plays with texture, aroma and nostalgia. Think Honey Osmanthus for a floral, golden sweetness; Pistachio & Orange for that nutty-bright crunch; Kinako Mochi with its toasty soybean depth and chewy surprise; and Chrysanthemum Pomelo for a citrusy, refreshing finish. The result is a playful Mid-Autumn treat that looks like mooncakes but eats like luxury chocolate.
The sets come in two sizes: four pieces ($68) or eight ($98). Both are packed in a limited-edition Picnic Insulated Bag, which doubles as a stylish reusable carryall long after the festivities are over (cue brownie points for practicality). It’s the kind of thoughtful gift that says you tried, but also secretly one you’ll want to keep for yourself. Pre-orders are now live, with delivery, self-collection and walk-in purchases available from 1 September 2025. Consider your mooncake gifting dilemma officially solved.

Mid-Autumn Festival FAQs
When is the Mid-Autumn Festival 2025 in Singapore?
This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Saturday, 6 September 2025.
What’s the story behind the Mooncake Festival?
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Mooncake Festival, traces its roots to ancient China, where it began as a harvest celebration under the full moon. Traditionally held on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon is believed to be at its fullest and brightest, it was a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest and pray for good fortune.
Over time, the festival took on more poetic and mythical layers. One of the most enduring legends tells the tale of Chang’e, the moon goddess who drank an elixir of immortality and ascended to the moon, leaving her lover Hou Yi behind on Earth. Every year, people honour her by admiring the moon and offering mooncakes, which symbolise reunion and completeness.
Today, Mid-Autumn is all about moon-viewing, gatherings, lanterns, and of course, mooncakes, whether they’re stuffed with salted egg yolk, white lotus paste, or filled with trendy spins like champagne truffle or yuzu. At its heart, it’s still a celebration of connection: to family, to tradition, and to the rhythms of the natural world.
Why do we eat mooncakes?
Mooncakes symbolise completeness and unity. Plus, it's yummy!
Where can I buy mooncakes in Singapore?
You can get them at hotels, bakeries, Chinese restaurants, and increasingly, online platforms. Our list includes the most popular and luxurious boxes you’ll want to get your hands on in 2025.
What’s the difference between traditional and snow skin mooncakes?
Traditional mooncakes are baked with a golden-brown pastry and usually filled with lotus paste or red bean, often with salted egg yolk. Snow skin mooncakes are chilled and made with a mochi-like skin, typically filled with inventive or fruity flavours.
How long do mooncakes last?
Generally, traditional baked mooncakes last for up to 30 days if unopened and kept in a cool, dry place. Snow skin mooncakes, being perishable, should be refrigerated and consumed within a week or so. Always check the box!
Where else can I celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?
