Top 10 Mooncake Shops in Singapore That You Can’t Miss This Season
I’ve had my fair share of mooncakes, from trying traditional lotus seed-filled ones to creative variations with salted egg yolk, red bean, and even ice cream fillings.
Each year, I’d sample new flavors, trying to find that perfect mooncake that balances the richness of the filling with the right amount of sweetness.
But after trying so many, I found myself wondering where the truly exceptional ones were hiding.
That’s when I decided to dig deeper and research the best mooncake shops in Singapore. I visited a variety of bakeries, compared reviews, and, of course, tasted more mooncakes.
The process turned into a bit of a mission, but it led me to discover spots I never knew existed. Now I’m sharing them with you!

Address: 10 Bayfront Avenue
Phone: +65 6688 8588
Must-order: Mao Shan Wang Mooncake
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Marina Bay Sands has an exceptional selection of mooncakes that’s worth checking out.
The baked ones with red bean paste and dried tangerine peel are amazing—super aromatic and perfectly balanced. I love how the 20-year dried tangerine peel reveals a deeper kind of flavor.
For something a little more out there, definitely go for the snowskin mooncake with Mao Shan Wang durian filling. It’s so creamy and smooth, and it just melts in your mouth.
Marina Bay Sands also has this exclusive collection from Mott 32, which elevates the whole eating experience. It’s inspired by the restaurant’s signature dishes, so you know it’s going to be full of flavor.
Plus, the packaging is really pretty, making them a perfect gift if you’re looking to impress during the Mid-Autumn festival.
Pro Tip: Once in season, you should try their mooncakes during their moon-viewing parties.

Address: North Bridge Road Atrium

Must-order: Sakura and Raspberry Truffle Mooncake
I had the opportunity to try the mooncakes from Raffles Hotel, and they are truly exceptional among the many options available out there.
The baked mooncakes feature a rich, buttery crust that complements their fillings beautifully. But what impressed me most was their snowskin collection, particularly the types of flavors you won’t find just anywhere.
The Champagne Truffle mooncake combines a smooth white lotus paste with an elegant champagne-infused center—a sophisticated interpretation of the traditional mooncake.
I found the Sakura and Raspberry Truffle especially noteworthy. Drawing inspiration from the Singapore Sling cocktail, it’s got these gorgeous notes of raspberries and cherry blossoms, balanced with the sweetness of white lotus paste.
Pro Tip: If you’re looking for mooncakes that are a little over the top, get the premium-backed mooncake box, which includes a variety of mooncake flavors with porcelain side plates.
3. Mandarin Oriental

Must-order: Mango Pomelo Mooncake
When you’re in a splurging mood, the mooncakes from Mandarin Oriental Singapore are definitely worth it. The hotel itself is super fancy—right by Marina Bay with those gorgeous views—and their mooncakes carry the same level of sophistication.
Each one is made with care and you can tell a lot of care goes into every detail. They’ve got a great collection too, including classic options such as the smooth Egg Custard mooncake and the Lotus mooncake.
While these traditional flavors are a hit, many out there vouch for their signature Snowskin Cherry Garden Six Jewels. It’s this intricate mooncake that mixes multiple textures and flavors in a single bite.
Another interesting type would be the Mango Pomelo as it captures the essence of a popular dessert soup in a delicate snowskin wrapper.
While their selection is not extensive, each mooncake reflects the hotel’s commitment to refined flavors and exceptional craftsmanship.

Must-order: Mini Snowskin Lycheetini Mooncake
Another hotel in the Marina Bay area is the Ritz-Carlton, known for its exceptional culinary services. With such a reputation, it’s not surprising that their mooncakes stand out.
Their latest creation—a baked White Lotus Seed Paste mooncake featuring brown sugar, red dates, ginger, longan, and pumpkin seeds—makes a particularly strong impression.
The ginger provides a subtle warmth while the dates and longan contribute natural sweetness to this thoughtfully composed treat.
Their snowskin varieties deserve recognition as well. The Mini Snowskin White Lotus Seed Paste and Mini Snowskin Green Tea with Yolk demonstrate traditional expertise.
But it’s the Mini Snowskin Lycheetini that becomes the topic of conversation. This creative interpretation brings the essence of the popular cocktail into a refined festive pastry with fruity characteristics.
These mooncakes may be fewer in number compared to other establishments. But the limited selection actually works in their favor—focusing on quality rather than variety.
Pro Tip: Go for their Saffiano mooncake boxes—they’re lightweight and compact, and built for easy travel. This is a convenient choice for when you’re on the move.

Their mooncakes are a classic, with options like Lotus Seed Paste and one with a yolk in the center. There’s also a nut-filled version for those looking for a bit more texture.
The snow skin sticks to the traditional lotus seed paste filling, which may be simple but delicious.

Must-order: Mark’s Chicken Floss Mooncake
Bread Garden exhibits their deep-rooted passion for baking, having received countless requests from friends and family for their delicious sweets. This inspired them to take their love for baking further and share it with a wider audience.
They have an impressive selection of mooncakes, and I couldn’t resist trying a few during the season.
I got the Diamond Grandeur Set, which included the Golden Emerald mooncake. This one’s a real indulgence with its aromatic pandan paste layered with velvety lotus seed paste and salted egg yolk inside.
But the most unique flavor I encountered was the Mark’s Chicken Floss mooncake. It’s filled with a combination of chicken floss and lotus paste, which sounds unusual, but the savory-sweet pairing actually works really well.

Must-order: Green Bean Paste Mooncake
Pastries with a strong foundation in tradition are the specialty of Tai Chong Kok. This place has been making mooncakes the same way since 1935, handing down the process from generation to generation.
I noticed one of their classic flavors, the Green Bean Paste mooncake, has this nice crunch from the melon seeds and the smooth, earthy taste of mung beans.
Tai Chong Kok really knows how to preserve the old-school techniques. The mooncakes are still made by hand, and they even use the same traditional wooden molds from their original store in Chinatown.
The packaging is old-school too, with the mooncakes wrapped in brown paper bags tied with string, just like in pre-war Singapore.
Pro Tip: When you’re in the mood for more traditional flavors, opt for the lotus paste or red bean paste varieties.

You should start with their signature Durian mooncake, which is made with the finest durians. It’s a real treat—rich, creamy, and with just the right amount of tang to make it simply enjoyable.
If you prefer something more playful on the palate, I recommend the Lychee Martini Snowskin is filled with lotus paste and white chocolate martini ganache. This one offers a refreshing departure from the usual.

Ding Bakery has been making mooncakes since 1990, and it’s easy to see why they’ve become a beloved brand.
They’ve perfected their mooncakes over the years by using Grade AAA salted duck eggs. They even source other ingredients from Hunan, a place known for high-quality lotus seed paste.
One of the popular flavors is the Black Gold Mao Shan Wang mooncake, where the rich durian filling is painted with a bit of gold dust, providing a bit of luxury.
They also include a more unique option to try—the French Earl Grey Lavender, which offers a complex blend of Earl Grey and lavender that creates this fragrant, distinct flavor profile.
If you’re interested, note that this is an online-only shop, so you’ll need to order ahead to enjoy their mooncakes.
