Black Pearl
The Black Pearl goes bold with mooncakes this year, offering two sleek gift boxes – the Signature ($98) and the Limited-Edition Luxe ($198). These boxes are wrapped in black suede and feel more like luxury fashion accessories than dessert packaging.
Inside, you’ll find tea-infused baked mooncakes in flavours like rose lychee, brown sugar red date ginger, and yuzu single yolk. The Luxe box comes with a gooey custard-centred Hong Kong-style baked mooncake. Perfect for modern gift-givers.
Ding Mooncake
If you want quality without spending hotel-level prices, Ding Mooncake delivers. Their white lotus double yolk and mixed nuts flavours stay classic, while the pandan and matcha varieties add a playful twist. The snowskin line includes hits like Mao Shan Wang durian, lychee, kōchi yuzu and strawberry. Plus, there’s a 40% early-bird offer with an extra 25% off bundle deals. Same-day delivery? Even better.
Krumb
Krumb’s “The Moonlight Tale” collection (from $96) mixes storytelling and sweets. Open the box, and you’re greeted with the legend of Chang’e and four mooncakes you can handpick from a range of eight. Flavours include golden yolk lotus, jujube walnut, matcha custard and genmai oat. It’s thoughtful, heartfelt, and made in small batches so every bite tastes like care and quality.
Raffles
Raffles Hotel’s iconic mooncakes are back, and they’re still as luxurious as ever. Returning is the fan-favourite champagne truffle snowskin ($99), joined by new creations like merlot and fig truffle and sakura raspberry snowskin ($97). Every mooncake comes wrapped in an artistically illustrated collector’s tin. Balanced, fragrant, and melt-in-the-mouth, these are great for classy gifting.
Marina Bay
Marina Bay Sands introduces its signature torch ginger blossom double yolk mooncake, wrapped in a sunny yellow box that’s modern and cheerful. The flavour combines silky lotus paste with floral-citrus notes, and the set comes with utensils and a fun tic-tac-toe game. This is the mooncake for those who love blending tradition with a little playful edge.
Goodwood
Celebrating its 125th anniversary, Goodwood Park Hotel is offering a giant chrysanthemum yuzu mango mooncake ($88) in a handwoven basket. But smaller bites still shine, like chendol snowskin or lotus paste with kaya mochi. The snowskin combo ($86) features D24 durian, mango pomelo, cempedak and the yuzu mango. Don’t miss their full range of durian mooncakes, from Black Thorn to Golden Dragon.
Mandarin
Mandarin Oriental’s celadon green mooncake box is a nod to Peranakan charm, doubling as a wine carrier or drawer set. The Four Treasures box ($99) has two classic lotus paste mooncakes and two standout flavours: mochi-filled black sesame and lychee-longan. There’s also a smaller Two Treasures set ($65) if you prefer to keep it simple.
Cedric Grolet
French pastry wizard Cedric Grolet enters Singapore’s mooncake scene with a $108 box of four baked mooncakes. Flavours include vanilla pecan, chocolate-orange azuki, and pumpkin seed. They’re rich, luxurious, and encased in minimalist, chic packaging. While they’re definitely on the sweet side, dessert lovers will be in heaven.
Carlton
Carlton Hotel’s new flavours Da Hong Pao milk tea and strawberry passionfruit ($85 for 8) are exciting, while staples like white lotus double yolk and mixed nuts ($95) stay solid. The walnut moon tarts and low-sugar alternatives round out a balanced lineup. This year’s packaging features elegant orchid motifs in honour of SG60.
Man Fu Yuan
InterContinental Singapore’s Man Fu Yuan offers halal-certified mooncakes, making them perfect for inclusive gifting. The baked range ($96) includes red and white lotus seed paste options, plus a plant-based meat version. The snowskin set ($102) includes molten tea truffle flavours, and there’s even a negroni and lychee martini mini set ($108). All beautifully packed in a turquoise tin.
Shisen
Shisen Hanten’s mooncake set ($98) is perfect for those who love savoury or less sugary options. The Szechuan Harmony mooncake is infused with aged pu’er, oolong and chrysanthemum tea. You’ll also find red bean with pine nuts and a rich Iberico ham mixed nuts mooncake. Presented in a reusable rattan bag, it’s rustic elegance in a box.
ShangriLa
Shangri-La teams up with Udders to create muah chee and chendol snowskin mooncakes ($96). The colourful gift box transforms into an insulated lunch bag. Cocktail lovers can try the Origin Bar set ($128) with negroni flasks and cocktail-flavoured mooncakes.
