Takashimaya’s Mid-Autumn Fair

50+ Mooncake Brands Under One Roof

Takashimaya in Orchard hosts its annual Mid-Autumn Fair, one of Singapore’s largest mooncake showcases.

Held at Takashimaya Square on the B2 level, the event features over 50 brands—including renowned hotels and restaurants.

Mooncake Traditions and Trends

At each counter, mooncakes — baked and snow-skin varieties — dazzle in a kaleidoscope of colours and shapes.

Flavours range from classic favourites like salted egg yolk and lotus seed to more Western-inspired creations such as chocolate and strawberry, making it hard to choose just one.

Beyond the mooncake itself, the recent focus on visual appeal and luxury is evident in Singapore’s mooncake market.

From tiffin-style containers to antique-inspired chests, the packaging is so charming it often steals the spotlight.

Takashimaya’s Mooncake Fair runs until October 6, 2025.

This is the perfect chance to browse a wide selection of renowned mooncake sets all in one place, allowing you to see them up close—some even offer tastings—and carefully decide which one to take home.

Must-Try Mooncakes in Chinatown

Taste of Tradition at Tong Heng

Chinatown, a cornerstone of Chinese culture in Singapore, comes alive during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Long-established pastry shops in the area bustle with locals eager to purchase traditional mooncakes.

The most famous of these is Tong Heng, located along South Bridge Road.

Its display case is lined with classic baked mooncakes, featuring the lotus seed filling with salted egg yolk — a time-honoured flavour beloved by generations.

Bite-Sized Mooncakes at Bee Cheng Hiang

Bee Cheng Hiang, a household name with around 50 outlets across Singapore—including two near Chinatown MRT station—is best known for its signature Bak Kwa (BBQ pork jerky).

Beyond its savoury specialities, the shop also offers a wide selection of traditional Chinese pastries.

Shaped like Chinese chess pieces, the Chess Mooncake is a bite-sized treat measuring around 2cm in diameter.

Also available are charming Merlion-shaped mooncake cookies, sold individually—perfect for a sweet treat.

In Singapore, where large mooncakes are typically sliced and shared, these petite mooncakes are a rare find—making them a delightful choice for anyone eager to sample a variety of flavours.

Raffles Signature Mooncakes

Champagne Truffle Delight

Next on the mooncake journey is Singapore’s iconic landmark, Raffles Hotel.

A special pop-up booth for mooncakes awaits on the ground floor of the Raffles Arcade, facing North Bridge Road.

Each year, Raffles Hotel offers both traditional baked and snow skin varieties — but the snow skin mooncakes are the clear standout.

Among these, the most popular is their signature Champagne Truffle mooncake.

Encased in a soft, chewy skin, the mooncake unveils a luscious blend of lotus paste and chocolate. A hint of liqueur lends a subtle touch of sophistication — an indulgence worthy of Raffles.

Please note, however, that snow skin mooncakes have a shorter shelf life than the baked variety, typically lasting 5 to 7 days.

The Raffles Hotel mooncake booth is open until 6 October 2025. For more details and reservations, please visit Raffles Hotel’s official website.
