9 Innovative and Healthier Mooncakes You Need to Try this Mid-Autumn Festival

9 Innovative and Healthier Mooncakes You Need to Try this Mid-Autumn Festival

written by Amelia Ow September 19, 2018

Everyone knows that the Mid-Autumn festival means one thing: mooncakes! Sinfully toothsome and extremely satisfying, there’s nothing we don’t love about these delightful treats. Besides enjoying mooncakes, this festive season is also about bonding with your loved ones. This year, restaurants and hotels alike stepped up their mooncake game and we’ve gathered some of the most unique creations we love to share the love.

 

1. TungLok Group

When TungLok introduced their healthier range of mooncakes that are certified by the Health Promotion Board, we were all ears. The all-time favourite Double Egg Yolk White Lotus and Double Egg Yolk Red Lotus are lower in sugar, saturated fat, and calories, but higher in dietary fibre. For the fa-nut-ics, go for the Macadamia Nuts White Lotus mooncake with lesser sugar. Mooncakes without the guilt? Sign us up! Spend a healthier Mid-Autumn festival at TungLok for a heartwarming meal with your family and friends.

2. Feng Shui Inn

FengShui Inn - Baked Ginseng and Custard Paste Moon Cake.jpg

Fengshui Inn’s Mid-Autumn Star showcases a delicate mooncake containing more than 5g of premium quality American ginseng, seamlessly blended with white lotus paste and custard. A touch of milk chocolate pearls adds a textural crunch to every bite. This energy-boosting pastry is indeed the star of the season!

3. Din Tai Fung

Looking for something different as a gift? Din Tai Fung’s Taiwan Pineapple Cakes are a refreshing alternative to the traditional mooncakes. Fresh and free from preservatives, these parcels of golden, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth goodness are filled with moist, sweet Taiwanese pineapple filling. It’s an upgrade from the usual Chinese New Year pineapple tarts! Packaged in a limited edition box of 10, featuring lively and adorable brand mascots, it is a sure hit with the little ones.

4. CreatureS

CreatureS Jade Mooncakes - Original 1.jpg

CreatureS presents the highlight of the season, the exquisite Jade Snowskin Durian Mooncake, housed in an elegant Peranakan-inspired box. The unique green marbling on the translucent white snow skin truly stands out from the crowd. The robust Mao Shan Wang durian filling even has real durian flesh! You can’t call yourself a true Durian lover if you don’t get your hands on one of these bad boys.

5. Mitzo Restaurant & Bar

Similar to the stunning interior and exquisite offerings, Mitzo puts a spin on the Spiral Flaky Mooncakes. The buttery, flaky crust falls apart as you bite into the smooth yam paste and the savoury salted egg core. At Mitzo, they upped the ante with added crushed pistachio nuts for that extra satisfying crunch! The golden yellow-against-black design of the mooncakes resemble the full moon against the dark night sky – we can’t think of a better mooncake that fits the occasion!

This year, Marina Bay Sands brings to the table seven brand new mooncake creations encased in a stylish pink bag that’s perfect for gifting. Amongst which are the aromatic Pu Erh Tea Mooncake that is rich in antioxidants and the flavourful Multigrain Mooncake containing a mix of lotus and melon seeds, rolled oats, walnuts, and more. You can look forward to the Japanese Sweet Potato Snowskin Mooncake where flavours of the Okinawa Sweet Potato, Gula Melaka and Azuki red beans blend perfectly well together. Refresh your palate with the Passion Mango Yoghurt Mooncake, a unique take on the traditional mooncake that gives you a taste of the tropics.

7. Cherry Garden

Cherry Garden puts a local twist to the traditional mooncake with the new Pandan Mooncake with Red Bean and Melon Seeds. The Sea Salt Caramel with Taro and Shredded Coconut Mooncake is a good blend of salty and sweet. We also recommend trying the Mango Puree with Macadamia Nuts Snowskin Mooncake for those who prefer a fruity flavour. Opt for the Assortment of Mini Snowskin Mooncakes packed in a teal-coloured oriental drawer box adorned with flowers and birds motifs, making it a beautiful gift for guests.

If you are a fan of acai, the Acai Berry and Chia Seeds Snowskin Mooncake packed with nutritional benefits will entice you. Have a taste of acai berry infused with organic chia seeds and Greek yoghurt. Who says mooncakes have to be paired with Chinese tea? Switch things up with a glass of champagne and Champagne Truffle Snowskin Mooncake or the Cognac Truffle Snowskin Mooncake, a divine blend of Brandy and dark chocolate ganache. If alcohol is not your thing, have your favourite bubble tea packed in one mooncake with the Earl Grey and Pearl Snowskin Mooncake.

Les Fleurs De Lumiere Mooncake Collection Box Design.jpg

Sofitel Singapore releases their Magnifique Les Fleurs De Lumiére Mooncake Collection comprising of four different kinds of mooncake. But first, can we talk about how gorgeous the packaging is? Anyone would be happy to receive this stunning box of baked goods. Besides The Traditional White Lotus Paste and Salted Egg Yolk, The Singapore Je T’aime features a blend of sweet red date paste, mildly bitter almonds, and the hotel’s signature tea blends. The Oriental delicately combines green tea paste and melon seeds to give you that satisfying bite. The most interesting creation out of all of them is The Luxe, which uses French-inspired and traditional oriental ingredients to create the Truffle Oil and Foie Gras Mooncake.
