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.

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!
