Mooncake Season in Singapore: Our Top Picks for Mid-Autumn Festival 2025

As the breeze cools and lanterns begin to light up the streets, there’s one thing on everyone’s mind in Singapore, mooncakes! At Casa Mia Coliving, the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of our favorite times of the year. It’s a chance to pause, gather with friends (housemates included!), sip some tea, and indulge in the sweet, savory, and sometimes surprising flavours of this beloved seasonal treat.

But with so many options out there, from the traditional baked varieties to inventive snow skin creations, where do you even start?

We’ve got you covered.

TThis year, we embarked on a delicious journey around Singapore to sample some of the best mooncakes available. Whether you’re a fan of the classics or craving something more adventurous, here are our top mooncake recommendations to enjoy this Mid-Autumn Festival.

If you grew up in Singapore or have celebrated the festival here before, chances are these flavours will feel like home. We found that when it comes to authenticity and nostalgia, two spots truly stood out:

2. Thye Moh Chan (Chinatown)

Famous for their Teochew-style flaky pastry, these mooncakes are filled with a rich yam paste that melts in your mouth. A total game-changer if you haven’t tried this style before.
