Mid-Autumn season is coming up again, and this year’s lineup features some new and exciting mooncake flavours in the most exquisite packagings! Be prepared to have your mind blown! From traditional classics, to more innovative flavours and renditions, here’s our round-up of our favourite brands!
Paradise Group
Paradise Group is elevating mid-autumn celebrations to new heights by adding a touch of luxury and finesse to their newly created Fruity Liqueur Snow Skin Mooncakes (S$62 per box of 8 pieces)!
Each of these handcrafted Fruity Liqueur Snow Skin Mooncakes is filled with silky smooth white lotus seed paste and a crunchy chocolate truffle core infused with different liqueurs. Encasing the soft centre is a thin layer of crunchy chocolate shell made using premium, natural chocolate from Valrhona’s Inspiration.
There are four flavours available – Japanese Yuzu with Sake, Passionfruit with Choya, White Peach Crème de Peche, and Red Cherry Griottine. For the enthusiasts and adventurous folks, these alcohol-infused mooncakes will be a refreshing treat for the senses.
Those who have a penchant for classic treats will love the traditional mooncakes. Paradise Group’s offerings are made with less sugar and hence are a healthier alternative. Flavours include Baked Pure White Lotus Paste with Double Yolk, Baked White Lotus Paste with Assorted Nuts and more.
My personal favourite is the Traditional Teochew Yam Pastry Mooncake (S$54 per box of 4 pieces). Freshly prepared in the kitchen upon order, the silky and mildly sweet yam paste harmonises beautifully with the luscious salted egg yolk and pine nuts, resulting in a satisfying texture and well-rounded flavour.
Back by popular demand, the Mini Baked Custard with Molten Salted Egg Yolk (S$56 per box of 8 pieces) is brushed with edible gold dust for a touch of elegance. The unique savoury and sweet combination that’s filled with oozy goodness has been a hit amongst locals since it was first launched in 2018.
Paradise Group’s mooncakes are 100% handmade from a divine blend of premium ingredients and baked fresh with no preservatives. They are packaged in intricate gold-plated acrylic box detailed with floral motifs, which can most definitely be repurposed.

Durian Law
The Mid-Autumn Festival is traditionally a time for reunion – symbolised by the ‘completeness’ of the full moon that will light up the night sky on 1 October 2020 – and the enjoyment of mooncakes.
The Durian Law is a homegrown Durian Delivery platform for 818 durians. This is the go-to brand for quality no-frills and tasty durian as attested by many Singaporeans. This year, they have curated a series of snowskin mooncakes that are crafted with the finest ingredients.
In the spotlight is the Mao Shan Wang Snowskin Mooncake ($98 for 8 pieces) which sees a rich and creamy Mao Shan Wang durian pulp enveloped in a velvety-soft snowskin. Filled with 100% premium grade A naturally creamy Mao Shan Wang, each mooncake boasts a creamy texture with intense flavours that begins on a sweet note and ends on a bitter one.
A quartet of tantalising snowskin mooncake flavours are debuting this year — Matcha, Dark Chocolate, Lotus Paste and Azuki Red Bean. The paste for their mooncakes are made from the finest natural ingredients with no added sugar and preservatives. Each bite leaves you wanting more. The box of Assorted Snowskin Mooncake ($78 for 8 pieces) makes a perfect gift for family members, friends, and corporate clients.
PROMOTIONS:
From now till 31st August, The Durian Law will be offering a 1-For-1 Special promotion! For $98, you can purchase either one box of Durian Mooncake and Assorted Snowskin Mooncakes OR 2 boxes of Assorted Snowskin Mooncakes. Hurry, while stocks last!

You can either self collect at 818 Durians (26 Defu Lane 10 #01-88) or top up $10 for delivery. As their snowskin mooncakes are made fresh, they can be kept for up to 5 days in the chiller and 2 weeks in the freezer.
Crystal Jade Group
It’s time to revel in moonlit festivities, with Crystal Jade Group’s range of delectable mooncakes.
The snow skin mooncakes take on an exciting local spin this year. Sink your teeth into the Assorted Petite Snow Skin Mooncakes ($72.80 for 8 pieces) in four artisanal flavours — Sea Salt Caramel, Lychee Martini, Coconut, & Taro. The snow skin mooncake may sound very sweet, but the combination is well-balanced. I particularly like the coconut snow skin mooncake which reveals a chocolate shell with grated coconut filling, providing a satisfying bite.
There is always something comforting about traditional mooncakes. With its signature golden brown pastry skin and premium low-sugar white lotus paste that oozes wholesome goodness, Crystal Jade Group’s Traditional Baked White Lotus Paste with Single Yolk and Traditional Baked White Lotus Paste with Double Yolk will thrill all palates. They are available in boxes of 2 or 4 pieces ($40.70 to $72.80).
Choose from three different mooncake packaging – Minimalist box, Classy Turquoise gift box and Exquisite Two-tier gift box — which can hold either two or four pieces of baked mooncakes, or eight pieces of mini snow skin mooncakes.

Chui Lau Heung
As the moon turns full on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Lunar Calendar, it is time to gather the entire family, young and old, to remember the tale of Chang Er – the Goddess of the Moon – and commemorate her beauty and sacrifice with lanterns and a taste of mooncakes for fullness and good fortune.
Chui Lau Heung, which started on South Bridge Road, created Chui Lau Heung mooncakes in 2003. Their mooncakes are sold in various continents, and is one of the top 5 mooncake brands in Hong Kong.
Their signature mooncakes include the Mini Mao Shan Wang Durian Crystal Mooncake ($39.90 for 6 pieces) and Mini Mao Shan Wang Durian Molten Crystal Mooncake ($42.90 for 6 pieces). Wrapped in a soft and chewy translucent mochi-like skin, the rich and creamy, yet mildly sweet and bitter Mao Shan Wong durian filling takes centre-stage in both mooncakes. Chui Lau Heung uses only Malaysian durians in their creations. The novel Durian Crystal mooncake is made to resemble a faceted jewel when fully thawed. The mooncakes are not too sweet, have durian fibres, and the skin of the mooncakes is thinner than usual.
If you find crystal durian mooncake not novel enough, go for the crystal durian molten mooncake with an egg yolk-like durian filling at the epi-centre. The taste of the crystal moon cake varies when thawed for different durations — enjoy the mooncake like a frozen ice cream or thaw it for longer so you get a creamy core and a chewier skin. You can even torch the crystal skin with a flame gun to add a “wow” factor to the taste. Warm and crispy on the outside and cold and tender on the inside, this mooncake is fun and enjoyable for Mid-Autumn celebrations.
Rich and creamy in texture is the Mini Snowskin Mao Shan Wang Durian ($39.90 for 6 pieces). Each bite of the pastel pink mooncake that’s packed with the creamiest and most powerful punch of Mao Shan Wang durian pulp might take your breath away. This is a sinful treat that leaves you craving for more. Order directly from https://www.chuilauheung.sg
PROMOTIONS:
Check out with exclusive promo code “MISSTAMCHIAK” and enjoy $10 off when your order hits $39.90 (till September 15th 2020). Buy 3 box mooncakes and get 1 free flame gun. Chui Lau Heung is also offering free delivery with any purchase.

This year, they have launched two new baked mooncakes – Golden Royale ($15) and Royal Milk Tea ($15). The former sees a luscious combination of custard and salted egg yolk, while the latter will satisfy your boba craving with its silky milk tea and brown sugar core.
Thrill your taste buds with their Signature Diamond Jewel Treasure Set ($64) which consists of Golden Emerald, Charcoal Golden Emerald, Golden Red Emerald and Golden Royale. Beautifully encased in an elegant two-tier golden chest box, these traditional mooncakes make a great gift for your loved ones and business associates.

The chocolate frenzy continues with another new addition — the Coco Lava Snowskin Mooncake ($14) — which promises a lava core filled with crunchy bits and premium Italian hazelnut coco, delicately swathed in a smooth and refreshing paste.
Durian aficionados should not miss the MSW Jewel Set ($45 for 2 pcs). Meticulously handcrafted by their culinary mastros, each mooncake is packed with a rich and flavourful Mao Shan Wang durian pulp. This definitely makes a great gift, but you should most certainly get a few for yourself!

Making its debut this year, the Charcoal Snowskin Mooncake with Salted Egg Custard packs a punch and each bite (literally) oozes a medley of sweet and savoury flavours. This sweet treat is not only delightfully delicious, but a beauty to behold as well. With specks of gold dust sprinkled on its charcoal black snowskin, the mooncake visually resembles a starry night sky and is sure to bring us over the moon.
Gim Tim is also bringing back its hot favourite, the Crispy Mooncake Series. This highly sought-after mooncake has orders flying in by the dozens and it is clear why.

The humble kitchen does everything from the processing of the yam paste to the infusion of flavours through boiling and deep-frying with shallot oil, giving each mooncake its to- die-for, thin and crispy crust.
Another returning favourite is the signature selection of Traditional Baked Mooncakes. Baked to a golden-brown hue, each mooncake is lusciously filled with smooth white lotus paste that complements perfectly with the double egg yolk in its centre. This all-time favourite mooncake is made with the finest ingredients and baked to perfection. Opt for the Classic Assorted Nuts option for a fragrant, nutty finish.
