From time-honoured baked classics to spirited snowskin creations dressed in handsome collectible boxes, this year’s mooncake season is serving tradition with a side of indulgence
Mid-Autumn Festival is the time of year when hotels and dining establishments pull out all the stops, unveiling mooncake collections that range from reverently traditional to cleverly contemporary.
This season, expect the usual favourites: silky lotus pastes, savoury yolks and delicate skins, alongside flavour pairings that lean more playful, luxurious, and occasionally boozy. The packaging, too, has become part of the appeal, with many collections arriving in beautifully designed boxes that feel every bit as giftable as the treats within. Whether you’re shopping for clients, bringing a box to dinner, or simply seeking a worthy excuse to stock up, these eight mooncake collections deserve a place on your radar.
The Black Pearl
The Black Pearl’s The Celestial Pearl collection makes a strong case for gifting that looks every bit as considered as what lies within. Priced at S$108 per box, the set of four arrives in a suede-lined keepsake case dressed in deep purple hues and iridescent accents, its mother-of-pearl-inspired finish lending it a luxurious glow.
Inside, the assortment strikes a thoughtful balance between tradition and novelty, spanning familiar favourites such as the Baked Custard Filling with Egg Yolk and Low Sugar White Lotus Seed Paste with Double Yolk, alongside more contemporary creations like Longjing with Pumpkin Seeds and Purple Sweet Potato with Milk Lotus. Those who prefer a fully classic route can opt for the Golden Custard Box, while the Pearl Harmony Box offers a mixed selection.
Early-bird orders enjoy 30 per cent off until 31 August, with pre-orders running from 1 July onwards.
Raffles Hotel
Alongside the ever-popular Champagne Truffle Snow-Skin Mooncake, this year’s Raffles Hotel mid-autumn lineup introduces new flavours such as Whisky & Lapsang Souchong Truffle and Matcha & Raspberry Truffle, while baked purists can look to classics including Mother-of-Pearl with Single Yolk and White Lotus Paste. The limited-edition Premium Mooncake Box, created in collaboration with Art:Dis and accompanied by handcrafted ceramic plates, adds a thoughtful layer of collectability to the offering.
Prices start from S$103 nett for baked mooncakes and S$105 nett for standard boxes, while the premium set is priced at S$228 nett. Orders can be placed online until 18 September, with self-collection or delivery from 3 August, alongside early-bird discounts for selected cardholders.
Capella Hotel
Capella Singapore debuts its mid-autumn collection, Woven in Harmony, an inaugural collection that ties together tradition, sentiment and a subtle nod to Sentosa’s heritage as a pineapple plantation. On the baked front, flavours span Signature Pineapple Custard and Premium White Lotus, Premium White Lotus, Single Yolk and Melon Seed, and Heritage Premium Assorted Nuts and Yunnan Ham, while the snow skin selection turns more contemporary with combinations such as Pineapple, Navegante Rum by Bob’s Bar and White Lotus and Gula Melaka Chocolate Truffle, Sea Salt and White Lotus.
Prices are set at S$138 nett for the baked box and S$158 for the snow skin collection, both comprising six mooncakes. The collection will be available from 18 August to 27 September 2026.
Hilton Singapore Orchard
Hilton Singapore Orchard has teamed up with Old Seng Choong for a Mid-Autumn collection that balances nostalgia, craftsmanship and a more thoughtful approach to gifting. The standout is The Orchard Earth Box, a reusable modular gift box made with responsibly sourced and recyclable materials, complete with lantern riddles and playful seasonal details that give it added charm beyond the festival itself. Inside, the baked mooncake selection spans classics such as Lotus Paste with Single and Double Yolks alongside more contemporary flavours like Hojicha Pine Nut and Orange Red Bean Taro.
Available from 8 June to 25 September 2026, the collection also includes a 25 per cent early-bird discount for orders made and paid by 6 August 2026. Bulk orders come with extra perks, including complimentary logo customisation for 50 boxes and above, while collection begins from 1 August at Ginger.Lily.
TWG Tea
TWG Tea debuts its new leading lady: Miss Tea, a decidedly glamorous Mid-Autumn collection that bridges tea ritual, gifting and a touch of old-world pageantry. Presented in a striking teal-and-gold keepsake box, the range features 12 artisanal mooncakes: six baked, and six snowskin, all infused with the brand’s signature blends. Among the standouts are new creations such as Blossom, with Miss Tea-infused white lotus paste, dried longan and a rose confit heart, and Jewel, which pairs Miss Tea-infused yam paste with a pumpkin pudding centre. Returning signatures such as Constellation will also appeal to those who prefer a more classic expression.
The collection is priced at S$90 for a set of four mooncakes paired with Miss Tea, S$70 for a set of six mooncakes, and S$15 per piece, and will be available from 20 August 2026 for a limited time at all TWG Tea Salons & Boutiques in Singapore.
Mandarin Oriental
Mandarin Oriental Singapore keeps things elegant and classical with Moonlit Harmony, a baked mooncake collection that places emphasis on both presentation and flavour. Housed in gift boxes adorned with peonies and butterflies, the sets are designed to be upcycled into jewellery boxes complete with a built-in vanity mirror, a thoughtful touch that adds to its gifting appeal. The Four Treasures Baked Mooncake set features a balanced mix of signatures and new-season interest, from white lotus paste with single and double yolks to the returning Black Sesame with Mochi, plus the debut of Assorted Nuts with Royal Chilli Sauce for those who prefer a more unexpected finish. A smaller Two Treasures set is also available for more modest gifting.
Orders are open until 25 September 2026, with 30 per cent off the four-piece set until 13 August using the promo code EARLYBIRD30.
