8 Top Halal Mooncake Brands in Singapore

With tender pastry skin on the outside and sweet filling on the inside, who doesn’t love mooncakes? Since Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, these seasonal desserts are back for everyone to enjoy.

Mid-Autumn Festival is observed on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which falls on 13 September this year. Other than celebrating the harvesting of crops, the moon is the brightest and roundest on that night which symbolises family reunion.

Although there are so many mooncake brands around, only a few are halal-certified. Here’s a list of eight of the best halal mooncake brands in Singapore to kickstart your family reunion: 

1. Concorde Hotel Singapore

Despite the numerous eye-catching mooncake packaging, Concorde Hotel Singapore’s mooncake packaging definitely takes the cake! The mooncakes are enclosed in an LED moon globe that can be used as a night lamp after the sweet treats have been devoured. 

Take your pick from five mooncake flavours; White Lotus Paste, White Lotus Paste Single Yolk, White Lotus Paste Double Yolk, Golden Jade Single Yolk and Assorted Fruit and Nut. With an aromatic pandan-infused lotus paste, the Golden Jade Single Yolk is a definite fan favourite.
