Mid-Autumn Festival means mooncakes galore! Here are our best picks of these indulgent and tasty treats for you and the kids!

Growing up, the Mid-Autumn Festival was one of my favourite cultural holidays of the year (and it still is!). The adults in the family would get together and enjoy the evening by sharing mooncakes and tea; while my siblings, cousins, and I would play with paper or cellophane lanterns (before they caught on fire…). I’ve since moved on from Team Lantern to Team Mooncake.

As a self-professed mooncake fan, the highlight of every Mid-Autumn Festival (taking place on 25 September 2026 this year, by the way) for me is checking out the range of mooncakes. Traditional flavours, modern flavours – I love them all. Bonus points if they come in gorgeous packaging that doubles up storage or jewellery boxes; some packaging could even be used as toys for the kids!

Having tried mooncakes from different brands over the years (without overly spiking my blood sugar), here’s a list of my personal faves and flavours that I look forward to trying this Mid-Autumn Festival.

11. Cat & the Fiddle

Love durian? You have got to get your hands on Cat & the Fiddle’s mao shan wang durian snow skin mooncakes. Though it differs from previous years with only one mooncake flavour and collection, I can’t say I’m disappointed as a durian fan. Imagine biting into soft mochi and rich, creamy MSW durian filling. The ultimate indulgence, if you ask me!
