Mooncakes are an essential part of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a holiday that falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month. It is a traditional Chinese pastry made from wheat flour and sweet stuffing and it symbolizes a family reunion as it is cut into pieces that equal the number of people in the family.
There are several traditional tastes of mooncakes:
- Traditional ones, filled with lotus paste or red bean paste. Sometimes they have one or two salted egg yolks in the center of the filling.
- Snowskin mooncakes. These are not baked as the crust is made with glutinous rice and they are filled with fruits
- Teochew mooncakes are made of filo pastry and the filling is made with yam, green or red bean paste.
However, today bakeries, hotels, and restaurants go above and beyond to amuse eaters with unique and original tastes of this traditional delicacy. And despite the fact that this year the physical mooncake fairs or roadshows are unlikely to take place, there is no need to worry! There will be plenty of online fairs and mooncake deliveries will work like a charm.
And we have rounded up some of the best places to buy the best mooncakes in Singapore!
