ONCE IN A FULL MOON
Check out our Mid-Autumn Festival picks!If you’re a traditionalist, you’d know that back in the day, the Mid-Autumn Festival marked the end of the harvest season and was a time to express gratitude for the year’s bounty. Today, we’re no longer farmers but it’s generally still regarded as a time for togetherness. It’s also the only time of the year that we get to feast on mooncakes!
With so many options to choose from, we’ve put together some of our top picks this Mid-Autumn Festival. Check it out!
Healthier Choices
TungLok Group
Looking for healthier mooncakes? TungLok is the very first in Singapore to develop low-sugar mooncakes in line with the Health Promotion Board’s Healthier Dining Programme guidelines. Allulose, a naturally occurring novel sugar, is used in their lotus paste, resulting in a lower-calorie and lower-sugar product. The Autumn Blossoms collection offers a constellation of classic flavours for those who prefer simplicity and allows you to pick your favourites from four luxuriously-baked gems: Double Yolk White Lotus, Egg Yolk White Lotus, Macadamia Nuts White Lotus, Egg Yolk Pandan Lotus with Pistachios. From now until 21 September, enjoy 15% off when you buy 2 to 10 boxes, 20% off for 11 to 50 boxes, 25% off for 51 to 100 boxes, and 30% off for 101 boxes and more. Visit any TungLok restaurant at Orchard Central (#07-07 and #11-05), Square 2 (#01-73) and Clarke Quay Central (#02-88).
Mr Bean
Soybean specialist Mr Bean is another great option if you’re looking for a healthier take on mooncakes. Its mooncakes are made with soy flour, which is rich in protein, iron, B vitamins, and calcium. Satisfy your Mao Shan Wang durian cravings with the Mao Shan Wang Durian Snowskin Mooncake, go classic with the White Lotus, which is made up of silky white lotus encased in a chewy crust or indulge in the double yolk option. Other favourites like the Rose Red Bean Mooncake and Golden Mixed Nuts Mooncake are also available. Act now because the early bird special gets you 20% off with two or more boxes or 10% off one box!
