10 Quirky Mooncakes That Break Tradition With Flavours Like Bubble Tea, Chilli And Salted Egg Yolk
As Mid-Autumn Festival rolls around, it’s once again time to binge on mooncakes!
While we love a good traditional lotus paste mooncake, we have to admit, it’s the novel, intriguingly flavoured mooncakes that tend to grab our attention – and this year, there are plenty of these out there.
Alcoholic mooncakes, ice cream mooncakes, ‘liu sha‘ mooncakes… The list goes on.
Here are some of the most outrageously untraditional mooncakes we could find, and we think you’ll be hard pressed to pick just one to try.
1. Mandarin Orchard – Red Wine Cranberry Paste With Japanese Yuzu and Lemongrass
Alcoholics, now you can even get your buzz from mooncakes!
[caption id="attachment_29486" align="aligncenter" width="1000"]
Mini snow skin mooncakes from Mandarin Orchard[/caption]
Mandarin Orchard‘s range of Mini Snow Skin Mooncakes includes two boozy flavours – Lychee Martini And Chocolate, and Red Wine Cranberry Paste With Japanese Yuzu and Lemongrass.
The Lychee Martini And Chocolate Mooncake releases a burst of crisp, citrusy chocolate into your mouth with every bite, while the Red Wine Cranberry Paste With Japanese Yuzu and Lemongrass Mooncake leaves a lasting impression as each mouthful reveals yet another layer of subtle flavour.
Mandarin Orchard Singapore Ain’t nobody got time for old school mooncakes when there are alcoholic snow skin mooncakes to be eaten. Grand Hyatt is adding a new creation to their growing list of alcohol infused mooncakes: Violette & Gin, which comes infused with Tanquert No. Ten Gin and a crème de violette liquor for a delicate, floral twist. Another must-try is the Strawberry-Lime-Tequila Truffle, a fruity yet intense mooncake with a kick. Their snow skin mooncakes are available at $69 for a box of eight. Grand Hyatt Singapore Can a person get drunk on mooncakes? Probably not. But that’s not going to stop us from trying all the alcoholic mooncakes out there. Bakerzin‘s Prestige Collection ($56) will make your inner alcoholic rejoice, with four different spirits to try. Each box comes with two pieces each of Apple Vodka Snow Skin, Butterscotch Baileys Snow Skin, Coconut Liqueur Snow Skin, and Latte Kahlua Snow Skin mooncakes. You won’t even know where to start! Bakerzin Old Seng Choong may be well-known for its old school bakes and cakes, but head pastry chef, Daniel Tay, definitely knows how to take things up a notch.

Website4. Old Seng Choong – Cranberries With Choya
Alcohol heaven with the Four Heavenly Beauties (Image Credit: Besides the usual mooncakes, Old Seng Choong wants you to meet the Four Heavenly Beauties ($60.80), a quartet of snow skin mooncakes that will stimulate your senses. The flavours are Cranberries with Choya, Passionfruit with Martini Mint, Coffee with Whisky, and Chocolate Rum, all of which are as aromatic as they are flavourful.
Old Seng Choong While it seems like everyone is trying to one up each other in terms of who can come up with the most outrageous, most unexpected mooncake filling, we think Shangri-La‘s ones take the cake.

5. Shangri-La – Yuzu Bird’s Nest
(Image Credit: Shangri-La’s latest Mini Snow Skin Eight Treasures ($88) features two new flavours.
The first is the more typical Chocolate Salted Toffee, which comes encased in a layer of crisp milk chocolate – perfect for sweet tooths. The other is a more luxurious and interesting blend of Yuzu Bird’s Nest that is both tangy and sweet. Who knew bird’s nest would go well with a mooncake?
Shangri-La Singapore If you love bubble tea and have $17.20 to spare, try The Pine Garden‘s Pearl Milk Tea Snow Skin, which is infused with tea, and comes with bits of chewy boba. Yum!

7. Thye Moh Chan – Chef’s Private XO Recipe
Go old school, but with a twist with Thye Moh Chan‘s traditional Teochew-style mooncakes.
Teochew mooncakes typically see a sweet filling encased in a flaky crust pastry, unlike the baked skin mooncakes we typically see during mooncake festival.
[caption id="attachment_29507" align="aligncenter" width="1000"]
Thye Moh Chan’s secret recipe with XO sauce[/caption]
They come with various fillings, including an all-new Chef’s Private XO Recipe ($40.80 for four pieces), a Salty Tau Sar With Egg Yolk ($29.80 for four pieces) and the Teochew Mooncake ($18.80 for one piece), which uses a traditional recipe of maltose, citrus strips and five-spice powder.
Although we were at first unsure about how XO sauce would fare in a mooncake, the Chef’s Private XO Recipe completely won our hearts and was a favourite in the office! Unlike most of the mooncakes listed here, these ones lean towards the savoury side, with delicate hints of har cheong (shrimp paste) that is simply addicting.
Thye Moh Chan also has a Mao Shan Wang Durian mooncake ($40.80 for four pieces), which infuses durian and mung bean paste.
Thye Moh Chan It only makes sense for a bakery famous for its cheesecakes to create cheesecake-filled snow skin mooncakes – and they’re actually quite legit.

8. Cat & The Fiddle – Cream Cheese Mooncakes
Each mooncake comes with an adorable cat embossing (Image Credit: Cat & The Fiddle)[/caption]
The Cow Jumped Over The Moon-cake selection from Cat & The Fiddle features 4 different flavours filled with cream cheese and lotus paste.
The mooncakes come in a Blueberry Cream Cheese and Lotus Paste with White Chocolate and Dried Cranberry Truffle, an Oreo Cream Cheese and Lotus Paste with Dark Chocolate Truffle, a Strawberry Cream Cheese and Lotus Paste with Mint and White Chocolate Martini Truffle, and a Chocolate Cream Cheese and Lotus Paste with Orange Vodka and Dark Chocolate Truffle.

Want A Chance To Literally Eat Your Feelings? Shangri-La’s The Table Is Your Answer!
With the latest initiative by Shangri-La‘s Golden Circle – The Table, you can let a delish meal take you back to a particular moment in time you have once relished.
Eating your favourite food is a multi-sensorial experience that can evoke endless emotions and memories. We’re sure you feel the same with, for example, your childhood food. What do you feel now that you are thinking of it?
The Table
Recognising the emotional experiences behind eating, The Table pushes the boundaries. Their
With The Table, you can literally eat according to your feelings, and to your whim and fancy!
Moods At The Table
Culinary choices are categorised under five moods (Elegant, Intimate, Upbeat, Chill, and Adventurous), and you can certainly trust that your desired dining experience will be met!
You can also filter through the various restaurant and bar options by curated experiences, local offers and member benefits!
Our Experience
We had the privilege of experiencing each curated mood with its accompanying dish and drink pairing. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect! We’ll only feature three of the five different moods we’ve tried.
We’ll only reveal the ‘mood’ of the dish at the end, let’s see if you can guess the dishes’ moods right!
#1
If you’re slightly more daring with your food, a fusion meal would definitely tickle your fancy.
Sea urchin crab chawanmushi topped with a chilli crab toast by Executive Chef Frederick Kho of Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore.
This tasty starter highlights the great flavours of the sea. The combination of local flavour from the chilli crab and the creaminess from the sea urchin over a chawanmushi bed certainly pleases the taste buds.
Mood?
The answer’s adventurous!
#2
On a date and want to impress your other half? You won’t go wrong with a classic dish of succulent steak and creamy foie gras!
Wagyu, foie gras, crushed potatoes, spinach by Executive Chef Franco Brodini of Shangri-La Hotel Singapore.
This dish was paired with an earthy glass of bordeaux, a quintessential steak wine.
Mood?
The answer’s elegant!
#3
Packaged oh-so-perfectly in a heart-shaped box topped with a striking red bow, this is certainly a romantic dessert!
Verbena, greens, buckwheat, lime caviar, white peach by Area Executive Pastry Chef Herve Potus.
The evening concluded with a beautiful landscape of sorbet lined with intricate clusters of verbena and greens. It was served on a paper thin layer of dark chocolate that provided a slightly bitter counter-balance of flavour.
Mood?
The answer’s intimate!
