Most Popular Types of Mooncakes in Singapore
Mooncakes come in a wide variety of types, each with its unique flavors, fillings, and regional variations. Here are some of the most popular types of mooncakes in Singapore.
1. Traditional Mooncakes - Cantonese Mooncakes
These are the classic mooncakes with a thin pastry crust and various traditional fillings like lotus seed paste, red bean paste, or mixed nuts. The crusts of these mooncakes are usually shiny with thick fillings and they taste soft and smooth. They often contain whole salted egg yolks, representing the full moon.
2. Teochew Mooncakes
Teochew mooncakes have a crispy, spiral-layered crust that crumbles easily. These are usually filled with yam, red bean, lotus seed, or mung bean paste.
3. Hokkien Mooncakes
Hokkien mooncakes are usually decorated with a red stamp of chinese characters on top of the crust. They contain a sweet filling that is made of candied winter melon, tangerine peel, melon seeds, and sugar. Alternatively, there is a savoury version with minced meat filling.
4. Snowskin Mooncakes
Unlike traditional mooncakes, snowskin mooncakes have a soft, slightly chewy skin made from glutinous rice flour. They are typically consumed cold and come in a range of flavours, including fruity and creamy fillings like durian, chocolate, matcha, and even alcohol flavoured.
5. Ice Cream Mooncakes
A modern twist on the traditional mooncake, ice cream mooncakes consist of an ice cream filling encased in a soft pastry crust or snowskin. They are popular for their refreshing taste.
