3. Emicakes
Experience the crunchiness of the nuts and seeds
We already know Emicakes has some of the best cakes in Singapore, but did you know that their mooncakes are just as popular? These White Lotus with Melon Seeds Baked Skin Mooncake ($38) are made with low sugar lotus paste and have added melon seeds for that crunchy texture. The contrasting texture complements the velvety smooth and flavourful lotus paste, creating a mooncake that has those traditional flavours and aromas as your regular ol’ mooncake, but without all that sugar! Not into melon seeds? Their classic White Lotus with Single Yolk Baked Mooncake ($45) has a savoury bite from the salted egg yolk centre, which gives it a great contrast to the low sugar lotus filling!

If you’re looking for healthy mooncakes in Singapore, My Mum’s Cookies has one of the best! Their Mao Shan Wang Durian Mooncake ($53.80) filling is made with 100% premium durian flesh, and has no added sugar, no preservatives, and no cream or fillers. Even the blue hue of its snowskin is natural, as this best durian mooncake uses butterfly blue pea flowers instead of food colouring. They’re the best low-sugar mooncakes in Singapore, where you don’t have to compromise on the flavour of the King of Fruits. This mooncake is also vegan as vegetable oil is used instead of lard in its filling. It’s halal-certified too, so everyone can enjoy these festive treats!

6. JEN by Shangri-La
Fragrant pastry crust with generous fillings
Shangri-La’s mooncake sets are among the most coveted during Mid-Autumn. I even try to snag a set or two every year!

Made by experienced Chinese chefs at the hotel’s Shang Palace, your taste buds will be engulfed by the smooth and delicious flavours of the white lotus seed paste!

7. Mdm Ling Bakery Official Store
Modern flavours that aren’t cloyingly sweet
It’s not always that you’ll get to find low-sugar snowskin mooncakes. That’s usually because the snowskin variation of these traditional treats typically requires some sugar to achieve that flavourful mochi-like skin. That’s why Mdm Ling Bakery created some of the best low-sugar mooncakes in Singapore that still yield a chewy, mildly sweet snowskin with contemporary flavours like Truffle Popping Candy and Truffle Muscat Sencha. They even have a Truffle Pistachio Kunafa Snowskin Mooncake, which is a twist on the viral “Dubai chocolate.” Best of all, you can get all these flavours in their Moonlit Serenity Snowskin Mooncake Tin ($84), so you can enjoy these luscious (and halal) snacks in time for Mid-Autumn 2025!
Delivery dates: 8 – 12, 15 – 19, 22 -26 September 2025, 11am – 7pm
8. August Signature
Crispy, flaky, Teochew mooncakes
The sweetened yam paste in traditional Teochew mooncakes is typically laden with sugar, which is why I’m glad to know August Signature makes a healthier version of this flaky pastry. Made with less sugar, their The Teochew Clan Mooncakes ($68) features four flavours of their Teochew mooncakes: White Lotus with Yolk, Pandan with Yolk, Black Sesame Mochi, and Tiramisu Mochi. In fact, they’re a great place to get yam mooncakes for Mid-Autumn! These flavours blend tradition and trend without being cloyingly sweet, making them some of the best low-sugar mooncakes in Singapore for 2025.

1 – 2, 4 – 5 October 2025
9. Baker’s Oven
Halal-certified mooncakes with reduced sugar
While lotus paste is the OG mooncake filling, it’s also one of the flavours that contains the highest amount of calories. According to the Singapore Health Promotion Board, a baked lotus seed paste mooncake is actually about 700 calories (that’s almost the same as a plate of char kway teow)! Baker’s Oven offers a healthier version of this classic flavour with their Low Sugar Pure White Lotus with Single Yolk and Melon Seeds ($80). Apart from being low in sugar, these mooncakes are also vegetarian-friendly and halal, featuring a silky-smooth lotus paste, savoury salted egg yolk, and a fragrant pastry skin that lets you enjoy the taste of a traditional mooncake without the full calories! And, if you’re looking for something with a bit more variety, their Emperor Assortment ($85) includes a little bit of everything.
Delivery dates:
23 August – 4 October 2025*, 2pm – 6pm
*Mondays – Saturdays only

I don’t know about you, but nothing pairs better with mooncakes and tea than some smoky bak kwa!
