This is one of the best low-sugar mooncakes in Singapore this 2024 that pays ode to local flavours while managing to strike a healthy balance. The single yolk is also good news for those keeping tabs on their cholesterol levels. Instead of being fried, this mooncake with less sugar has been baked.

At the same time, cop some of their Red Bean Pandan Mooncakes (also available on Peach Garden Official Store). It’s their newest addition to their longstanding series of mooncakes.

It’s not always 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. But ChangHoSek proves to deliver with their Snowskin Mooncakes Combo (available on ChangHoSek Official Store) that features the Cheng Tng flavour and the Momo Oolong with Chrysanthemum Truffle. These less-sweet mooncakes are so good simply because they leverage the natural sweetness in certain ingredients. For instance, the Cheng Tng mooncake is filled with red date paste. Peppered with dried longan pieces, you’ll have a naturally sweet dessert in the form of a mooncake! These mooncakes also make the perfect gift since they come delivered in an intricate batik-printed tin – great way to impress your in-laws!

How healthy are mooncakes?

These sweet treats may not cause a lot of harm but it’s always wise to remember that moderation is key! Among all the carbohydrates and fats, each mooncake actually contains tons of sugar. According to the Singapore Health Promotion Board, a baked lotus seed paste mooncake is actually about 700 calories, which is similar to a plate of char kway teow. And if you have one with a yolk, that’s almost 800 calories, making it equal to four slices of pizza. This is why there are healthier alternatives available! With reduced sugar content and soybean yolks, you can now find the best low-sugar mooncakes in Singapore this 2024.
