Where To Get Low-Sugar Mooncakes Mum Would Approve Of
"Not too sweet" is the ultimate Asian dessert compliment
By Ho Guo Xiong and Michelle Lee -
Mooncakes are a delicacy many of us look forward to enjoying once a year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on Oct 6, 2025. Whether you enjoy the traditional baked version or the ingenuity of flavours that accompany the softer snowskin type, mooncakes are undeniably a dessert we find hard to resist. Yet, mooncakes aren't that great health-wise. Each of them is calorie-laden with sugar and oils and doesn't provide much in terms of nutrients. While we don’t have the sugar content of these mooncakes, these are claimed to be “low sugar” or “reduced sugar”, or are made without cane sugar, if you're looking to get your mooncake fix sans the usual sweetness. That being said, most mooncakes are still calorie bombs and high in fat, so enjoy them in moderation!
