8 Places For Flaky Teochew Mooncakes In Singapore
There’s even a Dubai chocolate one
By Michelle Lee -
The season for mooncakes is rolling around, with the Mid-Autumn Festival falling on Oct 6, 2025. Most places in Singapore serve baked Cantonese-style and snowskin mooncakes (snag them at early bird prices with these mooncake promos!). But those with more traditional taste buds may prefer a third variant: Teochew mooncakes. Originating from Chaozhou, these are characterised by laboriously made spiral-shaped layers (hence also known as “thousand-layered" pastry) that are deep-fried to flaky perfection, often encasing yam or taro paste, and salted egg yolks. The mooncake also traditionally incorporates lard.
If you're longing for Teochew mooncakes or planning to delight your family with these treats, here are eight places to find them.
1. Paradise Group
Following its debut in 2018, Paradise Group has since made the Teochew Yam Pastry with Single Yolk a yearly offering due to popular demand. The mooncakes are made to order with no preservatives and come with a single salted egg yolk, as well as pine nuts and a base coated with white sesame seeds for an additional nutty fragrance. Pre-orders are required.
Citi, DBS/POSB Cardmembers, and PGR members enjoy exclusive discounts on Paradise Group’s mooncakes. From now to Aug 24, 2025, receive 15% off mooncakes. From Aug 25 to Oct 6, 2025, enjoy 10% off mooncakes.
$70.80 for a box of four. Pre-orders required. Visit participating outlets to order.
2. Hung Huat Cakes & Pastries
This small family-run bakery located in Sims Vista Food Market has been around since 1976, now run by third-generation owners. Known for a smattering of traditional pastries and kuehs, whether you’re up for a flaky wife biscuit or gula melaka huat kueh.
For the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, it has an inventive Handmade Pistachio Kunafa Teochew Mooncake ($68 for a box of four) that nods to the viral Dubai chocolate with dark chocolate paste enveloping a crispy pistachio kunafa core, wrapped in its signature Teochew crispy skin recipe. Or try the Teochew Crispy Black Sesame with Custard and Macadamia ($58 for a box of four). But if traditional confections are more your thing, then go for the Teochew Crispy Yam Mooncake ($50 without yolk, $58 with single yolk for a box of four).
Hung Huat Cakes & Pastries is at 49 Sims Vista #01-48. Closed on Mondays. Visit its website to order.
3. East Ocean Teochew Restaurant
Located in Takashimaya Shopping Centre, East Ocean Teochew Restaurant is best known for doling out authentic Teochew cuisine. And each year, you can look forward to its repertoire of mooncakes, from snowskin and baked creations to the Teochew-style Crispy Yam with Whole Egg Yolk. For smaller bites sans the egg yolk, it also has the Mini Crispy Yam, priced from $26.60 for four pieces (promo price).
The Crispy Yam with Whole Egg Yolk is priced from $31.50 for two pieces (promo price). Enjoy the 30 per cent early bird discount till Sep 7, 2025. Visit East Ocean Teochew Restaurant's website to order or for more information.
4. Ju Signatures
One of Ju Signatures' signature items is the orh nee tart. So it's hardly surprising to find it given a mooncake makeover when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes around. Created by master chef Wong Kok Syong, the Teochew mooncakes are available in a box of four assorted flavours. These include Pumpkin Orh Nee and Pure Orh Nee Single Yolk. There are also two salted egg lava creations: Salted Egg Lava Purple Sweet Potato and Salted Egg Lava Orh Nee.

5. La Levain
Tradition meets contemporary flavours with La Levain's Mid-Autumn confections. Meticulously crafted by executive chef and baker Wythe Soon, the Teochew mooncakes here are baked, not fried, with premium Lescure butter for delicate, buttery layers. And you can dive into three interesting flavours: the Molten Salted Egg Teochew Mooncake, the Bobochacha Mochi Teochew Mooncake (this has a rich taro pumpkin almond cream and stretchy coconut mochi encased within sweet potato paste), and a Black Sesame Latte Teochew Mooncake.
$62.80 for a box of six (promo price). Visit La Levain's website to order or for more information.
6. Delcie's Desserts
If you're looking for a healthier spin on mooncakes, look to Delcie's Desserts, which has dairy-free, vegan, and diabetic-friendly options. Among them is a flaky Teochew-style spiral mooncake that houses a pandan lotus filling with a nourishing blend of peach gum and snow fungus. It's also vegan and free of cane sugar.

7. Peony Jade
The Cantonese restaurant is back with its mooncake selection and has Teochew mooncakes that'll appeal to purists and those with adventurous tastebuds alike.
For those who favour classic mooncakes, try the Teochew Flaky ‘Orh Ni’ confection (from $68 for four, promo price), available in variations with pumpkin, salted egg yolk, or a combination of both. Love novel flavours? Go for the limited edition Flaky Teochew ‘Orh Ni’/Yam with Mochi Taro de Lave Salted Pistachio Diplomat and Crunchy Feuilletine mooncake or Signature “Flaky Mochi Taro de Lave Cha Cha, Bubur Cha Cha Teochew Flaky ‘Orh Ni’/Yam Mooncake, a returning favourite that was launched in 2020. Both are priced at $60 for two pieces.

8. The Pine Garden
Think Nyonya dumpling, but in a mooncake. Heartland bakery stalwart Pine Garden has a Crispy Skin White Lotus Paste with Nonya Filling Mooncake (from $ 20.48 per piece) that puts a Peranakan twist on the mooncake. Wrapped in a flaky spiral crust, it features white lotus paste surrounding a savoury Nyonya-style filling — a nod to Singapore’s rich Peranakan heritage.
