What exactly is the Mid-Autumn Festival?

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a popular celebration among Singaporeans. It's also known as the Mooncake Festival, and celebrated by many East and Southeast Asian people.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, on a full moon day, mooncakes are the food of choice on this holiday. These cakes are filled with sweet-tasting bean paste or with lotus seeds. But these days, chefs have put their own unique spin to create decadent mooncakes that leave many in awe.

Why you should start shopping for mooncakes now?

Despite the fact that it's not a recognized public holiday in Singapore, Singaporeans eat mooncakes together with their family, or present mooncakes to relatives and friends to express love and best wishes during the Mooncake Festival. I mean, with such intricate and elegant packaging, mooncakes are the perfect gift to express your gratitude.

Going to your in-laws (or future-in-laws) home soon? Score some brownie points (or should I say mooncake points) by gifting them a box of mooncakes.

You might be thinking "But...it's August." Well, as they say, "The early bird catches the worm." Buying your mooncakes now let's you enjoy awesome Early Bird prices before they're all jacked up when the official festival draws near. Besides, you don't want your favourite flavours to run out when you shop last minute, do you?

I'm convinced. Where should I buy my mooncakes?
