What is the difference between a snow skin mooncake and a traditional baked one?
A traditional baked mooncake has a baked pastry skin wrapped around a dense sweet filling and keeps at room temperature. A snow skin mooncake is not baked at all. Its casing is a soft, chilled, mochi-like skin, so it is served cold and needs to be kept refrigerated. La Levain’s 2026 collection is entirely baked: flaky spiral Teochew mooncakes made with premium French butter, Traditional Cantonese mooncakes with pure white lotus paste, and Momoyama Cantonese mooncakes in flavours such as Chocolate Lotus with Pistachio Crunch. We are not making snow skin mooncakes this year.
How much do mooncakes cost in Singapore?
La Levain’s 2026 mooncake boxes run from $58 to $112 before seasonal promotions, and the current price for each box is shown on the Mid-Autumn Mooncakes page. Boxes range from two pieces up to eight, so the price reflects both how many mooncakes are in the box and the packaging it comes in. Delivery is free on orders above $120.
When is the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2026?
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Friday 25 September 2026. It is held on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, which is why the date moves each year. Mooncakes are given and eaten in the weeks leading up to it, and La Levain’s 2026 collection is available to order now for delivery or collection.
What is a Teochew mooncake?
A Teochew mooncake is the flaky-pastry style of the Mid-Autumn Festival: thin, spiralled layers wrapped around a soft paste, quite different from the dense baked skin of a Cantonese mooncake. Most Teochew mooncakes in Singapore are deep-fried. La Levain’s are baked, which keeps the layers light and crisp rather than oily. Our 2026 Teochew range comes in three flavours, salted egg, black sesame Hokkaido milk with mochi, and our BoboChaCha signature, in a three-piece or six-piece box.
How long do La Levain mooncakes last?
Momoyama and Traditional Cantonese mooncakes keep for 3 months. Baked Flaky Spiral Teochew mooncakes keep for 1 month. Both are stated from the date you receive them.
How should I store my mooncakes?
Store mooncakes at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight — they don’t need refrigerating Teochew mooncakes can also be frozen at −12°C within one day of receiving them, and keep for up to 21 days that way.
Can I reheat Teochew mooncakes?
Yes. Reheat at 160°C for 5–8 minutes from room temperature, or 8–10 minutes from frozen.
