Mid-autumn festival is approaching again! What mooncakes are you planning to get? Baked vs snow-skin mooncakes? For the past many years, my preference have always been to go for baked mooncakes. But recently, I discovered the yummilicious vegetarian snow-skin mooncakes from Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery, the largest Buddhist Monastery in Singapore. The prices are really reasonable too.
Prices for baked mooncakes range between $32 to $45 per box of 4 while for snow skin, the prices range from $38 to $40 per box of 4 or $30 per box of 8. This is probably one of the most pocket-friendly mooncakes that you can find in town these days. If box of 4 is too much, you can get them in single pieces, also at very reasonable prices.
The choice of mooncakes include:
- White Lotus Paste
- Red Lotus Paste
- Hawaii Nut White Lotus Paste
- Olive Seed Red Lotus Paste
- Green Tea Paste with Melon Seed*
- Coffee Paste with Melon Seed
- Mixed Nuts Paste
- Durian Snow Skin*
- Pandan Snow Skin
- Mint Paste Snow Skin*
* Recommended Flavours
(Durian Snowskin Mooncake)
The packaging boxes are nice and elegant-looking.
Sale of these vegetarian mooncakes are available from now until 8 September 2014 at the monastery's dining hall, between 9.30am to 3pm daily. For enquiries about the mooncakes, please call 6849 5300.

Hi, apologies for the delay in reply. The mooncake selection was quite the same for 2016. KMSPKS had a pop-up stall at Hougang Mall last year. Do keep a lookout from KMSPKS website for next year's mooncake selection and the mooncake sale venues!
