In Singapore, there’s durian season, and then there’s mooncake season. But if Hannah Montana taught us anything when we were younger, it’s that we can truly get the best of both worlds.
If you’re over lotus paste and gunning for durian mooncakes this mid-autumn season, here are 13 places that will have all your D24 and Mao Shan Wang cravings sorted.

Durians and mooncakes are considered “rich” food, and if you believe in the saying that you are what you eat, then Golden Moments range of durian-flavoured mooncakes will be right up your alley.
For starters, their limited edition 24K Truffle Mao Shan Wang Snowskin Mooncake ($799.20, U.P. $888) is not only accentuated with truffle paste and oil, but also comes with gold foil and a real pure gold plate designed by SK Jewellery. It’ll definitely leave a lasting impression as a gift – whether it’s for that business partner to clinch a pending contract, or hard-to-please in-laws.
If you don’t need all that 24k magic in the air, their Signature Mao Shan Wang (U.P. $216) and new Docello Hazelnut Chocolate Mao Shan Wang (U.P. $216) flavour each come in a box of 4 pieces, and will satiate durian lovers with creamy 100% pure durian filling. Plus, they’re now on offer at $108 with a 1-for-1 deal until 6th September 2020.

Durian mooncakes can make you full fast, which is why enjoying them in smaller doses is the way to go. Durian Hill’s Moonlite Series Musang King Durian Mooncakes ($101.37, U.P. $109) are perfect for this, since they come in a box of 8 and can be popped into the mouth at one go. The charcoal bamboo outer skin also adds a complementary texture to the durian filling.
They’ve also got a cheaper Snowy Premium alternative retailing at $73.47 (U.P. $79). The brand is originally from Malaysia, but they’re now exclusively available online from Shopee.

Mooncakes are usually available to sample and purchase at fairs and roadshows in malls. But with safe distancing in mind, these are unlikely to happen this year. One avenue you can get your durian mooncakes conveniently from instead? 7-Eleven.
Yup, the convenience store is introducing their very own durian mooncakes with 3 options available – Mao Shan Wang, D24 and Red Prawn. For a box of 4 pieces, the latter 2 flavours are priced at $68, while the MSW mooncakes cost $75. To try all the varieties, get a mixed box for $72.
They’re not available at just any 7-Eleven though – 25 outlets around Singapore will carry these exclusive mooncakes.

Packaged in a box of 4 mooncakes, you can opt for a single flavour, or mix and match 2 of each.
From now till 15th September 2020, it’s going for an early bird price of $78 (U.P. $88) and you can even top up just $10 or $20 to throw in 2 or 4 bags of their signature truffle chips into the mix too!
