La LevainMid-Autumn 2026

The Story Behind Our Mooncakes

Global inspirations. Unforgettable flavours. Made in Singapore.

The thinking, the ingredients and the craft behind every flavour this Mid-Autumn.

Our approach

Global ingredients, local heart. We bring in the world's finest, from Uji matcha to French butter, and pair them with the flavours Singapore grew up loving. Everything's cooked in-house, and because Chef Wythe trained as a food scientist, every flavour is balanced with real precision.

The brand story

La Levain invites you to experience mooncakes like never before. Every artisan mooncake is made in our own kitchen in Singapore with premium ingredients, and carries Chef Wythe's bold creativity and deliberate, meticulous craftsmanship. When regular yuzu proved too weak against Uji matcha, it became Valrhona yuzu chocolate. That's the standard we hold every flavour to.

Made in Singapore

Everything is made in our own kitchen here in Singapore, never outsourced. Global inspirations, cooked at home.

Sourced from around the world

We bring in the finest ingredients from around the globe. Uji matcha, Valrhona chocolate, Illy coffee, Elle & Vire butter, Hokkaido milk. Every bite should be an exquisite experience.

Made with health in mind

Deliberate choices, not accidents. Our Momoyama skin is lower in sugar, and our Teochew mooncakes are baked, never deep fried, so they're less oily than the traditional way.

Hand-formed, one by one

These are a labour of love. Each mooncake is shaped by hand, and that intricate manual craftsmanship is what makes every piece one of a kind.

No one misses out

Vegetarian friendly options are available, so everyone at the table gets to celebrate.

The box matches what's inside

The elegant packaging reflects the premium quality of the mooncakes it holds, and adds an extra touch of sophistication to the gift.

We're redefining what Mid-Autumn can taste like.

Traditional Cantonese Mooncake

The classics, made properly
The Traditional Cantonese mooncake range
Our traditional Cantonese mooncakes keep to the classics. A dense, fragrant lotus paste made the old way with peanut oil, and flavours we've chosen to respect rather than reinvent. Where we make the difference is in the quality of what goes in, like aged Xinhui chenpi and culinary-grade matcha. A few of these we leave entirely untouched, exactly as they should be.
Red Bean with Mandarin Peel and Matcha Lotus mooncake
Flavour 1

Red Bean with Mandarin Peel & Matcha Lotus

Two pastes in one mooncake. Red bean is slow-cooked together with mandarin peel until it turns deeply fragrant, alongside matcha folded through lotus paste.

  • Red bean paste is cooked together with the mandarin peel.
  • The longer it cooks, the more fragrant it becomes.
  • We use aged Xinhui chenpi (新会陈皮), at least five years old. Xinhui peel is the most prized of all mandarin peel, and the older it gets the more precious it becomes. There's a well-known Cantonese saying that good aged chenpi is worth its weight in gold.
  • The matcha side is culinary-grade matcha cooked with lotus paste.
Weight: 185g Non-Halal

Ingredients: Red Bean Paste (Red Bean, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Water), Cantonese Dough (Wheat Flour, Sugar Syrup [Sugar, Water], Peanut Oil, Alkaline Water [Water, Potassium Carbonate]), Matcha Lotus Paste (Lotus Paste, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Matcha Powder [Green Tea], Water), Orange Peel.

White Lotus with Lemon Peel and Macadamia mooncake
Flavour 2

Pure White Lotus with Lemon Peel & Macadamia

Inspired by Chef Wythe's favourite sweet, the Italian lemon candy. Because a mooncake is already sweet on its own, he added lemon peel to lift and balance it.

  • Inspired by Chef Wythe's favourite candy, the Italian lemon candy.
  • Since the mooncake already carries sweetness, he chose to add lemon peel.
  • Macadamia was added to improve the texture.
Weight: 185g Non-Halal

Ingredients: Lotus Paste (Lotus Seed, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Water), Dough (Wheat Flour, Sugar Syrup, Peanut Oil, Alkaline Water), Macadamia Nuts, Lemon Peel.

White Lotus with Melon Seeds mooncake

Pure White Lotus with Melon Seeds

Weight: 185g Non-Halal

Ingredients: Lotus Paste (Lotus Seed, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Water), Cantonese Dough (Wheat Flour, Sugar Syrup [Sugar, Water], Peanut Oil, Alkaline Water [Water, Potassium Carbonate]), Melon Seeds.

Momoyama Cantonese Mooncake

Modern and fusion, the La Levain spirit
The Momoyama Cantonese mooncake range
When La Levain started making mooncakes, we wanted a range that showed off the brand's modern, fusion character, so we chose to work with Momoyama skin. Momoyama lets the skin take on colour from natural ingredients, instead of the baked brown skin you find on traditional mooncakes. It is also lower in sugar. For 2026 the range welcomes two new flavours: Chocolate Lotus with Pistachio Crunch, and Mixed Berry Lotus with Raspberry Rose.
White Lotus with Salted Egg Yolk mooncake
Flavour 1

Pure White Lotus with Salted Egg Yolk

The classic, traditional flavour, presented in La Levain's Momoyama skin.

Weight: 185g Non-Halal

Ingredients: Lotus Paste, Maruchi Dough, Salted Egg Yolk, Melon Seeds, Orange Colouring.

Uji Matcha White Lotus with Valrhona Yuzu mooncake
Flavour 2

Uji Matcha White Lotus with Valrhona Yuzu Chocolate

A pairing of complementary Japanese flavours that balance each other perfectly. The bright, zesty tartness of yuzu cuts through the rich, earthy, umami bitterness of green tea, for a refreshing and multi-dimensional flavour.

  • Ceremonial-grade Uji matcha powder is used to make the mooncake skin.
  • The paste is culinary-grade matcha lotus paste.
  • Chef Wythe first experimented with regular yuzu, but the flavour didn't come through as strongly as he wanted, so he chose Valrhona yuzu chocolate instead.
  • Choosing Valrhona also reflects a real side of La Levain. We're used to working with French chocolate, and Valrhona yuzu is known for its high quality flavour. It lets the matcha come through while making the yuzu more pronounced.
Weight: 185g Non-Halal

Ingredients: Matcha Lotus Paste, Maruchi Dough, Grapefruit Filling, White Lotus Paste, Valrhona Yuzu Inspiration, Matcha Powder, Green Colouring.

Chocolate Lotus with Pistachio Crunch mooncake
Flavour 3New for 2026

Chocolate Lotus with Pistachio Crunch

Inspired by the famous, viral pistachio kunafa creations, rebuilt so it keeps well in a mooncake.

  • Chef Wythe was inspired by the viral, famous pistachio kunafa creations.
  • He tried making it with kunafa, but found the kunafa would turn rancid, so he broke it down and used pistachio paste with pistachio nut instead, with pistachios sourced from around the world.
  • It is paired with chocolate lotus paste made using Belgian chocolate.
  • Belgian chocolate is used because it cooks better with the lotus paste than regular chocolate.
Weight: 185g Non-Halal

Ingredients: Chocolate Lotus Paste, Maruchi Dough, White Lotus Paste, Caravels Crunch Pistachio, Roasted Pistachio Paste, Black Colouring.

Mixed Berry Lotus with Raspberry Rose mooncake
Flavour 4New for 2026

Mixed Berry Lotus with Raspberry Rose

This year's concept carries floral elements, so Chef Wythe wanted to experiment with a floral flavour. The flower he chose was rose. Mooncakes are usually sweet, and Chef leans towards sour profiles and raspberry, so he paired the rose with freeze-dried raspberry.

  • The floral note chosen was rose.
  • He paired the rose paste with freeze-dried raspberry for a sour lift.
  • Rose syrup is used for the rose flavour.
  • The mixed-berry lotus paste is blended with mixed berries (strawberry, blueberry, mulberry, raspberry and others).
Weight: 185g Non-Halal

Ingredients: Lotus Paste, Maruchi Dough, Raspberry Rose Paste, Dried Raspberry, Mixed Berry Paste, Strawberry Paste, Black Tea, Colouring.

Mini Momoyama Cantonese Mooncake

Made for the new generation
The Mini Momoyama mooncake range
The mini range is made for the new generation. It lets them enjoy mooncakes without committing to a big appetite, which is ideal for first-timers and newcomers. Full-size mooncakes can be hard for this generation to finish, so smaller is better for eating, sharing and gifting. Mooncakes today carry a lot of modern influence, and at La Levain we always look at what people want, what they like and which flavours are popular, so we can create something suited to this generation. It is also a way for us to express our creativity and experiment with interesting flavour combinations.
Mango Pomelo with Grapefruit mooncake

Mango Pomelo with Grapefruit

Built around mango pomelo, one of Singapore's favourite desserts, with an abundance of mango and pomelo flavour.

  • It's a Mango Pomelo Lotus mooncake.
  • Mango pomelo is one of Singaporeans' favourite desserts.
  • The base is a mango pomelo lotus paste, made with Aiwen mango from Taiwan, the most popular mango in Taiwan, also known as Irwin or apple mango.
  • The pomelo is candied pomelo zest.
  • It also includes grapefruit paste with candied grapefruit, and dried mango chunks.

Ingredients: Maruchi Dough, Mango Pomelo Paste, Grapefruit Paste, White Lotus, Mango Peel, Peanut Oil, Yellow Colouring.

Peach Jasmine Oolong mooncake
Flavour 2

Peach Jasmine Oolong

The most complicated, and most special, flavour of the range. La Levain has experimented with many tea-flavoured mooncakes over the years and it has always been challenging, but this year the combination finally worked. The taste is balanced at last, not too sour from the peach and not bitter from the tea.

  • It's a Jasmine Oolong Lotus / Oolong Lotus mooncake with candied white peach.
  • Two types of lotus paste are used to show the distinct colours: oolong tea lotus paste, and an oolong-and-jasmine tea lotus paste.
  • Finished with candied white peach.
Weight: 70g Non-Halal

Ingredients: Maruchi Dough, Jasmine Oolong Paste, Peach Oolong Paste, Peanut Oil, Yellow Colouring.

Illy Coffee Lava mooncake
Flavour 3

Illy Coffee Lava

Chef Wythe has always wanted to make a lava-series mooncake, and this year he decided to try it with coffee. Illy was chosen because it showcases the La Levain spirit and our fusion values.

  • Usually, lotus paste with coffee ends up tasting very similar to Singapore coffee candy.
  • To bring out a different taste, 100% Arabica bean powder from Illy was used.
  • The coffee lava centre is also made with Illy coffee.
Weight: 70g Non-Halal

Ingredients: Coffee Lotus Paste, Maruchi Dough, Salted Egg Lava, Coffee Emolco, Peanut Oil, Brown Colouring.

Fleur de Cao mooncake
Flavour 4

Teochew Mooncake

Flaky, buttery, hand-folded crust
The Teochew mooncake range

Our Teochew mooncakes are baked, not fried the way they are made traditionally, which keeps them less oily.

They are the most labour-intensive mooncakes we make. The crust takes many careful folds and a great deal of shaping, all done in a temperature-controlled environment so the butter never melts along the way. The butter has to stay firm, because that is what gives the layers their flaky, never brittle texture. It calls for precise measurements, speed and a lot of handwork, which is the reason not many brands make them.

For the crust we use Elle & Vire butter, a French butter churned slowly in Normandy by master butter-makers, the benchmark that chefs the world over reach for, prized for its rich, creamy texture.

Teochew Salted Egg mooncake

Teochew Salted Egg

The traditional flavour, in a Teochew skin.

A note on our lotus paste

We use a different lotus paste for each type of mooncake. The traditional range keeps its traditions, while the Momoyama range was free to experiment.

Traditional Cantonese

A very traditional lotus paste. Dense, and fragrant from peanut oil.

Momoyama Cantonese

A modernised paste, experimented with while the traditional range keeps its traditions. It is cooked together with lotus plumule, which gives it an earthy, floral note and lets us use less peanut oil.

Lotus plumule, the green embryo inside the lotus seed

Lotus plumule (Lian Zi Xin / 莲子心)

The tiny green embryo found inside the lotus seed, known for its intensely bitter taste. It is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to calm the mind, clear excess heat from the body and promote restful sleep. It carries the natural, pure taste and fragrance of lotus and needs less peanut oil than traditional paste, giving an earthy, floral note. Paired with mooncakes, which are usually sweet, it sits beautifully and keeps them from being too sweet.
