Mid-Autumn Festival is usually associated with mooncakes, lanterns and family gatherings, but this year there is another festive treat worth adding to the snack list. Old Chang Kee is giving its familiar pastry selection a seasonal twist with the launch of its NEW Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O .

Available from 1 to 30 September 2026, this limited-time creation combines several flavours and textures that Singapore snack lovers will probably recognise straight away: creamy taro, savoury salted egg yolk and chewy mochi. Instead of going down the traditional mooncake route, Old Chang Kee has packed these festive flavours into a flower-shaped puff pastry that is crispy on the outside and soft, creamy and stretchy inside.

For anyone who enjoys trying limited-edition food launches, this is one seasonal snack worth keeping an eye out for in September.

The Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O is priced at $3.80 for one piece, while a two-piece promotion costs $6.80. That means the two-piece option works out to $3.40 per piece, giving shoppers a small saving compared with buying two individually priced pieces. It could be a convenient choice for sharing, or simply for anyone who already knows that one piece probably will not be enough.

A Different Take On Mid-Autumn Flavours

The interesting thing about this new Old Chang Kee creation is the combination of flavours. Taro and salted egg are both familiar favourites in Singapore, but adding mochi into a crispy puff pastry gives the combination a different character.

The pastry itself is designed in a delicate flower shape, with a golden, crispy exterior. The festive presentation is completed with a red Chinese character “福” stamp on top, representing good fortune and adding a traditional touch to the modern snack.

Cut into the pastry and there is quite a lot happening inside. A layer of smooth purple taro paste forms the outer filling, followed by a generous portion of soft, stretchy white mochi. At the centre, salted egg yolks provide the savoury element.

This means every bite is not simply sweet. There is the gentle sweetness and creamy texture of taro, the rich savoury taste of salted egg and the unmistakable chewiness of mochi. Combined with the crisp pastry shell, the result sounds like the kind of snack that offers something different with every bite.

It is also the sort of festive food that may appeal to people who enjoy mooncake flavours but do not necessarily want a conventional mooncake.

How Much Does The Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O Cost?

The pricing is straightforward, making it easy to pick up a piece during a regular Old Chang Kee visit.

The Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O costs $3.80 for one, while two pieces are available for $6.80.

If buying two, the bundle saves $0.80 compared with paying $3.80 each. The effective price is $3.40 per piece, which makes the two-piece option the better-value choice for those planning to share or buy more than one.

Of course, whether one or two pieces makes more sense depends on how many people are buying. Someone simply looking for an afternoon snack may prefer one, while two pieces could work nicely when bringing a small treat home for a family member or friend.

Since this is a seasonal launch, it may also be worth checking availability earlier in the day rather than waiting until the end of the promotion period.

Available At Old Chang Kee Outlets

One of the more convenient parts of this promotion is that there is no need to travel to a particular shopping centre or special event location.

The Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O is available at all Old Chang Kee store locations in Singapore from 1 September until 30 September 2026, subject to stocks being available.

That makes it relatively easy to include in an existing trip. Whether someone is heading out for lunch, picking up snacks after work, shopping at a nearby mall or simply passing an Old Chang Kee outlet, the new pastry can be ordered directly over the counter.

There is also no complicated redemption process involved. Shoppers simply walk into an outlet and ask for the new Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O.

For a food promotion, that simplicity is always welcome. There are no special registration steps or complicated mechanics to remember.

Why Should You Try This Mid-Autumn Promotion?

There are plenty of festive food choices available during the Mid-Autumn season, so what makes this one worth trying?

For starters, it offers a nice alternative to the usual mooncake. Traditional mooncakes can be rich and filling, whereas this puff takes some familiar festive flavours and presents them in a smaller snack format.

The combination is also particularly interesting for anyone who enjoys taro and salted egg. Taro brings a smooth, creamy sweetness, while salted egg yolk gives the centre a richer and savoury kick. The mochi then adds another texture that makes the pastry more fun to eat.

That contrast between crispy pastry, creamy taro, stretchy mochi and savoury salted egg is probably the biggest reason to give it a try.

There is also the limited-time factor. The Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O is not positioned as a permanent menu item, with the promotion running only throughout September. Once the promotion ends on 30 September, shoppers will no longer be able to pick it up as part of this particular seasonal launch.

That makes September a good time to try it, especially for those who enjoy checking out new festive food whenever Mid-Autumn Festival comes around.

A Snack For Sharing Or Keeping For Yourself

Although Mid-Autumn Festival is traditionally about spending time with family and friends, there is certainly no rule saying a festive snack has to be shared.

A couple of Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O could make a simple addition to a family gathering, an afternoon tea break or a casual snack session. The $6.80 two-piece option also makes sharing easier without having to commit to a large box of pastries.

On the other hand, buying one for $3.80 is a straightforward way to try the new flavour without spending too much. If it turns out to be a favourite, a second visit can always follow.

The smaller format also makes it more approachable for people who want to sample something festive without buying an entire box of traditional mooncakes.

Remember That Stocks Are Limited

There is one important point to remember before making a special trip. The Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O is available while stocks last.

Although the official promotion period runs from 1 to 30 September 2026, availability may depend on individual outlet stock. As with many seasonal food launches, waiting until the final few days could mean missing out if supplies have already run low.

For those who are particularly interested in trying the combination of taro, salted egg and mochi, visiting earlier in the promotion period would be the safer option.

Overall, Old Chang Kee’s Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O looks like an interesting way to enjoy the flavours of Mid-Autumn Festival without sticking to the usual mooncake format. At $3.80 for one or $6.80 for two, it is also an accessible treat to pick up during a normal day out.

So, if a crispy puff filled with creamy taro, stretchy mochi and savoury salted egg sounds tempting, September is the time to look out for it. Head to the nearest Old Chang Kee outlet, try the new festive creation and see whether this modern take on Mid-Autumn flavours becomes a new favourite.

Just remember that the promotion is available for a limited period and while stocks last, so those who want to try it should not leave the visit until the last minute.
