Mid-Autumn Festival is always a good excuse to look for something a little different from the usual festive treats. While mooncakes and traditional goodies will naturally take centre stage during this season, Old Chang Kee Singapore is giving its familiar savoury puff a rather unexpected twist. This September, shoppers can look out for a brand-new creation that combines salted egg, taro and mochi in one bite.
The new Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O launches from 1 September 2026 and will be available for a limited time at Old Chang Kee outlets across Singapore. Priced from just $3.80 for one, it is an interesting festive snack for anyone who enjoys trying new flavours without having to spend too much.
For those who have not heard of it yet, the Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O takes inspiration from familiar local flavours and gives them a chewy update. Instead of simply sticking to the usual puff filling, Old Chang Kee has brought together savoury salted egg, creamy taro and a soft mochi centre. The result is designed to offer a combination of sweet, savoury and chewy textures in one snack.
The puff itself comes in a delicate flower-inspired shape, making it look rather different from some of the everyday snacks commonly found at Old Chang Kee. Once bitten into, the pastry gives way to its filling, with the salted egg and taro bringing contrasting flavours while the mochi adds that soft and stretchy texture.
For fans of mochi, this could be the part that makes the new item particularly tempting. Mochi has become increasingly popular in Singapore, appearing in everything from desserts to drinks and pastries. Combining it with salted egg and taro inside a familiar puff makes this Mid-Autumn offering quite an unusual pairing.
A Mid-Autumn snack with a local twist
There is something appealing about festive food that does not necessarily follow the traditional route. Mid-Autumn Festival is strongly associated with mooncakes, lanterns and family gatherings, but that does not mean every seasonal treat has to be a mooncake.
Old Chang Kee’s latest creation is more of a casual snack that can be picked up while shopping, travelling home from work or simply looking for something to enjoy during a break. It also makes sense for people who want to join in the festive mood without committing to a whole box of mooncakes.
The combination of taro and salted egg is also worth trying for those who enjoy Asian-inspired flavours. Taro brings a naturally creamy and mildly sweet character, while salted egg adds a richer, savoury note. The mochi then changes the texture altogether, making the snack softer and chewier in the centre.
That mixture of flavours and textures is arguably what makes the Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O stand out. It is not simply another variation of a familiar curry puff or puff pastry. Instead, it gives customers something new to discover during the festive period.
The promotion is simple and affordable
One of the biggest attractions here is the pricing. A single Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O costs $3.80, while customers can get two for $6.80.
The two-piece option works out to $3.40 each, which means there is a $0.80 saving compared with purchasing two individually. For anyone who already plans to share the snack with a friend or family member, getting two makes more sense.
It could also be an easy way to try one for yourself while having another to share. Festive snacks are often more enjoyable when there is someone else around to compare the flavours with, particularly when the product is something as unconventional as salted egg, taro and mochi together.
Of course, customers should take note that the promotion is only available while stocks last. As the Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O is a new seasonal item, availability may vary from outlet to outlet depending on demand.
Why should Singapore shoppers try this deal?
There are several reasons why this limited-time offer is worth keeping in mind.
First, the price is relatively accessible. At $3.80 for one, trying the new item does not require a major commitment. If the combination sounds interesting, customers can simply pick up one and see whether the flavours work for their taste buds.
Secondly, the 2 for $6.80 offer gives shoppers a better-value option when buying for two people. Rather than purchasing two separately for $7.60, the bundle reduces the total to $6.80.
Thirdly, this is a limited-time creation. The Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O is available from 1 to 30 September 2026, so there is a defined window for customers to try it. Anyone who waits until later in the month may find that certain outlets have already sold out.
Most importantly, it is simply something different. People who regularly stop by Old Chang Kee for their favourite snacks may enjoy stepping outside their usual order for a change. The new Mochi’O brings together flavours that are already familiar in Singapore but presents them in an entirely different format.
Easy to pick up while out and about
Another advantage is the availability. The Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O can be found at all Old Chang Kee outlets, making it relatively convenient for customers across Singapore.
There is no need to make a special trip to a particular shopping centre just to find the promotion. Whether customers happen to be near an outlet while shopping, commuting or meeting friends, it is worth checking if the new seasonal puff is available.
It can also make a convenient snack for an afternoon break. The relatively small portion means it can be enjoyed without turning it into a full meal, while the combination of pastry, filling and mochi gives it more variety than an ordinary quick bite.
For families, buying the two-piece offer could also be a simple way to introduce everyone to the new flavour. Alternatively, friends can split the cost and decide whether it deserves a place on their list of favourite festive snacks.
A good option for those who want something beyond mooncakes
Mooncakes remain an important part of Mid-Autumn Festival, but they are not necessarily everyone’s preferred festive treat. Some people may find traditional mooncakes too rich, while others may simply want something lighter and more casual to enjoy during the season.
That is where this Old Chang Kee promotion could fit nicely. The Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O is more of an everyday snack with a festive-season twist, so customers can enjoy it spontaneously rather than waiting for a special gathering.
It could also be an interesting conversation starter when sharing snacks with colleagues or friends. The unusual combination of salted egg, taro and mochi is certainly enough to make people curious about what the first bite will taste like.
With September being the month of Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations, this is a convenient time to give the new flavour a try.
Mark the dates before it disappears
The Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O promotion runs from 1 to 30 September 2026, subject to availability. With all Old Chang Kee outlets participating, customers have plenty of opportunities to look for it during the month.
For those who enjoy experimenting with new snack flavours, the $3.80 single serving is an easy way to start. If there is someone to share it with, the 2 for $6.80 offer provides better value.
Ultimately, the appeal of this promotion is not just about saving a little money. It is about discovering a new take on a familiar snack and enjoying something different during the Mid-Autumn season. The combination of creamy taro, savoury salted egg and stretchy mochi may not be the first flavour pairing that comes to mind, which is precisely why it could be worth trying.
So, the next time customers pass an Old Chang Kee outlet in September, it may be worth checking whether the new Salted Egg Taro Mochi’O is still available. For $3.80, it is a reasonably affordable way to satisfy some curiosity and add a little variety to the festive season.
Availability is while stocks last, so anyone particularly keen to try it should not leave it until the final few days of September.
