Every year, the Mid-Autumn Festival brings families and friends together over lanterns, tea, and of course, mooncakes. While traditional baked mooncakes continue to hold their charm, modern variations have found a special place in Singaporeans’ hearts. Among them, Swensen’s ice-cream mooncakes are a perennial favourite. This Mid-Autumn season, Swensen’s has teamed up with OCBC to sweeten the celebrations for cardholders, offering up to 15% off their ice-cream mooncakes when payment is made using an OCBC credit or debit card issued in Singapore.
This promotion is a wonderful chance to treat yourself or your loved ones to a refreshing twist on the festive classic. Whether you’re gifting or simply indulging, Swensen’s makes it extra rewarding to celebrate the occasion with savings that stretch across almost two months.
Why Swensen’s Ice-Cream Mooncakes Are Worth Trying
Swensen’s has been a household name in Singapore for decades, best known for its indulgent ice-cream treats, hearty family meals, and of course, creative desserts. When it comes to mooncakes, they bring the same flair that has made their sundaes and ice-cream cakes iconic.
Ice-cream mooncakes combine the familiar shape and presentation of traditional mooncakes with the refreshing delight of ice-cream inside. Each piece is carefully moulded to resemble the classic pastry but offers a chilled surprise once you slice into it. The smooth ice-cream centre is often paired with chocolate or decorative coatings that make them as pretty to look at as they are delicious to eat.
What makes Swensen’s versions especially appealing is the variety of flavours on offer. Instead of the usual lotus paste or red bean filling, you might get anything from rich chocolate to fruity delights or even local-inspired flavours. It’s a modern reinvention of a classic, making them a hit with children, young adults, and anyone who enjoys a refreshing treat during Singapore’s humid weather.
