From my experiences, 15th of each lunar month is the best for shooting moonrises for 2 simple reasons..
1. The moon is very bright, round and big!
2. Go to the beach for this one... today, the moon-rise will be very near sunset timing, so by the time the sun sets and the light is good (not too dark), the moon is in a perfect height above the horizon for ya to take that low moon (and its reflection). Incidently, the moon is bigger when near horizon.
However, the best moonrise i ever saw in Singapore was one year I was in Pulau Hantu for a BBQ, I was at the tip of the island where I saw the Sunset and moonrise simultaneously.. one at each side!
