You Won’t Be Able to Deny How Strange They Are!
As mooncakes continue to evolve and cater to diverse tastes, some bakeries and chefs have experimented with strange flavours to stand out. While these flavours may be considered awkward or unusual by traditional standards, they can still appeal to adventurous eaters. Here are 9 of the most awkward mooncake flavours:
Salmon Wasabi Mooncake
The salmon and wasabi mooncake is a trendy new creation, blending boneless salmon fillet and wasabi sauce in a classic pastry crust, enriched with egg sauce, fish roe, and nori for a delectable, layered taste.
Tom Yum Mooncake
Tom Yum, a spicy and sour Thai soup, used as a mooncake flavor, can be a daring departure from traditional sweet fillings.
Instant Noodle Mooncake
The instant noodle mooncake is a unique and unconventional twist on the traditional mooncake, incorporating instant noodles as a key ingredient, adding a delightful and unexpected flavour to the traditional festive treat.
Mooncakes with Bean-taste Filling Fried with Tomatoes
The fried mooncake pieces filled with sweet bean paste and tomatoes. This creation quickly gained popularity on the Internet and earned the nickname ‘the strangest mooncakes‘. Definitely an awkward mooncake indeed.
Garlic Mooncake
The black garlic mooncake’s filling includes black garlic, black beans, mung beans, and a mix of roasted chicken and fish fins. Though it seems something is wrong, the taste is exciting with saltiness and subtle sourness.
If those aren’t strange enough..
Pickle and Bullfrog Mooncake
Split apart the mooncake to reveal a large piece of bullfrog with pickled Chinese cabbage. Each mooncake contains a boneless bullfrog leg for your convenience.
Mooncake with Crawfish Filling
Experience a unique and eccentric twist with a mooncake featuring crawfish filling, blending unexpected seafood delight with the traditional pastry.
Canned Mooncake
In 2014, a netizen devised a peculiar way to preserve mooncakes by placing them in a jar with 3/4 liquor and 1/4 vinegar, adding slices of ginger on top.
And the most awkward mooncake award goes to:
Mooncake with Leek Egg Filling
Leek dumplings and roasted leeks are acceptable, but the combination of leeks and mooncakes is not something people will be easily trying out.
