Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner and the star of the show is non other than MOONCAKES! We believe that most Malaysians must have tried the traditional mooncake at least once in their lifetime, but have you come across the weirdest mooncake flavours? Here’s a list of weirdest mooncake flavours that will leave you (and your taste buds) shocked and confused.
1. Tom Yum Mooncake
This flavour will definitely spice up your taste buds as it is a combination of sweet-sour-spicy flavours. It is a traditional mooncake that jumbles up a mild sour and spicy kick.

2. Instant noodle mooncake
The idea of mixing instant noodle and mooncake together is just a little weird, no? If you love instant noodles, this is something not to be missed this mooncake festival!

3. Kopi with Salted Hokkaido Milk
Have you ever tried kopi flavoured mooncakes? How about coffee flavoured mooncake with a tinge of salted Hokkaido milk and a smooth snow skin layer? Sounds interesting.

4. Gula Melaka Pandan
The Gula Melaka Pandan flavour contains a light coconut scent. The salted egg flavour symphonizes the sweetness of the chocolate and the savoury taste of the salted egg yolk.

5. Apple Vodka Snowskin Mooncake
An alcohol infused mooncake? It will be a new option for alcohol lovers out there! Also, the name itself is quite a mouthful but we bet that it will blow our mind!

6. Rootbeer Mooncake
Root beer was one of our favourite childhood drinks, and now you can taste it from a mooncake! It has a tinge of rum and vanilla beans mixed together with a smooth layer of snow skin.

7. Chocolate and Spicy Beef Mooncake
Well, this combination is a little daring isn’t it? We’re talking about sweet meets savory, all in a mooncake itself. Will you give it a try?

8. Milo Dinosaur Mooncake
A molten lava Milo dinosaur mooncake is every Milo fans’ fantasy! It is like eating a molten lava chocolate cake with a slightly crunchy layer. Yums!

9. Bakkwa Mooncake
Bakkwa is one of our favourite CNY snacks! But right now this too has been added into the ever-growing variety of mooncake. Other than bite-size bakkwa, there’s also melon seeds, nuts, orange peels!

10. Yuzu Bird Nest Mooncake
This is perhaps one of the more luxurious version of mooncake. It is one of the snow skin series mooncakes that is infused with bird nest.
