With the Mid-Autumn Festival fast approaching, bakers are beginning to cook up some interesting creations in the kitchen.
Coriander-flavoured mooncakes
Hong Kong bakery Qiu Xi and Taiwanese coriander noodle brand Mr. Coriander have collaborated to create coriander-flavoured mooncakes.
The mandarin word for "coriander" is stamped clearly on the mooncake to prevent any confusion.
According to Apple Daily, the mooncake only has a butter scent, so make sure to not be fooled if you ever spot this in person.
The mooncakes are said to be made using three different types of cilantro: fresh coriander, dried coriander, and coriander powder.
There's also a bit of matcha flavouring in the mixture to help make it slightly sweet.
S$40.46 per box
The mooncakes are currently only available for preorders in Hong Kong until Aug. 31.
A box of four mooncakes will cost HK$228 (S$40.46), making each mooncake approximately HK$57 (S$10.11).
