in a collaboration with starbucks, nokia released a set of 4 mooncakes, modeled after their l’amour series of glamorous-looking mobile phones. ever seen mooncakes that are shaped like mobile phones? no? read on!

ta-da! i must say, these mooncakes don’t look very tasty or even edible, do they? i wouldn’t feel like biting into one. but they sure are among the most unusual mooncakes i have seen!

each mooncake is shaped like an actual nokia l’amour phone, complete with the nokia brand name (of course) and pretty florals!

starbucks has their own mooncake too. i love the way the logo fits perfectly onto the face of the mooncake. come to think of it, wouldn’t coffee go well with mooncake? i’m so craving for a cup of joe right now!

for those of you who aren’t huge fans of the traditional mooncake, opt for a jelly one! it’s purple too! pretty, pretty. it even has an egg yolk at its center.

and for the rest of you who don’t eat mooncakes at all, maybe you might hug one instead, such as a cuddly plush toy! meet mr. mooncake!

then there are the animal-shaped ones of course. a cute bunny-shaped mooncake, perhaps to honor chang’e?

last but not least, my personal favorite — a hello kitty-shaped mooncake biscuit! ahhh! i miss japan all over again!

so, what’s the most unusual mooncake you have had this mid-autumn festival?
