OK, since now we are undoubtedly into mooncake festival month, full swing, this seems like the right post for the right moment.
Did you know that the 3 best drinks to pair with mooncakes, are…
1. Full-bodied sweet wines – Savoury salty egg yolks, chewy pastry and sweet lotus paste are an elegant match with sweet wines.
2. Champagne – as if we need an excuse to drink bubbly huh? Well bubbly goes great with musang king, chocolate or most snow skins really if you ask me.
3. Chinese tea – actually this goes with everything, and especially the nutty and more oily mooncakes.
So, imagine our delight with MHD delivered this to our door. Eventhough we were away, we still get to enjoy some fabulous mooncakes with the equally fabulous and effervescent, Veuve Clicquot!
Snowskin is my absolute favourite!
Yay us, Yay MHD.. and double yay for mooncakes paired with champagne, for sure! Now if you will excuse us.. we are off to get fat.

Looks so delicious .
Yah.. can’t wait to open the bottle! 😀
I would agree wholeheartedly with No. 3.
Only tea? really? How about champagne! Surely you won’t say no to bubbles KY 😛
Wah….mooncake eating taken up a notch with some bubbly! Since I don’t drink, Chinese tea will have to do 😉
You don’t?!! Nooooooo…!! LOL
perfect … i can easily eat three slices of mooncakes in one sitting, so chinese tea to pair with the first slice, champagne for the second, and a sweet wine with the third 😀
THREE only? I thought you’d say three whole mooncakes! 😛 anyway 3 slices is easy.. and the booze helps to wash it down, oh so well!
Can’t imagine the taste! I guess i’ll have to try to find out 😛
Which one? 1.? 2.? or 3.???
Fun article! Food is always better paired with wine. 🙂
For sure! Bubbles to be exact! LOL. That’s my all time favourite.
I love mooncake! Especially snow skin one, hehehe. 😀
Yah! the best sort.. totally agree!
