Does your Mahjong gathering need a culinary inspiration? For arrival, serve cantaloupe bites with goat cheese crumbles topped with bacon. Pair this with oolong tea. For the lunch break, serve steamed crab claws with lemon butter sauce and steamed vegetable dumplings with soy sauce mixed with orange marmalade. Pair this with Darjeeling tea. During the afternoon break, serve a festive blend of black tea mixed with dried fruit. Each of the three tea services offers an opportunity to showcase your favorite porcelain tea sets. If you have not yet acquired a Russian samovar, it is a grand addition to your entertaining repertoire! Just remember that traditionally, Russian tea is served in tall heat resistant glasses with metal base holders. To make your guests feel most special, at the closure, gift each player with an origami crane to make your game day most memorable. © Kelly McBride Loft
