Well, I shall miss Burns Night because I fly out to Malaysia on the 23rd, - - - - - - So I am eating my Haggis, neeps and tatties now, before I fly away
I am actually drinking an exceptionally nice Rioja with it - but I do feel it would go well with a number of Oolongs

Re: What do you like to eat with your oolong?
A few nights ago I had baked salmon in olive oil with some tie luo han and thought it was a good match but I love fish with everything so thats not saying much.
Re: What do you like to eat with your oolong?
Oolongs are my all time favorite. I may have a pot of Oolong before eating or after eating but I would never want to have anything going across my taste buds near the same time. It would just ruin the experience.

I really like to drink oolong with chinese steamed buns and dumplings. I wish you hadn't asked this question...now I'm really craving for it.

Lo Sang aka Lo Hie aka many others
http://www.cultureledger.com/yusheng-ye ... or-lo-hei/
On the 7th day of CNY I celebrated Lo Hie in Jing Dian with copious cups of Oolong. Whilst tossing the food with Chopsticks we all had to shout Yee Sang or something similar which was translated as "money comes" or "bring me wealth"
On 9th day of CNY I celebrated it again in Se Chen tea shop slightly different foods and no shouting, the difference was explained as different nationalities vary the ritual and the name.
I will post some photos later.

I don't often eat whilst drinking tea, but occasionally, if it's in the morning, tang yuan or congee.

Shui jin gui with Szechuan fish (two nights ago and was a nice combination.)

You can still eat chocolate with no sugarevilberg wrote:A bit of chocolate can be a nice treat.
Allthough for now I'm on a strict non-suger diet in an attempt to develop a better sense of taste.

they´re hard to find but there are chocolate bars with only cacao solids and cacao butter
also you could eat roasted cacao nibs

Re: What do you like to eat with your oolong?
I mix a wuyi tincture with my crepe recipe. I also really like to drink any oolong with spicy foods!

Wow, looks tasty! If I may ask ... a bit off topic. What fat do you use there in China for the crust?

Re: What do you like to eat with your oolong?
this dough is made of wheat flower, butter, sugar and eggs. I added a little german packet of baking powder too, otherwise the ingredients are local this time.Chip wrote:Wow, looks tasty! If I may ask ... a bit off topic. What fat do you use there in China for the crust?
Family and friends who live in UK and Germany do often send stuff that's hard to come by round here so I'm not all that limited by whats available locally.
