Perfect Pairing: Wine and Celebrations 酒香．菜香．人情味：與Bernice一同探索中菜與葡萄酒的節慶味學

We are sincerely grateful to celebrity wine expert Bernice Liu for sharing her thoughtful perspective with Fête Chinoise on pairing Chinese cuisine with wine during festive occasions. Through her refined sensibility, she invites us to rediscover culture through the lens of each dish and its accompanying wine pairing.

Mimi Chinese: Tradition, Memory & the Evolution of Cantonese Cuisine 美美：傳統、記憶與粵菜的當代演變

In this chapter, Mimi Chinese returns to the language of memory, reinvention, and quiet abundance.

Rooted in the spirit of celebration that defines the Mid-Autumn Festival—where reunion, harvest, and reflection converge under the fullness of the moon—each dish becomes both gesture and offering. From the tactile pleasure of shared plates to the precision of technique hidden beneath restraint, the menu moves between nostalgia and invention, between the comfort of the familiar and the intrigue of the unexpected.
