From mahjong keyboards to mahjong makeup sponges, mahjong has very much evolved into something more than just a traditional game that we only play during Chinese New Year.
With the social gathering restrictions currently in place, however, meeting up with your mahjong buddies and extended family members for a game (or 10) is unlikely. But, we may have found something to help reminisce your time spent shuffling and arranging mahjong tiles – and it comes in the form of mahjong-themed desserts!
Just in time for International Mahjong Day (1 August), these edible cakes and pastries are so good-looking, they’ll surely make an Insta-worthy update on your feed!
Ahead, check out the local bakers that you can get your mahjong desserts to celebrate the upcoming International Mahjong Day.
