Rémy Cointreau Malaysia: Gifts of mooncakes with cognac, whisky & gin to cheer the spirits

Unusual times call for a unique way to celebrate this year's Mid-Autumn Festival: Rémy Cointreau Malaysia promises an experience to remember with pairings of mooncakes with cognac, whisky and gin, helping us share a sweet moment while raising our glasses to brighter times ahead.

For those of us fortunate to be celebrating with family and loved ones, Rémy Cointreau's curation of mooncakes with premium spirits will be the ideal accompaniment to a traditional dinner or get-together. 

The rest of us can send gifts of warmth and well wishes to our favourite people with elegant Rémy Cointreau sets that showcase four delightfully designed mooncakes with selected premium spirits.

For mooncakes that make a memorable impression, Rémy Cointreau's creations stand out with spectacularly crafted imprints of the Centaur logo, a time-honoured hallmark of the brand since the 1800s.

The baked beauties come in four flavours that blend the classic and contemporary: Pure Lotus Double Yolk, Matcha Red Bean, Charcoal White Lotus with Crushed Yolk, and Pandan Lotus that's low in sugar, thoughtfully offering something for everybody.

Making them even more distinctive, the mooncakes are presented in crimson wooden boxes, packaged in recyclable tote bags. They're certain to thrill recipients, offering a treat for the senses, being a visual marvel as well as a pleasure for the palate.

Relishing the mooncakes with Rémy Cointreau products is an intriguing change from the conventional wisdom of pairing mooncakes with tea - you'll find that cognac, gin and whisky work equally well to cut through the sweetness of the mooncakes! Plus, in times like these, we all deserve an extra indulgence to cheer our spirits.

Eat and Cook: Nasi Kandar Don

Eat and Cook's new Don-for-delivery series proves there are still satisfying surprises to be scooped up in rice bowls.

The Nasi Kandar Don does justice to the spirit of George Town - crisply fried spiced chicken, as lip-smacking as anything on Lebuh Campbell, with fish curry that channels the full-bodied flavours of Chulia Street, perfect to flood the rice. Instead of tenggiri, tuna is the fish, no less than otoro, lightly breaded to keep the succulent focus on the fattiest part of the fish belly. Mix it up with a chunky-tender octopus sambal, onsen egg, peanuts and pickled onions for a punchy, potent taste of Penang (RM64).

The Don series is extensive, with beef buffs well cared for. Sink your teeth into the Short Rib Don, showcasing 300-day grain-fed meat supplied by The Honest Butcher retailer in Sungai Buloh, thickly and tenderly fleshy, clean-tasting in completing the sauce-soaked rice, brightened and balanced with fresh kailan, ulam raja and pickled chillies for the perfect beef bowl (RM69).
