Mahjong Party versus Mahjong Community

I just want to introduce us and chat about what our vision is for mahjong and the mahjong community globally and in Asia. It is estimated that 600,000,000 people play mahjong worldwide. There are 35 countries that have mahjong representatives in worldwide mahjong organizations. The game began in Asia, and then spread globally. There is a vast difference between the styles of play in some countries and the nuances in the game between countries. For this reason, we have 2 separate blogs to discuss mahjong.

This blog, The Mahjong Community, is a subdivision of Mahjong Party. The Mahjong Party can be found at www.themahjongparty.com. Its purpose is to focus on the Asian styles of mahjong, with a beginning focus on the Hong Kong or Classical style of mahjong, and later will expand to the other styles of play found throughout Asia. Mahjong Party features in depth interviews with people and businesses in the the Asian mahjong community, explaining some of the Asian culture and nuances around mahjong, Asian recipes, food, and traditions around mahjong. There are many complexities to the Asian styles of play, so we wanted to have a site fully dedicated to that. We are also building a course that goes into depth about the Hong Kong style of play, and we will also feature other styles of play on our learning platform. The blog on Mahjong Party is therefore about the Asian styles of the game and the Asian community.

Returning back to this blog, The Mahjong Community blog, our focus here is about mahjong on a global scale. Mahjong is played worldwide, in the USA, Canada, France, the Netherlands, and in many more countries. This blog will go into the worldwide interest in mahjong and will interview players from around the globe. It will feature articles about mahjong jewellery and designs that include the NMJL version of play. The other blog, on Mahjong Party, focuses solely on Asian styles of play and its articles about merchandise and jewellery solely reflect that of Asian styles of play. 

We welcome you to both our blogs, or whichever one suits you most. Mahjong is such a complex, fascinating game, we hope to share our insights with you wherever you find us. 

Mahjong Cakes

Here on the Mahjong Community blog we chat about mahjong, the people and businesses in the global mahjong community, and how this fascinating game shows up in their lives.

Today, we are going to take a look at the intricate detail and elegance of mahjong cakes. We will bounce all over the globe to take a look at what bakers are doing with their mahjong inspired cakes. If you get inspired by the cakes, just click on the bakery name above their picture to get to their Instagram! 

We begin our journey at Vancouver, BC in Canada with @stephanieskitchenvancouver. You can find them on Instagram and on their website at https://www.stephanieskitchen.ca/.



Next, we go over to Singapore where we have an agar agar cake. Agar agar is a vegetarian type of gelatin and is used to make jelly. So we have ourselves a jelly cake!
