The two Nadja's entered another class organised by the HK tourism board. This one took place on the Tsim Sha Tsui area, near the famous Nathan Road shopping area where we learned to make 'Wife Cakes' and 'Egg Rolls' on a rainy afternoon. Wife cakes are two types of dough (when baked they create a flakey crust) with a sticky rice & sugar filling. You can buy them at any local bakery here and they're really yummy. Interestingly, the story behind wife cakes is they were baked by a husband who sold them to raise enough money in order to prevent his wife from selling herself to be able to support her sick father in law with medicines.
Under the teaching of two "masters" (in china it takes 10 years of training to become a master chef) our cakes and rolls turned out quite delicious :)
