Nikko Hotel – Demonstration on How to Make Bak Chang a.k.a Dumpling

Last Monday, wifey and I were invited by Katie, the Director Of Communications of Nikko Hotel to have a DIY demonstration session with the chef. Look at below !! All of us were given our own space to follow the chef. Of course you have to be fast, without a cooking skill, I think you’ll be lost half way. Lol…

Next we proceed with another delicacies. It’s sort of mashed sweet potatoes (the orange color) one.

After pressing the potatoes again and again till it’s well mashed, then we proceed to make it shape like as below.
