Staff from Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital display their culinary skills to help raise funds for Operation Santa Claus
- Their donation drive has raised HK$1 million for the year-end charity project
- Singer Pakho Chau also lends his star power to the hospital’s efforts
A donation drive which featured the culinary creativity of Canto-pop singer Pakho Chau Pak-ho and many medical professionals from the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital in Happy Valley raised HK$1 million (US$128,423) this week.
Many participants hopped in relays in the “Hop Hop Marathon” session on Monday, while some took on a challenge at game booths set up there.
The “Super Chef with Love” contest, meanwhile, offered a rare glimpse of the medical practitioners’ creative capabilities at the kitchen table.
Four contesting teams, who had been sponsored by colleagues and friends to show off their talent with food, raced to impress judges with their innovative Hong Kong-style afternoon tea treats, which included fruit teas, burgers and toasts with tomatoes and bananas.
