“The participating retirement homes must organise an internal baking competition before September 15 to determine five finalists who will advance to the top-notch milk tart competition.

“On October 14, the winner and Helping Hand will spoil a local kindergarten with milk tarts baked according to the winning recipe while sharing its history and secret with the youngsters.”
Böning said the project will bring senior citizens and children together.
