我們的食物資源正面對著一種荒謬的情況！
食品及食材每天都在浪費，原因只是不美觀、不好食、低價位而已。既然不吃了，那為什麼不好好的利用他們作身體護理品呢?
在工作坊中，我們將運用純天然的米糠皂和咖啡渣皂，塑造成動物形狀，帶給你粮材的另一體驗。
所以，你還在等什麼呢？來一起派對吧！

Since 1850s, Sai Ying Pun has been serving as the area of Chinese’s settlement. Situated west of Hong Kong Island, Sai Ying Pun is relatively behind Central and Sheung Wan in the pace of urban development, therefore most of the traditional industries and heritage architectures remain in the area to date. In face of MTR Western Line extension, however, the neighborhood is now undergoing a rapid redevelopment process, leading to the closure of many old shops. In this cultural tour with Mr. Lau Kwok Wai as the guide, participants will set foot in the district, which will soon undergo a drastic change, through knowing more about the geography, street shops and historical architectures in the district that characterize the unique features of Sai Ying Pun.
