Synopsis of “Pang Show”

Master Palbong was a legendary baker and the founder of the Palbong Bakery. Even after Master Palbong’s death, the Palbong Bakery remains full of energy because the master has left them with his recipe for the magical “Exciting Bread – PANG”, which brings excitement after a single bite.

One day, the recipe for the “Exciting Bread – PANG” was disappeared from the shop and the bakers of Palbong Bakery faced their biggest crisis since they can no longer bake any “Exciting Bread – PANG”.

Now is the time for Kim Tak ku, the King of Baking, to stand up for the honour of Palbong Bakery and bring back the energy to the shop by making the “Exciting Bread – PANG” with his fellow bakers.

To make the “Exciting Bread – PANG” the Bakers themselves have to be excited first. This marks the beginning of an exciting challenge – for the performers and the audience.
