Hong Kong artist makes chocolate rain on New Jersey

Prudence Mak says she hopes to inspire a connection between the Greater New York area and Hong Kong.

The celebrated designer, who created the cartoon doll character Fatina Dreams for her creative crafts brand Chocolate Rain, told China Daily on Oct 12 that as a young woman from Hong Kong, she grew up in "a melting pot of cultures, where the East meets the West — it's an integral part of who we are".

Fatina took center stage over the weekend at the Hong Kong Meets America — Pop Art Exhibition by Chocolate Rain at the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan.
