Two women in a Tsuen Wan hotpot diner were sent to hospital on Friday night after the cassette gas stove exploded and injured their faces. Lives sources said the duo accompanied by three others, started their hotpot dinner around 7pm Friday, and one of the two gas stoves – both turned off – suddenly exploded around 9pm as they were having desserts. The explosion shattered the induction panel on the table and splashed glass debris, food, and the soup base at the women's faces. They sustained facial injuries and were sent to Yan Chai Hospital in a conscious state. Firefighters later arrived at the scene to follow up on the incident.
