"Buddha jumps over the wall"? Was this dish so sinful for Buddha that he had to jump over the wall to escape? After reading a few articles on this, I found out that is not true. It was about a Fuzhou scholar who went picnicking with friends. He had placed all the ingredients with him in a jar and was heated over a charcoal flame. The aroma and lovly smell spread all the way to a nearby temple and was so inviting the monks could not resist and jumped over the wall tp partake in this hearty dish.
A poem in praise of the delicious dish was rendered, in which one lined read, "Even Buddha himself would jump over the wall".
"Buddha jump over the wall" is a highly complex chinese soup or stew cosisting of many ingredients of non-vegeterian origins and requiring one to two full days to create. Recently Chef Steven Cheng had created this soup and make available at his restaraunt Mei Chixuan. This dish usually very expensive but Chef Steven Cheng make it available and affordable, a mini version of "Buddha jump ove the wall". This dish consists of :
Dried Scallops
Shark Fin
Abalone
Seacucumber
Mushroom
Chicken
Chinese Ham
Dried Bamboo Shoots
Chef Steven's version of mini "Buddha jump over the wall" or "Fut Tiew Cheong" is gorgeous and delicious. The double boiled soup is so aroma and so tasty and yet so affordable. We love this dish and it is a sure winner.
It is delicious that not left in the bowl except the bone. It is worth to try this gorgeous dish and my next stop would be Mei Chixuan. A bowl of this soup cost only Rm38.80(US$13), so affordable.
