Hong Kong, 8th October 2004 – “Fo Tiao Qiang” or “Buddha Jumps Over The Wall” is an exclusive tonic dish that originates from Fujian province. Chef Leung of Hoi King Heen has decided to step into history and legend to recreate the traditional concealed urn dish from ancient recipes.
According to legend there was a Minister who held a dinner party in his garden, then next day his chef decided to cook all the leftovers from land and sea in a concealed urn pot. Wind blew the delicious smell into the backyard of a temple, and one of the monks was so tempted by the wonderful aromas that he jumped over the wall to sample the dish. When the monk asked the name of the dish, the crafty cook came up with “Buddha Jumps Over the Wall”.
“Buddha Jumps Over The Wall” has evolved over the years to include wonderful ingredients such as Sharks Fin, Fish Maw, Sea Cucumber, Abalone, Conpoy, Chinese Mushrooms and herbs.
Guests can enjoy Chef Leung’s Double-boiled Buddha jumps over the monastery wall with Chinese herbs, Braised Buddha jumps over the monastery wall in a casserole and Braised vegetarian Buddha jumps over the monastery wall.

The Diamond Of The Table – The White Truffle
The white truffle is unique to Piedmont. With its irregular, round shape, white truffles have smooth, grey-brown surface with delicate aroma. When cut open the flesh displays a brown tint similar to that of hazelnuts, marbled with whitish streaks. White truffles are best savoured when they are sliced very thin and strewn over risotto, pasta or scrambled eggs.
Known as the "daughter of lightning" among ancient Greeks and Romans, white truffles received high esteem for their aphrodisiac properties. Famous Italian composer Rossini, also a renowned gourmand, called the truffle "the Mozart of mushrooms." White truffles, now universally called the "diamond of the table," are said to enliven the dinner of any person of good taste throughout the world.
During the month of October guests will have the chance to enjoy the fantastic flavour of white truffles at The Mistral. Don’t miss dishes such as Lobster salad with pumpkin, grilled pepper and white Alba truffle sauce; Parmesan cheese risotto perfumed with white chocolate and white truffles from Alba; Boiled Dover sole in herb infusion with porcini mushrooms, clams and white Alba truffles; Pan-fried beef tenderloin “Rossini” with duck liver, red onion marmalade, baby carrots and white Alba truffles.
