Buddha Jumps Over The Wall 佛跳牆~~欢喜过马年

Last year I challenge myself to make Poon Choi ( Big Bowl Feast )  盆菜 during CNY, and this year I did this Buddha Jumps Over The Wall 佛跳牆. My version is easy and simple version, total only 8 ingredients. I omitted shark fin as my husband already "Finished with fins" ^_^ and we not really fancy with abalones. Why this dish called Buddha Jumps Over The Wall? Because of the good smell, it made Buddha break out of this meditation and jump over the wall of the restaurant next door which served good wine-jug stew, read more here.
