Er.. .
Maybe it's just me.
I have no idea what people go ga-ga over Buddha Jumps Over The Wall. Is it because of its very fanciful ingredients? Or is it the broth?
Honestly, give me home-cooked ABC soup anytime!
The other day at Hua Ting, the in laws (actually, it was just mil ah) were quite keen on ordering it. I was asked to make reservation and order the mini bowl for all of us 1 day in advance and i did just that [a gf said the same too, on the advance thingie].
My verdict?
Again, i can do without it.
$60 a bowl doesn't quite do any justice to it. Or perhaps, the dungu* me simply do not know how to appreciate it? :P
Anyway, from now on, i'm all out to saying no to all these fancy soups etc... Er, actually i did say no to it quite sometime ago but i somehow caved in this time. Yeah, horrible me! However, no more next time. Promise. Let's save the sharks from now on! And abalone too!
p.s : i can just imagine the husband rolling his eyes! Ha! Hb loves loves shark's fins anything.. that donkey!
Note : for more info on Shark Finning, click here. Warning : cruel photos.
Do you know? : Singapore is the world's third largest sharks’ fin trading center, after Hong Kong and Taiwan, according to UN's Food and Agriculture Organization.
pps : i know this is a very personal thing. I'm just stating my preference and of course, i do not expect you to have the same view as me. No offence to those who love soups like such. Of course, if you do.. i won't like you less because of it. Like mentioned, it's a very individual thing. If i am indeed that kind of person who will like you less because of your preference, like that i wont marry the husband liao :P
Disclaimer : the in laws do not usually dine out. Out of 365 days, they dine out less than 5 times. Most of the time, father in law prefer to cook his own huge (real huge) plate of stir fry vegetables and eat it like that. That, to fil is the ultimate good and satisfying meal.

it's probably all grand sounding and the sharks' fin and abalone all add up i suppose.
i love stewed soups. if they do the shark bone soup, i love that. :0 i've this naive idea that if they kill the whole shark, it's okay, but not if it's just to fin it. frankly, it's not the fins i like. it's just tasteless. it's the soup base that's really nice!
Grin. Yup yup yup, the fins itself has got no taste at all. U know, for shark's fins soup, i actually like the crab meat and the goo-ey (sp?) soup base. No fins also nevermind!
Yeah, i think most people who go against these animal killing is because the human leave them to die like that. Eg : sharks and its fins, the rhinos and the horns. Too cruel.
I can just imagine human going against killing of the cows if we were kill them just for their tails or something and then leave them to die just like that. But of course, we don't do that to the cows. We eat the whole thing!
