Haii hohhh....
2 days ago (20 October2013) was chink-chink birthday
and we were dinner at SOUTH BEAUTY which is famous of its
"BEGGAR CHICKEN"
WHAT IS BEGGAR CHICKEN?
Beggar's Chicken, a traditional Chinese dish as popular with tourists as with Far Eastern gourmets, calls for a chicken, two lotus leaves and ''six pounds of pond mud.'' And while the chicken is packed with a delicious stuffing, it is the lotus leaf and mud wrapping that makes this bird so tasty, tender and intriguing.
Beggar's Chicken begins with a whole chicken, which is washed, rinsed with wine and then stuffed with onions, ginger, Chinese black mushrooms, pickled cabbage and other preserved vegetables. The chicken is wrapped in huge lotus leaves, packed in cool, wet claylike mud or ceramic clay and then baked for hours in a low oven. When the dish is ready and the hard clay cracked open, the chicken, so tender it falls away from the bone, releases a steamy fragrance that is truly memorable.
Beggar's chicken story:
A homeless, starving beggar is wandering along a road when he catches sight of a chicken. Desperate for food, he kills the chicken by wringing its neck. Lacking a stove, he covers the chicken in mud, makes a fire and bakes it. (One version has him plucking the feathers off the chicken as he eats).
At this point an Emperor passes by with his entourage. Attracted by the aroma of the baked chicken, he stops and dines with the beggar, demanding to know how he created such a delicious meal. "Beggar's chicken" is subsequently added to the list of dishes served at the Imperial court.
