Buddha Jumps Over the Wall from Ah Er Soup in Singapore

This probably requires a bit of explaining. First off, the name of this soup is a direct translation of fo tiao qiang, as the meat-based soup was supposed to be delicious enough to pull vegetarian monks from their temples to eat.

What made it tasty was the ingredients, including chicken, fish maw, shiitake mushrooms, scallops, ham, abalone, and bamboo shoots. This one didn't feature shark's fin like it's traditionally supposed to, but it was affordable, savory, and healthy.

This was from a Bib Gourmand chain of Cantonese soup stalls called Ah Er. Or at least, one of their franchised outlets held the designation briefly one year. Apparently each outlet handles their soups a bit differently, and this wasn't the one that Michelin blessed. But I liked it.
