The term “Jumping Buddha”, comes from “Fo Tiao Qiang”, the phrase used in an 
uncommonly delicacy which means “theBuddha jumps over the fence”.  It is a
 dish consisting of very unique, high quality ingredients.  While being prepared, 
its aroma permeates the air so pungently that the Buddha would break out from
 his meditation and jump over the fence for a taste of such a delicacy.
