After our Respect at Long Hu Shan Zheng Yi Guan (龍虎山正一觀), we proceed with our Dinner – the Heavenly Master Trigram Feast of Long Hu Shan Tian Shi Fu (龍虎山天師府), this Feast was being pass-down since Song Dynasty (最早記載有八卦宴是於宋朝年間) and whenever there were Big Celebration, the Heavenly Masters were prepared this Feast for the Guests.
Due to we had arrived late, the Chief In-charge of Zheng Yi Guan was not able to get us a Table in the Official Dining Hall in Tian Shi Fu, so we had to proceed to Shang Qing Village Taoist Inn (上清古鎮) to have our Trigram Feast. Really appreciate the assistance of the Chief in the arranging for this Special Trigram Feast for the whole group of us.
Upon arrival, we were being welcomed by the Eight Cold Vegetarian Dishes – made from the local Mountainous Plants & Herbs, followed by the Yin Yang Tai Ji Toufu (陰陽太極豆腐).
With all the Cold Dishes to cleanse our Throat and Stomach, the 12 Main Dishes were being served.
To our surprises, these 12 Dishes were being made by Deer (山鹿), Donkey (山驢), Bull-frog (田雞), Eel (河鰻), Lu Xi River Fish (廬溪魚), Turtle (甲魚), Kampong Chicken (土雞), Kampong Duck (土鴨), Wild Boar (山豬), Pork (畜豬), Local Vegetable (山菜) and Eight Treasure Lotus Rice (八寶荷葉飯). Due to we don’t consume Dog, Beef, etc, the Chief had replaced some other dishes with other Meat items.
That very night, we really had a good and full meal.
After having the Feast, the Chief show us their Residential Apartment of All the Taoist Priests and then, we proceed back to our Hotel for an early rest before proceeding to Tian Shi Fu on the next morning.
Looks good to eat :) Haha won't mind whipping a smaller version of this for Kong Zi's b'day next year :D
