The Legend

Legend has it Egg Foo Young was invented by the scholar 朱善祥 in the Ching Dynasty in the 18th century. One day, when he worked at the province of Yunnan, he was attracted by a local egg delicacy. The scholar loved to eat it so much and described the look of the egg dishes resemble the beautiful lotus flower (芙蓉). When he was back to Zhenjiang, he improvised the dish and eventually popularized in Guangdong. He called it as ‘lotus egg’ (Foo Young means lotus in Chinese), and the name got stuck with it until today.
