The other day we wanted a small snack for lunch after having some ‘noodles cantonese style’ in a lovely little place near Jordan MTR for breakfast (honestly, I’m going to get the address of the place because the lady was so kind – she was just laughing at us for pointing at pictures of things, and then took Adams food away mid-meal to put more broth in, so kind!). The noodles were big and flat, I think they could have been ho fun? and served in a basic chicken stock broth with braised chicken (a fatty skin cut) and spring onions (I think!). We had milk tea along side this, which my foodie friend Charmaine told me about before I came out here (you can read her food blog about the process of milk tea here), and we wouldn’t of known to order such a thing if she hadn’t, so thanks Charz!

Anyway, after going shopping for the rest of the morning, we felt a little peckish at about 2pm so headed to the food hall in the mall we were at. Bustling with bunches of different asian food stuffs (vietnamese, japanese, fusion etc etc.) we settled on some steamed dim sum (it was quick!). Another case of pointing at things and smiling like the stupid foreigners that we are, we ended up with chicken feet in a spicy sauce, vegetable dumplings with prawn, and vegetable dumplings with pork (I’m not sure if that’s what they actually are called, but it’s definitely what they *were*).

I have to confess that after trying 1 chickens foot, I decided I wasn’t a fan. For me, I found the texture a little too strange, and the lack of actual flesh a little unappealing. Adam liked them though, and I must admit that the sauce they were in was delicious! I would definitely be willing to try these again in a real restuarant, though, I really don’t want to base my opinion of them on some food hall kitchen!
