I went to the Shanghai Tea Garden last week and I thought their dumplings were pretty good! Lots of Chinese people in there too.Alishahttp://www.arbitrarium.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-28858152916570028242011-05-11T15:35:17.560+08:002011-05-11T15:35:17.560+08:00@ChickenAboutChicken<br /><br />Chicken Feet (Phoenix Claw!) is one of those dishes that is about the texture and flavour not the meat. They are slow cooked in a delicious sauce (that is what my in-laws all compare different restaurant versions by) and you eat the very tender inner gelatinous flesh of the foot sucking on the little bones before politely popping them on the side of your plate. Some of the tendons are too solid to eat either so they get put aside too and the tough outer skin of the foot has long been removed and never sees the light of day in the restaurant. I think they cook them once to release the skin and nails then cook them a second time to get them so soft.<br /><br />3 dishes we always get at Dim Sum is Crispy Fried Squid, Phoenix Claw and Sticky Rice. Generally we start with the Rice Porridge (can&#39;t remember the name) and end with Egg Tarts :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-55748054574782370562011-01-29T14:08:30.418+08:002011-01-29T14:08:30.418+08:00Errr so... ummm... *cough*... what do you DO with the chicken feet?

I ordered chicken feet because I wanted try them, only to discover they were mouth-burningly hot with chilli. So I didn&#39;t get to try them. :(gemfyrehttp://gemfyre.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-8183274949439124982010-01-30T22:53:30.429+08:002010-01-30T22:53:30.429+08:00My missus is Asian so I sorta take it for granted. I, too, am surprised by the number of friends who&#39;ve never experienced it.<br /><br />One other &quot;tip&quot; for the novices: A few identical meals come slimy [steamed] or crispy [deep fried] and I&#39;ve noticed the slimy ones tend to come out first.<br /><br />I&#39;m a big fan of the fried prawn dumplings, so have to patiently sit on my hands while the oh-so-tempting steamed prawn dumplings do the rounds.<br /><br />/I often wonder if they use the older prawns for deep frying.<br /><br />//&quot;Steamboat&quot; is another awesome Asian eatin&#39; tradition. But it&#39;s more like the Aussie BBQ - best done at home with friends or family.Big Ramificationshttp://www.i-mockery.com/halloween/bag/monster-initial-generator.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-63327577217602598612010-01-30T22:21:26.909+08:002010-01-30T22:21:26.909+08:00Thanks anon... hit up Welcome Inn on William Street, you can&#39;t go wrong!N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05493493872420484240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-83218814894511646622010-01-30T16:03:57.365+08:002010-01-30T16:03:57.365+08:00Never had Dim Sum but have wanted to &#39;go there&#39; for years!
