Best Chinese restaurant in Zetland on all you need to know about chicken feet

Remember that red bowl of little claws we all came across when we go yum cha? It is called the “Phoenix Claws”! The fact that chicken feet do not consist of muscles but only skin and tendons, it gives it a distinct gelatinous texture from the usual meat. Do you know that other than in Chinese cuisine, other countries like Indonesia, Korea, Russia, Peru and Mexico have their own variations of cooking chicken feet?

Chicken feet is not just a yum cha dish, it is also a beer snack, cold dish, soup or main dish. The typical ones that we have during yum cha are deep fried, steamed, then braised in savory abalone sauce or fermented black bean sauce. People usually buy the packaged chicken feet from Asian supermarkets to eat them as beer snacks! In southern chicken, they make soup using chicken feet with raw peanuts.

But after all, nothing beats the hot ones that we serve in East Phoenix Chinese Restaurants. Come dine at the best restaurant in Zetland, East Phoenix Chinese restaurant soon! We serve delicious “Phoenix Claws” everyday during lunch!
