In search of Richmond’s best chicken feet

The last time I was in Great Britain, I spent two weeks searching for the best fish & chips in Scotland which ended up coming from a trailer on the pier in Tobermory. Well, that story is going to end up in Islands magazine in September (I hope you’ll look for it).

So last night I asked The Girl in the Purple Stilettos at Shanghai River Restaurant what the best places for dim sum were in Richmond.

“This is very good,” she said.

“But there are others you like better?”

She smiled. “It depends on what you are looking for and how adventurous you are. Do you like chicken feet?” she asked.

I told her I’d never had chicken feet. But I was up for giving them a go.

“Meet me at Fisherman’s Terrace tomorrow morning,” she said. “At ten. We will have chicken feet.”

By the way, The Girl in the Purple Stilettos has a name. It’s Mijune Pak. She also has her own foodie blog site called, appropriately enough, Follow Me Foodie. So tomorrow morning, Mijune and I are going to share chicken feet. And perhaps much more.
