Hi, glad to find another Malaysian food blogger. Chicken feet? Maybe I am not a true Chinese when it comes to chicken feet. I like the sauce and other things in this dish so much but strangely, not the chicken feet, which is actualy the heart of the dish, hahaha......

OOOOo...i love chicken feet, the gluey stuffs i was told, is good for skin. The craziest recipe i invented is to cook it with 2 cubes of nam yue and garlic. I tell you, can finish two bowls of rice with the gravy!

Wow, those are really meaty looking chicken feet, full of fat and tendon! The ones we get are are really bony and not as plump. Maybe the chicken in the US just have tired feet.
