We ordered a serving of chicken feet in black bean sauce.
Tips
culture
凤爪 (literally 'phoenix claws') is the polite menu name for chicken feet. The most famous version is steamed dim sum 豉汁凤爪 (black bean sauce), deep-fried then braised until the skin is gelatinous.
memory
Chinese cuisine often dresses up humble parts with poetic names: chicken = phoenix (凤), so chicken feet become 'phoenix claws'.
