Like many men my age, I love a good Yum Cha. Salty, spicy and fast! This food is instant gratification served on a cart with a cold beer. Amongst the prawn dumplings, salt and pepper calamari and football shaped treats are Fung Jiao or better known to the Yum Cha expert as Chicken's feet! Are they serious? Surely we are scraping the bottom of the barrel or chicken coup to be more precise if this is our only option. We may as well eat its arse whilst we are it. No one can be that hungry that they are happy to eat at chooks foot. YUCK!

I was first introduced to the world of Yum Cha by one of my best mates, Richard Chee Quee. Cheeks is half Chinese, half Fijian and ‘fully' Australian! A superb combination and example of how assimilation works best. Cheeks has often stated that an upside of our multi-cultural society allows him the freedom to choose and celebrate different parts of his heritage when it suits him best. He said, on one hand, I am happy to celebrate Chinese New Year with a Yum Cha, chase a big red dragon around China Town and then claim to be a dinky-di Aussie following the COVID 19 outbreak. By the way, for all you ‘do-gooders', we are both joking!
