Food shoes
<cue Shoe Tuesday music>
Last night I was down on Wu Jiang lu food street. It’s just to the side of Nanjing road but you’d miss it unless you knew that the place was packed with street stalls selling fried dumplings, seafood rinsed in chopped garlic, kebab pouches that leave grease and drool all over your chin, little Octopus balls covered in seafood dust (better than they sound) loads of good stuff.
I was a nervous wreck and couldn’t enjoy my tucker though because the pressure was mounting for shoe tuesday and I hadn’t found a thing. Eyes fixed on the ground, scanning for quality footwear, I was out there until 2:45am on the grind before I finally found a couple of interesting specimens.
- A a lady in some spiffy snakeskin high heels.

- A dashing young chap wearing some kind of bizarre brogue / boat shoe hybrid.
Exhausted, I went home to my bed, with visions of slingbacks dancing in my head.
- Octopus balls
- Oysters + garlic
- Asstd seafood
- Yang's fried dumplings
- He had a manbag
- Bet them jeans get dirty
