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.

man i am SO sad i’m not making it to shangers this summer . . . but tell me, any suggestions for the busan seafood/fish market? (i’ll be in busan for a couple of days.)
The pressures of blogging mounting. Must.. drink… chardonnay….
Solid shoe tuesday. Cheers.
I had a shoe once.
James have you spoken to anyone about this Foot Fetish thing your going through?
I must admit I drool a bit at the sight of those delicious Yangs dumplings,keep up the food photos
where’s the theme tune innit? Shoe Tuesday is a bit diluted with food this week, are you trying to wean us off it?
those are some hot snakeskin heels.
Food and Shoe Connoisseur, you would make any woman proud to know your shoes. Perhaps a role in the next “Devil Wears Prada” sequal.
WOW, so wujiang road is open again with food!?!?!?!?!
LOVELY, am going there often and eat eat eat
no foot fetish! I just like to have a theme, we all need a little somethin somethin’ on Tuesdays right?
Angie- I don’t remember what I ate there, but at the other fish market in Seoul I had some good tuna. It ain’t cheap, but it’s still decent value.
A balance of food and shoes seems to please most of the people most of the time then- and shoppers, it’s never been closed to my knowledge, they just got rid of a lot of the stalls that were just set up on the street.
