congee breakfast




This place is like crack, once you go you always want to go back, I'm talking about Congee Village, I've told you about this place before. Took some friends there for breakfast just this morning and while we didnt take pictures of all we had I can easily list it for you. We had three different congees: seafood congee, pork duck and chicken congee and frog congee, all three were delicious and subtle with the mild congee flavor of ginger and cilantro contrasting with the various meats cooked to perfection. We also had some salt and pepper squid and both steamed and fried dumplings. You cannot find a better breakfast loaded with more flavor than this.



It was time to clean the chinese spinach.
