Reviews
- Sky_4The congee here is all slow-simmered and you can totally tell — it's thick and silky, super smooth going down. I got the preserved egg and pork congee (pi dan shou rou zhou), the pork pieces were chunky and the preserved egg had that nice bouncy texture, plus they give you this house-made yogurt on the side that's lightly sweet and cuts through the richness really well. Also tried the five-black congee, which is black beans, black rice, black sesame and all that — the flavors blend together perfectly and it's got just a hint of sweetness. The place itself is simple but cozy, wooden tables and chairs, warm lighting, just a really comfortable vibe. Oh and the beef pancake (niu rou bing) — wow. Crispy outside, super tender inside, and when you bite into it the juice just explodes in your mouth. Eaten with the congee it's honestly so satisfying. Definitely coming back.
