“ Try the parrot fish belly congee (or the King crab one); they come with the charred wok hei flavour which is really unique and yummy. The fish belly comes with bones, but it is firm and delish. Avoid the cheung fun - too mushy and gluey. Efficient service. ”
“ The signature parrot fish belly is really good! The wok hei really makes the congee flavoursome. $11.50. The Claypot liver was perfectly done. Fried you tiao /doughsticks are consistently lightly crisp and big! Century eggs are another must order. 2 dollars with lovely molten centres very HK style. The scallop porridge is more costly at $18 but a generous portion of scallops. ”
“ Came here for a late night snack after a movie. Ordered abalone congee, scallops, and frog legs. The congee itself was pretty average but the variety and freshness of the seafood was good for the price point. The frog legs were a surprisingly exotic item on the menu and it certainly didnt disappoint. Definitey try them when coming here. Overall, a decent snack place that wont break the wallet. ”
“ pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold, pease porridge in the pot, nine days old; some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it in the pot, nine days old. mui kee's congee hot, mui kee's never cold, mui kee's congee in the pot, wok hei ho! i like it hot, no one likes it cold, i like it in the pot, wok hei ho! do come at least 15mins before opening for the least wait. limited advance reservation seats available, call to enquire. If you are looking for the queue, do not proceed to the main entrance. It's not there. Instead head towards shaw centre taxi/pick up and drop off point. there you will either see a queue, meaning you have to wait at least 30mins or the queuing barrier and sign boards. if you intend to buy just for takeaway, head straight in and order at the cashier. the menu is pretty comprehensive as compared to when they were a pop up at botanic garden's casa verde. appetizers like century egg, an acquired taste but go oh so well with congee. their fried dace fish cake comes with a clam ginger dipping sauce which will definitely whet your appetite. but their savoury, smooth, soothing congee is what you are looking for here, even though they have cheong fun and noodles as well. i do recommend you stick to congee if you have never had it before. and if you have tried it before, i am sure that is what you will stick to ordering again. the chef recommended fish belly congee is also what i recommend. look for the additional wok hei pan icon annotations, these are dishes that will endear you to their congee even more, just like when charring imparts a greater depth in taste, so too their wok hei. i also had the privilege to indulge in their alaskan crab congee with added fish belly(at a supplement). fresh ingredients first sautéed for that wok hei and then cooked together with their congee to blend them into one comforting dish. you will need those fingers, although they do strategically cut the crab pieces for easy access to them sweet meat! my only wish is for them to provide wet wipes for that $22 bowl. not too much to ask for, is it? if the queue isn't too long, it's definitely worth paying the premium for their bowl of congee. after all, it's by the les amis group, quality is assured! ”
