Yongchun Cantonese Congee Introduction
This restaurant, Yongchun Cantonese Porridge, has been in operation since the grandfather's generation. During its peak, both the grandfather and father operated two stores simultaneously, passing down cooking techniques and flavors through generations. The preparation and taste are notably different from those found in Taiwan, as the porridge grains are not visible; it is more of a thick soup. However, it is not lacking in ingredients, featuring special small fish balls from Kinmen, made from freshly kneaded fish paste and about two centimeters in diameter, offering a soft texture and a fragrant fish flavor. The Cantonese porridge also includes minced meat mixed with chopped scallions (presumably to match the texture and size of the minced meat) and finely chopped water chestnuts. Since the minced meat balls are directly dropped into the pot, the savory juices remain encapsulated within, becoming a significant feature of the dish.
