Yongchun Cantonese Porridge Introduction
This Yongchun Cantonese Congee restaurant has been run by the family since the grandfather's time. At its peak, both the grandfather and father operated two stores simultaneously. The cooking methods and flavors have been passed down through generations and are quite different from those in Taiwan; you won't see any rice grains, as it is more like a silky soup. However, the ingredients are plentiful, featuring special fish balls from Kinmen, made from freshly kneaded fish paste, each about two centimeters in diameter, soft and fragrant. The Cantonese congee also includes minced meat mixed with scallion pearls (seemingly to complement the texture and size of the minced meat) and finely chopped water chestnuts. Since the minced meat is directly added to the pot, the meat juices remain sweet and encapsulated within the meatballs, becoming a signature feature.
