Yongchun Cantonese Porridge Introduction
This Yongchun Cantonese Congee has been run by the family since grandfather's time. At its peak, both grandfather and father operated two shops simultaneously, and the cooking methods and flavors have been passed down through generations. It is quite different from what you find in Taiwan; you won't see grains of congee as it is a smooth soup. However, it is not lacking in ingredients, including special small fish balls from Kinmen, made from fresh fish paste and about two centimeters in diameter, which are soft and flavorful. The Cantonese congee also includes minced meat mixed with scallions (which seems to complement the texture and size of the minced meat) and finely chopped water chestnuts. The minced meat is immediately cooked in the pot, with the juices still sweetly enveloping the meatballs, making it a unique feature.
