Yongchun Cantonese Porridge Introduction
This Yongchun Cantonese Congee has been operated by the family since the grandfather's generation. At its peak, both the grandfather and father managed two shops simultaneously, and the cooking techniques and flavors have been passed down through generations. It is quite different from the congee found in Taiwan, as you won't see rice grains; instead, it is a smooth soup. However, there are plenty of ingredients, including special fish balls from Kinmen, made from fish paste and hand-rolled on the same day, measuring about two centimeters in diameter, resulting in a soft texture with a fishy aroma. The Cantonese congee also includes minced meat mixed with scallions (seemingly to match the texture and size of the minced meat) and finely chopped water chestnuts. The minced meat is added directly to the pot, where the meat juices remain sweet and envelop the meat balls, making it a unique specialty.
