Editors’ notes
“The fish floss and braised pork rice is very delicious, braised pork is with shallots aroma, I didn’t order the congee because the congee here is actually rice with soup, I’d prefer their milk fish skin and oyster soup. Service is nice :)”
“It’s totally my kind of breakfast since I’m more into rice than flour-based dishes. The congee is light but full of flavor, with fresh seafood like milkfish and oysters. It feels simple, comforting, and very local. The place looks low key, but you can tell it’s a favorite among locals. A perfect way to start the day in…”

“The congee is OK, cannot match the Cantonese style. The rice dumpling is covered with minced meat sauce.”
