| - After paying respects to the deceased, it is a tradition that my relatives and I gathered to have lunch at Congee Queen. Our meal consisted of Fried Dough, Fried Sweet Dough, Seafood Congee, Shrimp and Black Fungus Soup Dumplings, Ying Yang Rice, Chow Fun, and Stir Fried Vermicelli Noodles.
You Tiao is a long golden-brown deep-fried strip of dough, commonly served with either soybean milk or congee. Fried Sweet Dough is a golden-brown deep-fried elliptical shaped dough. I liked how the Fried Dough ('You Tiao') and Fried Sweet Dough ('ngau lei sou') were chewy with a soft interior and a crunchy exterior.
The Seafood Congee consisted of boiling hot flavorful rice porridge with surfer clam, shrimp, scallop, salmon, and white fish.
The Shrimp and Black Fungus Soup Dumplings ('Shui Jiao') consisted of wonton wrapper filled with shrimp and black fungus) cooked in a salty but tasty chicken stock.
The Ying Yang Rice consisted of ying (tomato, egg, and chicken sauce) and yang (shrimp, peas, and egg white sauce) over rice.
The Chow Fun consisted of hor fun (wide rice noodles) stir fried with beef, onions, bean sprouts, and soy sauce.
The Stir Fried Vermicelli Noodles consisted of vermicelli noodles stir fried with shrimp, eggs, onions, and bell peppers. I highly recommend this noodle dish.
