| - This is my home base for quick, inexpensive Cantonese cuisine. Yes, it's because I live very near it. But even if I didn't, I would still come here for the inexpensive options.
Based off the Congee Wong formula, Congee Time does its best to mimick the setup. I don't know if the management is related to the Congee Wong enterprise, but the inside decor is almost exact - including the centralized cashier.
Again, as in my Congee Wong review, when considering three points:
1) Cantonese authenticity
2) Price for quantity
3) Taste for Price.
Congee Time, like Congee Wong is a hit.
However, when comparing similar dishes, Congee Time's chefs don't get it like Congee Wong's. Something's missing. That's not to say this place is subpar...infact, there are quite a few dishes here that stand on its own.
I really enjoy:
1) Fried rice noodles with chili - bewarned, this is NOT a vegetarian dish - has shrimps, pork, chinese sausage...and an almost southeast asian flavour. Definitely one of my favourites.
2) Half roasted chicken
3) Half roasted duck (very salty and fatty but that's why I like it)
4) Congee - preserved egg (black) with pork
5) Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce
6) Beef fried rice is very good here
I'm glad this place is so close to home. I love it.
Authentic Cantonese cuisine steps away.
Highly recommend this place.
