Congee Queen was closed! Booo...
As a backup plan, I headed over to Congee Star for take-out. Meh.
I ordered the rice noodles with beef, onions, and bean sprouts. The noodles were all broken up. The flavour was alright but who likes to eat short little bits of rice noodles?
I also ordered the seafood and wintermelon congee. This was okay in terms of ingredients, but it was bland. Me calling something bland is not a good thing.
Lastly (which was the biggest disappointment of the night) was the yin yang rice dish. This consists of egg fried rice half topped with chicken in a sweet and sour sauce and the other half a white, creamy sauce with shrimp. The ratio of chicken and shrimp to the amount of sauces was quite pathetic. It was like 95% sauce and 5% proteins. Sad.
I liked that all the sauces were put into separate containers for take-out. I think this is the norm. The service was pretty good too, not the usual curtness at Asian restaurants. It's too bad, if only the food was better.
