| - Happy Congee is one of the food court vendors in the food court inside the Field Fresh grocery store. It is definitely the most popular one (longest lineups), but I'm not sure why, as I was not crazy about the food there.
I went with my parents and we got food from 2 places, Happy Congee being one of them. We got an order of Shrimp Rice Rolls ($3.10), a Chinese donut ($1.50) and an order of Pork Pudding and Minced Beef Congee ($4.50).
They accidentally gave us Preserved Egg and Minced Beef Congee instead but my parents didn't realize it until they ate part of it. Dad doesn't like to make a fuss, so he just ate it anyway. My mom said it was one of the worse congee she's ever had. She said it was so bland and she regretted buying it. I don't like congee so I didn't have any.
However, my mom loved the Chinese donut. She said it was so crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. They make them there in front of you so you can see. They are fried in this gigantic vat of oil!
The shrimp rice rolls were ok, but lacking in shrimp. They were hot and the rolls were chewy and not too thick, but at $3.10 I didn't feel like they were much of a deal considering I got another order of shrimp rice rolls from the dim sum counter inside Field Fresh and those were only $2.59 and they had much more shrimp.
I guess I would just recommend this place for their Chinese donuts, not their congee.
Congee 1 star, Chinese donuts 4 stars, shrimp rice rolls 3 stars, so overall 3 stars (rounding up).
