Congee town is one of the after hours meal places that I frequently go to with my family. The restaurant is usually open until midnight and offers rich comfort foods in the essence of congee, noodles and fried rice - the types of food Chinese people associate with "siu yea ??" or late night snack.
Ambience: the lighting of this restaurant is very bright, typical of Chinese restaurants. What's atypical about this restaurant is the background music: abundant are the various pop and rap songs that you won't associate with Chinese restaurants. This makes the pairing a bit odd. Case in point, at some point Eminem was in the background. But it none the less doesn't affect the dining experience.
3/5 stars
Service: the servers were in general very nice. The food was very promptly delivered.
3/5 stars
Food: we ordered a variety of dishes to be shared. Of particular note is the abalone clam and chicken sliced congee. The congee rice was cooked to a very smooth texture that was a delight to taste. The abalone clams were very easy to chew, and added a rich seafood flavour to the congee.
3.5/5 stars
Price: decent price, reflective of the quality of the food served.
Health: I will elaborate more on the congee here. The congee that I got is a delightful treat to those whose stomach would get irritated easily otherwise. It's very easy to digest, and was not heavy in added flavours (although I do taste more salt on the congee here compared to home cooked congee)
3.5/5 stars
Overall, a delightful restaurant for the late night snacker or just regular dinners with the family to taste an authentic Hong Kong style Chinese cuisine.
Overall rating: 3/5 stars
