Old Xiguan Congee Shop

×Sampan Congee

Why you must eat itWhite congee cooked until the rice dissolves, scattered with sliced fish, tofu skin, fried rice crisps, peanuts, spring onion and greens. The hot congee is ladled over the toppings so the fish half-cooks on residual heat. It is light and lightly salted, and the crunch and onion keep it from tiring. Good for a morning or a small hunger, stirred up from the bottom with the spoon.

A Guangzhou congee named for the days it was sold from small boats on Lizhiwan. Today the Xiguan congee shops serve it year-round. Toppings vary by house; prices and hours are a guide. The same shop usually offers other congees too. Some stay open late, but check on the spot.
