1. Sang Kee Congee Expert
Sang Kee Congee Expert is widely renowned for its Cantonese-style congee made to order. The beef and fish congee are must-try dishes, and even more flavorful when paired with some “youtiao” (Chinese fried dough sticks). This restaurant opens at 6:30 AM and is often packed by then—if you don’t arrive early, be prepared for a long wait.
