Boston | Will always be willing to wait in line for this bowl of rice

🍚 Big Fun Cafe: Quincy’s Hidden Gem—Clay Pot Rice, Cheung Fun, and All Things Comfort If you’re hunting for solid Cantonese comfort food in Boston’s suburbs, look no further than Big Fun Cafe. Tucked away in Quincy, this spot nails the classics—from clay pot rice to cheung fun (rice rolls)—and has even become a go-to topic with my coworkers. Let’s dive in. 🔥 The Star: Clay Pot Rice This is where they shine. Tried nearly every flavor—beef brisket, cured meats, beef, eel, spare ribs—and they’re all winners. My top pick? The beef brisket version (no surprise, I’m a brisket fanatic). The meat? Tender, melt-in-your-mouth, soaked in savory sauce. The rice? Crispy, golden crust at the bottom—perfect crunch. Pro move: Douse it in their sauce. Salty, umami, and so fragrant—it takes the whole dish to another level. Kid-friendly, adult-approved, just… chef’s kiss. 🥢 More Must-Tries Cheung Fun (Rice Rolls): 🥚 Freshly ground, silky, and soft—exactly how good rice rolls should be. The beef and shrimp fillings are plump and flavorful, but my obsession? The scallion-fried dough roll. Warm, chewy rice wrap crispy fried dough—textural heaven, sweet and salty in all the right ways. Wonton Noodles: 🦐 Wontons burst with juicy, springy shrimp. The brisket here? Again, on point—tender but with a satisfying bite, simmered to soak up all the broth’s flavor. Pair with the thin “doll noodles” and sip the clear, savory soup—comfort in a bowl. Iced Lemon Tea: 🍋 Refreshing, tangy, with a hint of something extra (maybe plum? Not sure, but it works). Balances sweet and sour perfectly—ideal for washing down rich dishes. Big Fun Cafe isn’t fancy, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s all about reliable, homey flavors that keep you coming back. 📍 Big Fun Cafe: 18 Brook St, Quincy. Add this to your “must-try” list—you won’t regret it. #BostonCantoneseFood #ComfortFoodHeaven #ClayPotRiceLovers
