🔥 Richmond’s BEST Congee Hot Pot Spot

📍Garden City Hot pot 8788 McKim Way #1205, Richmond After a glow-up renovation, this decade-old Cantonese hot pot joint is serving next-level congee broth + crispy fish – all at shockingly fair prices. 🏆 Why It’s a Must-Try ✔ Revamped menu – same heritage flavors, elevated quality ✔ Congee broth magic – seafood-infused, creamy, and warming ✔ Charity-level meat prices – $30-40 for premium cuts 🥢 What We Devoured 🍲 Seafood Congee Broth ★★★★★ Silky, briny, umami-packed – perfect for Vancouver’s damp chill. Pro move: 1️⃣ Sip pure broth first 2️⃣ Cook fish/meat → add fried dough sticks → drink again (flavor EXPLOSION) 🐟 Crispy Meat Fish ★★★★★ The star! Bouncy, sweet, zero muddiness – dip in house chili-soy sauce for perfection. 🥩 US Wagyu & Angus Beef ★★★★★ $30-40 plates could feed 3 – marbled, melt-on-tongue, makes congee meatier. 🦐 Scallop-Shrimp Paste ★★★★☆ Pounded-to-order – springy with oceanic sweetness. 🍚 Stir-Fried Sticky Rice ★★★★☆ Wok-kissed, chewy, not soggy – carbs worth the calories. 🍮 Black Sesame Sago Pudding ★★★★☆ Warm, nutty, lightly sweet – ideal hot pot finale. 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Skip DIY sauces – their house seafood dip (chili + soy) is gold. ✔ Weekday visits – no wait, better service. ✔ Leftover hack: Take congee home → next-day porridge = free bonus meal. 💰 Damage: ~$50-70 for 2 (with meat + seafood overload) #VancouverEats #CantoneseHotPot #CongeeHeaven
