Sun Kee Chicken Congee — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

My Japanese friend was captivated by the poster with the fried rice with prawns on it outside the restaurant so I reluctantly went in knowing that these are product shots.

Anyway, my other friend had to do the ordering as they didn't really speak English.

It felt like they were onto a winning formula with their chicken congee and needed to build a "siu chow" menu around it to legitimise their business.

Get the chicken congee with a side of chicken to go and you won't be...

The chicken porridge is decent, if a bit watery and on the oily side from the chicken, but these may be pluses depending on your tastes.

The 炸兩 is made fresh and comes out as a crispy centre wrapped around a warm fluffy blanket of 腸粉 （imagine a sheet of lasagna made from rice, with a delightful chewiness). The combination of textures and the addition of sweet soy sauce makes for an amazing...
