"I discovered this place with great congee!" ... A excitedly told me one hot afternoon. "In IFC? I asked" rather bemused ... I didn't know there was a congee shop in IFC. Lovely!
So turns out the Tasty Congee & Noodle Wantun Shop from Hung Hom has a branch now in the IFC. The congee was indeed good, though both times they ran out of the fish fillet with spring onion congee that A wanted. The wantuns (why on earth are they spelt that way?) were indeed tasty, the broth was shrimpy and meaty all at once.
Still doesn't beat my Wong Chi Kei for price, convenience or comfort factor, but definitely on the list for "to be visited" especially as a last stop before boarding the airport express outta Hong Kong.

| Dry wonton noodles. Messy but the best way to serve it! |
My favourite congee place still remains Wong Chi Kei, the Hong Kong out post of a Macanese institution. Old style dark wooden decor, it has a friendly brisk service and great location just next to Tsui Wah near Lan Kwai Fong. Must try: deep fried wontons, crab congee, beef brisket dry noodles. The congees are large, so it's worth sharing with a friend.
