Start your morning with a warm bowl of baby oyster congee at Chan Kan Kee Chiu Chow Restaurant (11 Queen's Road West) or savor a bowl of fish congee with spring onions, ginger slices and soy sauce at (my all-time favorite) Sang Kee Congee Shop (7-9 Burd Street, corner of Hillier Street). Congee is a mild-flavored rice porridge cooked with a variety of different ingredients and popular with locals as the first meal of the day. The last time we were at Sang Kee, the waitress rushed into the street after us saying "you left some money on the table!" When I mentioned that she should keep the change as a tip, she insisted goodheartedly that it was not necessary.
