At Congee Village extra special care goes into the selection
and preparation of our dishes.
Original ancient recipes are the common ground for pretty much everything in our menu and of course the quality of the food is our main goal.
Selection of fresh and natural ingredients, cooking times, cleaneness etc are all priorities in the Congee Village kitchen.
This is not your average restaurant. All our employees are original Chinese and so is our food.
If you would like to take a look at our menu please point your mouse and click on the MENU button.
Cantonese cuisine is considered to be China's finest regional cooking style.
There is an antique Cantonese saying: "Anything that walks, swims, crawls, or flies with its back to heaven is edible". If you want to learn more about Chinese Cantonese cuisine please look for the book "The Chinese Kitchen by Eileen Yin-Fei Lo".
