There are actbroccoliite a lot of cafes in South Korea that serve Western style breakfast like eggs and sausages on toast. But if you are in Asia, ccongee is usually the way to start your day. I actually don't know the name of this place we went to.The name is in Chinese which translates to something along the lines of good taste. So the congee must be good here?
Well it's very hard to screw up congee, the worst it could be is tasteless and watery. Melvin ordered the king crab and I ordered the abalone mushroom. This place was pretty busy considering it was 10:30am on a weekday (I'm definitely on holiday mode, my meals are 2 hours later than they should be). Lots of people at a random time is definitely a good sign for tasty food.
Melvin's came out first and it looked good. Lots of crab meat and a generous sprinkle of seaweed and roasted sesame seeds. I was also very pleased with the selection of pickled banchan. They were the perfect combination with congee. Without adding the sides, both flavours were delicious. The crab slightly sweet and the abalone had just the right level of flavour. Maybe it's the way it's served elsewhere but abalone dishes tend to be quite salty.
Overall the congee was really good. One of the best comfort foods on a winters day.
