Amazingly the queue wasn't as long as I anticipated - I'm guessing the Sunday crowd wanted a little lie in. We went with a combo of sliced fish + scallop ($14.50), sliced beef ($12.50) and the homemade pork meatball ($12.50) congees. After being warned that the wait would be 30 minutes, we sat patiently sipping rather mediocre coffees from the stall next to Mui Kee (don't bother unless severely caffeine deprived).

The congee was worth the wait though! Smooth and flavourful. I think I read somewhere that they use soy milk? Is that why it's so smooth? Each come with a crispy youtiao and half a runny century egg. Of the three bowls, the sliced fish + scallop was the winner. I never knew porridge could have wok hei. 🤤 This was worth the early wake up call to get here for 7.30am. Also, I never knew but Casa Verde is the perfect spot to dog-watch. So. Many. Doggos.

Note: drunken chicken is only available after 9am.
