Fish larm congee
The fish larm is fatty and smoth! It provides me with soya sause and ginger which is very good in taste! The congee is very smooth too, it boil for long and all the rice are broken already! Congee is very hot and just boiled when u ordered!

Beef ball noodles

Beef ball is very spongy and I think it’s really hit by hands! Not much MSG, I won’t feel thirsty when I finished the noodles. Noodles are Al dentl, no strange taste of alkaline water.

The standard of congee of this 'stall' does fluctuate. I once went there for a bowl of fish congee only to find that the fish meat is stale. This afternoon I try again but this time it's a lot better. You can feel the crunch when you eat the peices of fish, which are generous in portions. Not a bad deal for a meal of HK$32.

I woke up with a craving for something soupy...and thought of Sang Kee. I dragged my poor brother out with me to Sheung Wan, promising him some good congee (though I had never been). After getting slightly lost in the unfamiliar streets I finally found Sang Kee (there are a few branches around the same area, but each specialise in something different e.g. rice vermicelli or beef brisket). Sang Kee Congee was small and full at 11am, but we were just arriving as some were leaving, and were seated amongst other grandpas and grandmas quietly slurping their huge bowls of congee....and we knew we had arrived somewhere special.

shredded pork and century egg congee $25 (large)
Lean pork and century egg is a common and popular combination, and Sang Kee's made for the best version I've had (which I can remember). the consistency of the congee was perfect - thin and rice is cooked to the point of being only tiny particles left. I couldn't detect the use of cornstarch or other thickeners either. The ingredients gave the plain congee flavour, and it was slightly salted so it was really enjoyable on its own.

fish belly and sliced fish congee (yu-lam and yu-wun) $32 (large)
There was plenty of fish belly (i.e. fish attached to bones) in this big bowl of congee, which was much plainer and loaded with spring onions in comparison to the lean pork-and-century-egg-combination above. The fish itself, being white, does not impart much flavour to the congee so the bowl of soy sauce is there for diners to dip the fish for more 'taste'. The consistency of the congee is the same as above - thin, with the rice 'broken'.

From the two the pork and century egg definitely outshone the fish belly/sliced fish congee, though both are indeed different and had equally good congee base.

pan-fried fish (dace) cakes $10
These pan-fried fish cakes were a disappointment (at least, on my visit any way), and don't think I would order them again on a next visit. Fish cakes itself were soft and all I could taste was oil.... i.e. the fish cakes were a sponge which absorbed way too much oil! (ps. should have ordered those fried dough sticks/crullers instead!)

Fish cakes aside Sang Kee definitely did not disappoint and those huge bowls of congee provided a filling and comforting breakfast.

Last friday, I went to this shop to taste the cognee. Even though it was around 12:45pm, it was already really full. Many people queued outside the shop. In the shop, we you can order noodles or cognee. Both of them are really good. This time, i tried the fish cognee. The fish bone cognee is fresh and tasty. Under the recent weather, it is worth to have a lunch with cognee.

my sister really wanted to have some congee, so i looked up the best congee place and found sang kee congee shop. we decided to give it a try yesterday. they are famous for their fish congee. my sister and i are not too into fish congee, so we shared a large beef and pork congee with preserved egg 牛肉皮蛋瘦肉粥($33). we also had some fried bread sticks 油炸鬼($8 for 2 plates), but they were already cold and therefore, tough. as for the congee, it was flavorful but didn't quite blow me away. they supposed to have cooked the congee for over 6 hours. next time, i'll definitely try the fish congee.

Ordered 2 kinds of congee

Small Pig's heart and liver congee $23
The pig's heart very crunchy, the liver very tasty, overall very good

Regular Carp's Belly and Chicken $29
The Carp's belly quite fresh today, not taste of mud either. The chicken is quite good although I prefer chicken with bones

The liver congee tastes stronger and better probably because of the ingredients are marinated different.

The vegetables with tofu paste $10 is very huge

Overall tastes very good, especially the soy sauce with ginger and scallion, however there is MSG, plenty of it.

Note: After lunch time, all congees Less $3 each
