Secret Congee - Maltkiln Lane

Amazing congee ? flavorful, and not too spicy (although you can adjust heat to taste). We ordered the Tom Yum Shrimp congee and the Braised Pork Belly congee. The Tom Yum Shrimp was one of the best soups I?ve ever had!

I?d give a 4.5 stars. BTW, currently they share space with the juice bar, and dine in is in the outdoors space with individual ?sheds? with roof overhead so it?s rain proof. Congee is great with good flavor (due to the chicken broth) and good consistency. The menu has a good variety of toppings and congee flavors I can see the creativity of the owner!! I ordered the Seabass congee, an unusually choice indeed, and the fish was very tasty (in 2 big pieces). Fireddough????was just okay you can try if you?ve never had. It?s in small pieces and very crunchy and airy, which seems to be more of a localized preference because a lot of people like crunchiness nowadays? It?s not like the authentic ones Iused to have though. A good Chinese You Tiao, should be just a bit crispy on the outside but more chewy inside thanks to the glutinous dough. Chili oil tastes like the store bought ???(Lao Gan Ma) chili oil. So if you really like it, driveto an Asian supermarket and ask for Lao Gan Ma the one with peanuts. Plus, adding chili oil into congee is not very conventional from my experience, so if you prefer a more balanced and mild flavor like congee is supposed to be IMO, feelfree to skip the chili oil. Because everything gravitates toward the chili oil once you add it especially THIS chili oil. Ginger and green onions might be too much and overtook the congee a bit, at least from the one I got. Ideally, I?dprefer fewer ginger slices since it?s a strong flavor. The staff is very nice and kept the wait line calm since it was quite busy during the weekend. I have been missed having congee for breakfast like when I was little, and it?s a goodplace for some nostalgia! Especially in a rainy day like today!

Was skeptical but this was delicious! Just like any jook my grandmother would make me. There chicken is pretty flavorful too. If you want to try something different the sweet potato vegetarian one was honestly an Asian fusion I wasn?t mad about. Will have to go back.

Love the staff that work here. My partner and I have been coming to Secret Congee since their former location. We?ve tried pretty much everything they have on the menu and everything has been delicious! So happy they found a new home and we will gladly travel here to get solid congee.

Delicious congee! Super healthy and light. I love the different varieties they have on the menu. Youtiao crispy fried dough is a must with the congee. And staff are very friendly too.
