Vancouver Best Eats - Congee Noodle House

Here's the first instalment of our Best Eats in Vancouver collection. This is the Congee Noodle House, our regular stop in the neighbourhood for Chinese comfort food. We've been eating this dish for years in a variety of places, but Congee Noodle House has the best in the city. Not only great congee, but wonderful traditional BBQ meats (pork, duck, chicken) , awesome dumplings, and even some live seafood!

Nice info on the congee background being poverty/peasant food. It makes me think that's it's a common thing across cultures where you see people in the past turn "low quality" ingredients to good food. You look at com tam(broken rice) in Vietnam where the broken rice granules where the leftovers from harvest. The poor people managed to turn that into a delicacy and signature Vietnamese dish. Then there's red beans and rice in the historical southern part of United States. Haggis in Scotland. It's a reflection of poor people's creative adaptation to make the best of what they have in life.

Thanks for the comment! I think that’s accurate - fried rice, pot pie, various stews are all examples of using whatever you have and taking a small amount if meat and extending it to feed the whole family. And what you eat regularly with your family becomes ‘comfort’ food.

Thanks for the comment! We have a lot of plans for more cheap eats, even if it’s not so cheap in Vancouver. Have a great time in Bali and don’t forget to check out the beach breakfast in Sanur!
