Hong Kong style cafes are very popular for a weekend breakfast and if you show up after 10, you'll be waiting in line...yes, lineups out the door for very popular places. This happened to us a couple of weeks ago. So, we ended up at Keung's Restaurant by default as they had just opened and I'm glad we did. I haven't been to Keung's in a while, especially for dinner so I haven't seen their regular menu in a while. They don't offer a breakfast menu so we only had the regular menu to look at and my partner decided on this special congee: salted pork bone congee. It was such a great pick, we all loved it!
What is salted pork bone congee? It's a congee made from pork bones that have been salted and left to marinate for 8 hours before water, rice, and other ingredients are added. The website explains here.
The congee was nicely salted because of the prep to the bones and I liked the combination of conpoy (dried scallop), mustard greens, and thousand year old egg. The congee was seasoned with just the right amount of white pepper.
Not sure if it was the unique bowl it comes in that caught their eye or others were in-the-know way before us, but the next few tables coming in all the got the same congee. They mention there is limited daily supply so get there early!

The fried dough fritters were also quite tasty but I could have just eaten the congee alone, it was that good!
I ordered a pork chop noodle soup dish which was okay; pork chop was fried well and there were quite a bit of noodles. But, the congee stole the show - it really is a must get!
