Becoming an Industrial Benchmark in a Decade

CONGEE TOWN is a classic Cantonese restaurant offering Cantonese-style specialty congees and stir-fries. Since it was open for business in 2011, CONGEE TOWN has been widely loved by different ethnic groups due to its spacious environment, delicious food and affordable prices, making it a top choice for local people who seek leisure, quality dining and a place of gathering.

In the 10 years after its opening, the restaurant has adhered to the principle of “doing the best” in preparing every dish and ensuring consistency of quality and flavors.

Authentically Fresh and Delicious Flavors

CONGEE TOWN incessantly pursues the authenticity of Cantonese flavors. To bring out the characteristics of Cantonese dishes, such as their clearance, freshness, daintiness, tenderness and smoothness, to the highest extent, the restaurant insists upon selecting the best quality ingredients. On a daily basis, fresh and live ingredients are selected and purchased to ensure the most “authentic flavors” are retained.

With their great prowess in cooking, the highly experienced chefs in the restaurant combine fresh ingredients with superb cooking techniques to create the ultimate dainty, smooth and fresh flavors. CONGEE TOWN offers a wide range of specialty congees, including the signature offering Seafood Congee made of a variety of fresh seafood like the fresh scallop, shrimp and grouper. The mixing of multiple high-grade ingredients all in one bowl offers unrivaled fresh sips to diners. The Pork & Gold Preserved Egg Congee, a relatively common home congee, represents a combination of multiple layers of flavors arising from the decorated coriander, preserved eggs and lean meat fibers.

Apart from the signature congees, the restaurant also offers highly diverse dishes ranging from traditional stir-fried noodles, desserts to nourishing drinks. Also, the signature milk tea, which once won a prize in the International Milk Tea Competition, is just out of this world.

What is perfectly matched with the superb flavors is the restaurant’s departure from the entrenched operating model of Cantonese restaurants alongside small alleys. Instead, the restaurant is situated in a large-sized mall. Entering the door, one could instantly perceive a bright, spacious, clean and tidy dining environment, creating a duality of enjoyment in both visual and gustatory terms. 

“Following Heart” as an Operating Mentality and Principle

In the face of an ever-changing market and trend, CONGEE TOWN has been humbly kept doing the most essential jobs and sticking to its “unique skills”, which also explains why the owners of the restaurant are able to keep a steady peace of mind amid changes in the outside world.

The recognition of diners is the biggest success of the restaurant. Mr. and Mrs. Huang always put the reputation of the restaurant in the first place of their operations. Opinions from customers are always carefully listened to, followed by necessary improvements. With respect to team management, they sufficiently trust their employees and maintain a clear division of responsibilities to ensure all work is done properly.

“Doing the most ordinary things to the best is enough”, a line that represents a secret explaining not only for the restaurant’s survival and prosperity but also the sincerity and coolness that the restaurant maintains in front of their customers, facilitating it to achieve a seemingly simple but hard-to-reach goal of “providing diners with the most ordinary dishes but still make them feel satisfied".
