1. Cantonese-style congee

Congee, or rice porridge, is found all over China. However, it is unlikely that anyone puts more effort into congee than the Cantonese. Raw ingredients are put in continuously boiling rice porridge until they become soft and their flavours are infused in the entire mixture.

Noodles and congee (rice porridge) are often served under the same roof. Some of the more traditional restaurants that serve both will have two open kitchens flanking the entrance. One kitchen will be dedicated solely to making congee, the other to making noodles.

Congee ranges from the plain starchy variety to the lighter versions that include vegetables and meat and even hot pots in which the ingredients are cooked in a congee soup. The huge variety of noodles and congee available can be enjoyed 24 hours a day in the city. In fact, these are popular late night eats.

For a great cheap meal in Hong Kong, head to Kowloon. While it may be less glamorous than the Island, it holds some of the best-kept secrets of Cantonese cuisine. As the traditional home for Hong Kong immigrants, its culinary tradition spans many nations. Here is one of the best restaurants in Kowloon reflecting the area’s rich culture.

1. Spring Deer

Spring Deer is often been overlooked by the guidebooks. But after customers make their way up a rickety stairwell and into the bright dining room, it becomes clear why this restaurant has queues that can stretch around the block. North Chinese and Pekinese meals are a specialty here. Peking Duck is a standout but there’s plenty of other roast pork, beef and duck dishes to choose from.

Just 5 minutes walk from the Big'N'Central apartment!
