Oriental Congee

What is Oriental Congee? Situated inside the Kennedy Plaza at 2347 Kennedy Road (Unit 106) just north of Sheppard Avenue East in Scarborough, Oriental Congee is an unpretentious Cantonese congee and noodle house. Featuring bright dining room seating, fast-paced service, and steaming stockpots, the restaurant serves as a comforting destination for Scarborough diners looking for authentic, traditional Hong Kong breakfast and late-night supper staples.

Oriental Congee Menu & What to Order The heart of the menu is its velvety rice porridge, simmered for hours until the grains break down into a smooth, comforting base. The classic order is the Preserved Egg and Lean Pork Congee or the Sampan Seafood Congee, paired indispensably with a golden Crispy Chinese Fried Dough Fritter (youtiao) for dipping. Diners also order the freshly steamed Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls doused in sweetened soy sauce, Wontons in Spicy Chili Oil, and wok-fried Dry Beef Hor Fun accompanied by strong Hong Kong hot milk tea.
