While I spent a few days at my parents this weekend, they made a nice pot of congee for the boys and me.  I always love congee, and even though I make it myself for the boys at home, I still love the kind I grew up with.  There’s something really comforting and soothing about it. 

For those of you who are not familiar with what congee is, it’s basically rice cooked in a lot of water with various ingredients.  Congee used to be for the poor, it was served in times of drought where food are hard to come by.  And now, it has become a popular breakfast food for many Chinese people.  There are so many ways to cook congee, some with pork, or with beef, or with duck eggs, or with vegetables, or with fish.  Maybe I will write my recipe to share with you next time.  As for now, let’s just enjoy some mouth watering pictures.
