Why People Fly Across the World for Her Offal Congee | City Bites Shunde Edition Ep3
Unlike other Chinese cuisines, Cantonese food is all about savoring the main ingredients themselves. So how do they cook fish and pork offals so that customers taste their freshness? We hear from two chefs from Shunde, the heart of the Pearl River Delta.
This is the third episode of City Bites, where we dive into the food that’s unique to a Chinese city, and its roots.

In Korea pig blood jelly and pork offal with mustard greens are a hangover cure, and tastes lovely
My neighbour has been selling pork offal congee for over 30 years. Well, used to, he had to stop for health reasons. It was the best congee I ever had :(
Yay for Cantonese again! My language! 😊
Wow, major props to this congee OG, she is stellar
Hi Lyn, great series! I knew nothing about ShunDe before this series -- now at least I know a little bit! Keep up the amazing work, excited for the next edition of City Bites!

omg hopefully next time i can go China I can visit her shop i dont know if she will still be working though - she works such long hours for her age - pray that her health stays well for a long time
Love congee. This looks delicious. Big respect to this lady.
This is magic to my heart. My mom is from Shunde and I have never been before...
Another great video, I also find them so very interesting. Thank you 🙂
I think Cantonese food is the best.

Thanks for the video, I never knew about this city! My family is from taishan but I never had the chance to visit many other places in the area except guangzhou
Love Chinese cuisine ❤❤❤
Great video keep pumping them out
finally learned about congee the last year and started making it at home. this stuff looks amazing and want to try it
She is old but still hard working, I hope she will never get sick. I love China. I wish to go there in the future when I become rich to visit places and to try their food.
That offal congee looks delicious and was all in up until she said leave the brains for last. Oh don't worry I will.

The texture is pretty gnarly but it taste like soft tofu.
My favourite type of congee! I use pork stomach or beef tripes for mine, pork heart is also very good! Top with chiu chow chilli oil, black fungus and plenty of fried garlic and scallion - absolutely delicious and so comforting!
Hard working auntie ☺️
Looks super good
Lols. My mom makes pretty good cantonese congee. My mom styling cooking is just like din tai feng. LOLs.
that triad at the 50sec mark was about to mess the camera person up
Ofal congee is the best. We have the oldest chinatown in the world and we have our own versions of the chinese originals, although different, the idea, ingenuity, and heart passed on. Chinese food is all about adaptation.
Congee is my favorite and is my GO to breakfast in the morning. It also has good medical properties if you're constipated lol so it contains fibre.
That with some Chicken Tenders 💣
Do come to Malaysia some day!
great series

Love congee
Never had congee but very interested … I’m part Japanese but I’m not sure if we had this in our culture… also born in Gaum
Ground pork 🔥
Watching this at 2am is 😢
Can you provide links to these places, either website or some map site? Would like to bookmark.
Well my initial thought was at least all of the pig is being used...in the US majority don't eat any of those innards mentioned... I'd like to try a congee tho
Next video could you make rice cray pot
actually it's very easy to make smooth creamy jok or congee, keep stirring the pot until all the rice grains break up or if you have access to a rice merchant get him to sell you broken rice grains so with broken rice grains you stir less while cooking and it's less tiring. But in some places the customers they want to see whole rice grains in their jok if they see broken grains they may accuse you of supplying sub standard ingredients. The supermarkets only accept whole rice grains so broken rice grains the rice merchant sorts out and will supply to others who make radish/turnip cake 蘿蔔糕 or 水粿.

Another method I understand is to use a mortar and pestle to grind the grains down before cooking.
as someone who made offals beyond liver at home, the fact they wash it so intensely, mad respect. I am never cooking anything but Liver at home. It's a lotta work. easier to just eat it at a restaurant so someone can make a living out of it. not worth it to make it at home in small quantities. Steak, go ahead, make at home, its so easy unless its the top end stuff that's difficult to source.

Liver is not difficult I have no idea why you think that
i am surprised by how well i can understand her cantonese, i can't understand hong kongers most of the time now!
👍🍻😁
Throw in some jerky 💣
Im sure this congee is very good but I cant help if I hear "offal congee", it's going to cause a lot of confusion that people will think they heard, "awful congee"
I miss Victoria's narration!

She's from Shunde, not Hong Kong. Legally, her name would be romanized by how her name is pronounced in Mandarin.
