The best congee in Toronto is like getting a warm hug on a cold day. Long-established as the epitome of home-style Chinese cooking, congee is also a particularly popular "mom's remedy" to those who are feeling under the weather. In fact, I know many mothers that would express shock at the notion of eating anything OTHER than congee when I'm unwell.
Congee is also well-known as a comfort food, a term that is clearly viewed very differently than in traditional North American cooking that puts dishes such as grilled cheese or poutine in that same category.
It may not be the most flavourful (or aesthetically appealing) dish out there, but if you're looking for a traditional, humble, yet satisfying Chinese dish, you could do worse than these bowls of what is essentially seasoned watery rice.
Here is the list of the best congee in Toronto.
