I have tried many congees, but this one is the worst. I can't believe the decline in their food quality. I would recommend avoiding this dish.

So I ordered off the picture menu and got what I think is sea cucumber. This was spiced with wasabi and was a texture somewhere between jello and a pickle. It's not something I would order again; however it was good. Next came the soup and holy cow that was absolutely fantastic! It was super hot and filled to the brim with tons of seafood (shrimp, scallop, fish, shellfish, mussel, prawn) and was spiced just right. The soup was absolutely huge and I honestly wish I had ordered just that. The food came with hot tea and a dessert soup. I asked and it was green pea dessert soup. It was also fantastic and I wish I hadn't been so full so I could eat it all. 10/10 I would go again for the Tom Yum Soup and the pea soup.
