I ate my first and last congee at Keefer Court. Didn't do it for me. I also had my first duck egg there. Soft boiled in soup. The duck egg I liked. Huge! Rich!
@@warrenj3204 usually best congee is at a dim sum place. I rarely eat congee because I make the basic simple version at home easily (not as good). I’ll keep an eye out. I know they have good ones. If you like Pho, you’ll like good congee!
I lived on the West Bank back in the 80's. I remember when the original Keefer Court opened on the corner of Cedar and Riverside. I was a regular. I was 19yo when I first went in there. In addition to a bakery they had a small restaurant too. I'd generally go in there and get a noodle soup of some sort with egg rolls on the side. Very good food! They had Peking duck and BBQ pork which you could buy by the pound. They'd use those as ingredients in the soups as well. The owner was a Chinese lady (maybe Vietnamese?) a bit older than me. She would recognize me when I'd go in. I moved out of the West Bank long ago but I'd still get to Keefer Court a few times a year. Last time I ate there was maybe 8 years ago or so. Went back perhaps two years ago but no sit-down restaurant anymore. Just bakery. Seems to be run by much younger people now. My guess is the Chinese lady sold the business to a relative. It's good they moved out of the West Bank. It's an East African neighborhood now. EP Asian Mall is a better bet.

Why is it your last congee? Must have been bad? You have to try a good one!
@@minnesotaphatfoodies Point me in the right direction and I'll give it another shot!
