If It Takes A Village - Let It Be Congee Village!

Hello Foodies,

I know that everyone in the City has their favorite Chinese restaurant and I wanted to let you know about ours and that is Congee Village. Last weekend, a group gathered there for a farewell dinner for our friend Tj Robinson who is moving from NYC to DC for his job - Director of New Product Development at Salt Pig Publishing. The group included TDF alum, Jackie Chasey and her boyfriend, Dan Griffin, and Julie Rupprecht (Real Estate Diva), and of course, the Forks.

We ate Congee, a hot Chinese rice porridge and you can choose what you want in it - everything from lobster, ginger, duck, etc. Yummy. The House Special Chicken is amazing. So are the Razor Clams in Black Bean sauce and the Leeks with pork and the Duck and the Beef with spicy sauce. I don't think that you can make a bad choice at Congee Village.

Congee Village has a cool lower Eastside address with Chinatown prices. The address is 100 Allen St. between Delancey St. and Broome St. Be prepared for a wait but the drinks at the bar are good!

Enjoy!
