Seng Kei Congee

Macau


The alley location belies the fame of this 60-year shop that has impressed all walks with its soul-warming rice porridge; so much so that they now have a casino branch. The savoury gruel comes with a choice of fish, pig innards, meat balls or 'everything'. The owner Brother Lung speaks English and loves to joke.

A white signage with blue lettering says 'Patio do Abridor' near the entrance of the alley. There's a telecommunications shop just outside.
