On the night of December 25th my whole family decided to go to Bubur Kwang Tung to enjoy their large portion of congee/ rice porridge. Two of my brothers said they loved it and so we decided to go. The location of the restaurant is within the same row of the famous Martabak Pecenongan 65A (said to be the originator of martabak Nutella and Toblerone). It is amazing that even during Christmas time the store is packed, but luckily my family got our 8-seated table fast since we came in within a group. For muslims, you don't have to worry since this Chinese restaurant is certified halal.
The order we made include four types of Cantonese congee: chicken (IDR 40), seafood (IDR 55), grouper fish/ kerapu (IDR 45) and chicken with abalone (IDR 180). The chicken and kerapu dish came out in a bowl that is enough to feed 2-3 persons while the seafood and abalone-chicken mix can feed a group with of 5-6. But since my family have a big appetite, of course we finished the warm, soft rice in a blast! Kwang Tung itself serve its congee with complementary soy sauce with grated ginger that is very refreshing and healthy but I didn't get to try their chilli. Even if you like solid rice over congee, Kwang Tung has variable options such as warm hearty soup, steamed and hainanese rice, variants of Hongkong and Cantonese dishes as well as medicinal soup that unfortunately we didn't got to try.
Alongside with the various type of congees, we also ordered stir-fry broccoli, fried shrimp with salted egg, century eggs and cakwe. I recommend you to pick out several sides since the congee comes in a bowl that fairly contains your protein order without the usual toppings you usually got. As for the congees we ordered, all of it has the same rice base that is only differentiated by the variety of meats it given. For me, the seafood congee is the most worthy from its the price, flavour and portion. The abalone-chicken mix for me is way overpriced since we cannot really taste the abalone since its little ration is hidden behind the mix of chicken in the congee. The sides itself for me is standard, and the accompanying dishes were nothing special in particular. But if you would like to enjoy a variety of congees any time of the day, you can certainly put this restaurant into your list since it is open for 24 hours. This dining experience we had at Kwang Tung is certainly pleasing since we come in as families and were greeted in warmth from the time we entered until we left the building feeling full.
