Duck egg and lean beef rice congee. This is the speciality of Law Fu Kee! Law Fu Kee is what you would call a traditional Cantonese diner. With just a few hundred square feet of dining space, a Cantonese diner would serve dishes like egg noodle in wanton soup or egg noodle soup with braised beef or even various types of rice congee. Obviously, Law Fu Kee serves all of these products but with so many of these traditional Cantonese diners out there in Hong Kong, you have to become different somehow if you want customers coming often! So Law Fu Kee buckled down and created what I would say, the best duck egg and lean beef rice congee ever!

So how does it differ from other places? Most places such as regular Chinese restaurants simply use chopped up lean beef boiled along with the congee. As for Law Fu Kee, the lean beef is not simply boiled. It is first marinated with their own special sauce. It is cooked till the lean beef is extremely soft and tender. Then, it is mixed into the rice congee with the sliced duck eggs. In the end, it makes the normal duck egg and lean beef rice congee look bad! The flavorful lean beef gives the congee a special kick to your taste bud. Get an order of Chinese donut (oily stick) or if you would prefer calling it "yau cha kwai" and dip/eat it along with the rice congee. This combination is simply heavenly! The flavor of the lean beef is not too salty but done just right. It has a nice distinct salty/sweet taste to it.

In conclusion, Law Fu Kee is a great place for rice congee especially the duck egg and lean beef rice congee. Their other dishes are good too. If you're in the mood for egg noodles from these diners, there's one place on Wing Kut Street that serves better but not by too much. There are two other Law Fu Kee locations in Central: one at Lyndhurst Terrace and one at Queen's Road. Anyhow, stop by Des Voeux and order some rice congee now!
