Bánh Cuốn Chay (Vegan Vietnamese Stuffed Rice Rolls)

Birthday Dinner

Dinner feast of a relative’s birthday. Roasted turkey is juicy and tasty. Can slice the parts and eat with side ingredients. Marshmallows melted on top of chocolate for more sweetness. Custard buns as desserts. Soft on the inside. Homemade chicken nuggets are better than fast food ones. Rice balls are authentic cuisines from local hometown. Sashimi and rice rolls are great options for side dish. Plus, roasted pork and ribs along with turkey dish. Pudding and macaroni are great snacks. Little sweet and brittle.

A classic dim sum dish! Shrimp Cheung Fun (Cantonese Rice Noodle Rolls)

Chan Kee, 931 W Duarte Rd, Monrovia, CA 91016

I’ve been looking for good congee in the SGV for years and I’ve finally found it. I’m so grateful that Chan Kee has opened in Monrovia. They specialize in Hong Kong style congee!

Order at the counter and they’ll give you a buzzer. When it goes off, go to the counter and get your food.  They’re still in soft opening mode and it looks like they will expand the menu to include dim sum.  The combo meal menu includes a choice of porridge, a side, and a drink. Or you can choose the noodle combo with noodles and a drink. There are 12 kinds of porridge, including pork liver, fish, free range chicken, frog legs, abalone, etc.

Pork with thousand year egg porridge, mixed sauce rice rolls, and hot milk tea ($13.75): The congee is enough for 2 or three people. It’s a huge amount served in a metal container placed in a wood bucket. The congee was broken down with lots of shredded, flavorful pork and big pieces of thousand year egg. You can add what you’d like from the condiment station (sauces, white pepper, scallions, ginger, cilantro, peanuts, etc.). It’s so good! Going to crave it often. The rice noodle rolls were very good too – fresh, soft rolls covered in a sesame sauce and a hoisin sauce. I added scallions, sriracha, peanuts, and white pepper. Yum! The milk tea was very strong. It’s unsweetened. You can sweeten it to taste. They even have condensed milk that you can add to it.

Fresh fish congee: Wasn't as thick or flavorful as the pork w/preserved egg porridge. Tender pieces of a mild white fish. Not much ginger but you can add ginger, scallions, etc.

There’s a cute congee statue in the entrance that reminds me of Ding Tai Fung’s dumpling creature. I was surprised that they do not accept cash. They also don’t accept tips. The place looks nice – new furniture, open kitchen. It’s in a strip mall so parking is easy to find.
