粥大福 新店中正店

Location: Xindian District, New Taipei City

There’s a chain congee shop on Zhongzheng Road. I noticed that this chain store is becoming increasingly common in many places. I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to try it. Today, the weather has turned cooler, and I suddenly thought of going to eat there. I arrived earlier than the usual dining time, so the shop was almost empty. After quickly being seated and placing my order, I noticed that by around six o'clock, the place was fully occupied, and there were many takeout customers as well. The waiting time was a bit longer, but they offered unlimited spicy pickled vegetables, fried dough sticks, and black tea, which I felt had a great value for money.

🌟 Kimchi Cheese Matsusaka Pork
When it arrived at the table, it was filled with the aroma of kimchi. After taking a bite, it tasted very much like the kimchi hot pot from a stinky tofu place—almost identical, bringing back the same feeling. The Matsusaka pork was quite generous in portion and satisfying. However, the kimchi flavor was quite strong, somewhat losing the lightness you would expect when eating congee. By the end, I found it a bit too rich for my taste.

🌟 Scrambled Egg Beef Congee
This one is a more basic and lighter congee dish. It’s made with chicken broth as the base, so it’s very flavorful and aromatic without being too rich. I highly recommend it!

Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and would definitely visit again. 👍
