In Beijing 2019, I had this crazy fish soup that looked like porridge but salty and savoury, with a long fried dough, like a donut but no sugar and shaped like a stick. Really fatty. The drink was warm soy milk. The whole thing was very satisfying. 100% recommend.
- atsushin 5y agoSounds like you had a congee of sorts?

- dumb1224 5y agoYes Youtiao are quite fatty. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youtiao https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youtiao It is considered a classic standard breakfast although morden more 'western' style breakfast is on the rise among young people too.
- snicker7 5y agoHalf-Cambodian. We have the same breakfast. We called it Bar Bar. The Chinese call it Congee. Other Asian countries have their own variants. I think even the Greeks have their own savory rice-porridge recipe (Avgolemeno). It is good for literally any time of the day/year. Especially good for colds.
