Dayong Street No Name Congee

It was my first visit, and the food was excellent. They open at 4 AM, so you can grab a late-night snack or breakfast! Their menu focuses on fresh, plump fish, with a sweet, non-greasy broth. The braised pork rice is juicy, and they also offer a fragrant, chewy braised egg and seafood congee with a variety of toppings. One bite and you'll be hooked! Friendly staff, definitely worth a try!

The fish floss and braised pork rice is very delicious, braised pork is with shallots aroma, I didn’t order the congee because the congee here is actually rice with soup, I’d prefer their milk fish skin and oyster soup. Service is nice :)

It’s totally my kind of breakfast since I’m more into rice than flour-based dishes. The congee is light but full of flavor, with fresh seafood like milkfish and oysters. It feels simple, comforting, and very local. The place looks low key, but you can tell it’s a favorite among locals. A perfect way to start the day in Tainan.

The congee is OK, cannot match the Cantonese style. The rice dumpling is covered with minced meat sauce.

We ate here twice because it’s THAT good! We even skipped our hotel breakfast so that we could eat it a second time. Tried the fish skin porridge, which still came with a fair bit of meat, and also the fish belly and oyster porridge. Both were really really yummy. The fish was completely deboned and not at all fishy. Oysters were also very fresh. It might look simple but I think this qualifies as one of the best meals I had in Tainan.

Milkfish porridge is best served in this small breakfast restaurant. It continues to serve until porridge out of stock. A lot of morning transient traffic plus irregular business hours which are based on lunar calendar to be minded if you decide to give a try. Otherwise, a very tasty, typical Tainan breakfast eating style you don’t want to miss. I had ordered Milkfish Porridge and Braised Pork Belly over Rice. Recommended combination. Milkfish Porridge has milkfish meat, oyster, diced celery, fried garlic, and rice.

Foreigner ordering guide: Grab a table and a menu + marker on the side table at the entrance. Look at the number on your table and write it down on the top right. Check what you want to order and then drop the paper off on the table next to the woman dishing out porridge. She’ll drop off your food and then pay after you eat. Had the “comprehensive fish maw” bowl (Google translate) and it was great. Huge amount of fish and oysters with a light broth. This place was popping off when I went there, but well worth fumbling through the crowd to get a great breakfast.
