Anyway, I recently visited an Asian supermarket and found some "mixed congee" in a can. I picked up a few cans and will sample them soon. However, I noticed the English writing on the can don't have instructions or mention whether it is suppose to be eaten hot or cold. I've never had cold congee before and don't know whether it is common or a norm. Anyone know? The 2 name brands are from Taiwan. TAISUN and FAMOUS HOUSE. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Wed Nov 04 09:37:02 -0800 2009 43731 YummyYummy 1 5155212 I could be wrong but I think these are sweet congees ie desserts. I don't eat these so have no insight into hot or cold.

I think you're supposed to eat it chilled but I find it disgusting, it looks like and has (what I imagine) the texture of predigested baby food.

I've eaten it hot, cold and at room temperature and thought it wasn't very good as it was too gloppy during all three stages. Heating it made it less gloppy though.
