The secret is out, Secret Congee is opening this Wednesday in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle on 4405 Wallingford Ave N, Seattle, WA. The build out is a takeout spot located inside of Juisala juice shop and will have no dine-in seating/service.
Secret Congee is authentically influenced by the East/South East Asia style of cooking. In this style of cooking, congee is not bland. Each bowl comes with a variety of creative toppings and ingredients which bring out hidden delicious flavors and aromas creating that unique mouth-watering effect.
The restaurant will offer a rotating menu of specialized congee (rice porridge) Slow-Cooked Beef and Kimchi Congee, Tom Yum Shrimp Congee, Miso roasted Kabocha squash (Vegan/GF) and other incredible menu items.
To help with sustainability, Secret Congee uses organic meats and sustainable seafood. Takeout bowls are 100% compostable and its covering lid is 100% recyclable. The spoon/napkin and its cellulose outer wrapper is also 100% compostable.
Congee is like a canvas for chefs. It allows for both traditional and innovative menus. It’s a delicious, comfort food that deserves a lot more attention than it’s currently getting.
The team behind Congeez which was located in Chinatown have found a new location to bring this dish to more Seattleites.
