Tucked away in the bustling Temple Street area of Jordan is Sun Hing Chang, a modest eatery with a reputation for serving some of the city's finest fish congee. Despite its less-touristy location, this charming establishment is an embodiment of culinary dedication and tradition, revered by locals for over 50 years.

A well-known and time-honored shop specializing in raw boiled fish porridge, and one of Jordan's late-night canteens. Located on Wu Sung Street, known as the "food street", Sun Hing Chang's humble beginnings as a street hawker stand have blossomed into a beloved diner frequented by a dedicated clientele. The restaurant's success rests in its commitment to quality, serving food that carries a legacy of excellence and pride.

Diners can choose various parts from fish head to tail to make fish porridge, or combine various parts freely. The bottom of the porridge is smooth and thick, very filling, and every bite is full of the sweet and umami taste of the fish. The smooth fish skin is crispy and tender, and it is delicious with ginger and spring onion dipped in soy sauce.

Specializing in fish congee, the no-frills shop offers different specific parts of fish that are not found in most congee places. It’s all for the true local gourmets: Fish belly, tail, head, fin joint, fish maw, bones, lips, meat slices, and “moustache”- the part taken from the gill cover called so for its curvy shape.

But the bestseller has to be the fish belly congee. Using a bronze pot, the owner sautés the fish belly with ginger and scallion on high heat. Once the wine is drizzled into the pot, you can see a fireball rising up from the pot. Next thing you know, you see people coming in tracing the aroma.

The congee base is also prepared with a heart. It is made with rice, pork bones, dried scallop, oat, and century eggs, cooked daily for hours before dawn. For such an old shop, you can expect it’s not only the good flavour but the enthusiasm and love that keeps bringing the guests back. In fact, there are dishes that barely earn the shop money, or even make the shop lose a bit, say the “moustache” congee for example. But they insist to offer love and joy if you dig it.
