Congee is indeed bluddy grate! And not hard to make.
I didn't know the word 牛柏葉 for tripe, only the more prosaic 肚. It looks like there's some variant-spelling stuff going on here, because my dictionary says 柏 means "cypress", while "hundred" is 百 (same pronunciation), but CantoDict has both 牛柏葉 and 牛百葉 listed as meaning beef tripe, and a Google Images search bears this out. I went and looked at photos of cypress leaves on Flickr, and TBH both spellings make sense to me!
