Frog Porridge at Geylang

Wednesday night - Ian & May took A.Ze and me to Geylang for frog porridge. Geylang is a very busy area. Cars flowing non-stop along the road. Shops were aplenty with food shops dominating the scene. There are crowds of people everywhere.

I know, most of you all, the moment we mention Geylang, you associate it with prostitution and such. That is partially true, you all can ask Ian (he's the expert). There's also plenty of accomodation, mostly charging by the hour (I wonder why), not that I recommend you all stay at any hotels there.

There are also plenty of restaurants, hawkers and kopitiam selling local delicacy. We had frog porridge for dinner. The restaurant had just been renovated and was very clean. Anyway, it seems the restaurant is quite famous, being featured on TV and newspapers (most of SG's food places have been on TV, papers, magazines, etc.) Anyway, the link to the restaurant is here.

Frogs cooked in a pot

You don't see the porridge in the picture huh. That's because the frogs are cooked in a pot and they serve you plain porridge in another pot. So you can order different style of cooking frog.

They have a promotion or some sorts. Order 2 frogs and get 1 free. We tried 2 different type of frog dishes. The food was great. We tried the kung pao (dried chili) style and the white pepper (only available here). It was spicy and very tasty especially when you mix it with the porridge.

If you decide to come and try this dish, feel free to call Ian. I think he's becoming a regular there.
