... is what most parents would tell their children when introducing them to some exotic white meat like frog, snake or alligator/crocodile (I knew mine did!). Though in the end, it hardly ever does taste like chicken at all! So last Saturday me and DonN (Batman was AWOL) went to eat what is supposedly the best frog porridge in this area.
Located somewhere in SS2 (my ss2 map a bit fail... all I know it's nearby the police station) this shop only serves 1 kind of porridge: frog porridge as evident from the name of the shop. Unsurprisingly, the business was originally from Singapore and they keep playing some food programme showing how delicious their porridge is -.-'... Oh and we came after the Argentina vs Nigeria match which was at 12 am... Supposedly they close at 4am!
Kermit must be hopping franticly away...
Not surprisingly (or issit?), it was empty when we stepped into the well decorated and clean shop. I usually associate porridge stalls with those traditional kopi tiam type kinda places... lol.. Left the ordering to DonN in which he ordered kung-pow style frog and porridge for 2. Didn't take long for the dishes to come. Honestly this is the first time I see the meat not in the porridge!
A nice small and surprisingly modern place...
I know most of you must be thinking 'zomgwtfbbq frog?' Even both Batman and TSoon gave me the 'ewww' look when we suggested eating this... But trust me guys, if you've not tried frog before, this is THE way to eat it! Taste wise, it is juicy and sweet, tender NOT at all like chicken. It does kinda break down rather easily in your mouth and the meat just falls right off the bone. Now I'm not sure if its because of the way the frog is cooked or memang liddat. And don't worry, there is no skin, head or webbed feet to make you think you are actually eating an amphibian.
Awesome stuff right here...
As for the porridge itself, I have to say, this is probably the best porridge I've eaten in a while... Yes it is just plain porridge, but it's cooked in such a way that it is not too watery or too dry but just nice and thick even creamy like! Add with a little sesame oil and pepper together with the kung-pow sauce, fucking amazing!!
Not your everyday porridge meal...
Though I probably won't eat (or maybe I will if got people wanna eat?) this in awhile cos I feel it is rather expensive for porridge. The bill for the 2 of us came up to 30 bucks with 2 liang cha peng. So at 15 bucks a person, probably a little on the steep side though DonN says it is reasonable...
Now this taste like chicken...
Anyways, before that we went to Chillis to watch the above said match. We decided to have something light so I called for the triple play which I think along with thier Cajun club sandwich is probably one of their better items on the menu. Although the buffalo wings were kinda small =\... Aih Malaysian chickens tak makan wan issit....
After the frog porridge we went to get TSoon and went to Centrepoint McD to watch England concede a howler of a goal to the US of A. Jay Leno said in his monologue that the loser of this match had to clean up the oil spill in the gulf! Haha, guess no one is gonna clean it now... Main reason we were there was because McD's have upgraded their tv and Astro to show all the matches in full HD! oh, even some Starbucks outlets are having a promo where if you wear your team jersey/shirt and they win, you get a free drink!!
