More Reviews of good food at Hong Chang Eating House

The rainy weather is perfect for hot and hearty food, such as the frog leg porridge from Hong Chiang Eating House! Their frog legs are always very tender and fresh, as is their other seafood offerings.

We gotten the cooking style of ginger onion, the taste was good. There’s also choice of Thai style cooking.

I think I found myself one of the favourite restaurant in Singapore. After my first meal here, I have fallen in love with their food.

So here I am again trying on more items from their menu. Today I gotten the cai po omelette, also one of their popular item.

It was truly a heaven when I first bite on it. The texture was so soft and fluffy! Making it so addictive that I don’t mind getting another piece.

I have to say this one of the best lady fingers I have tasted in Singapore.

The sambal was super tasty and cooked well with the lady fingers, equally blend the taste with all of them.

I still remember passing this place and always seeing lots of people eating here.

This month I finally found the chance to see why so many people supporting this place.

A very Malaysia style of coffee shop, serving some super good foods such as their signature frog leg.

Initially I want to grab the frog porridge, but was told the taste could be even better without mixing with the porridge in the claypot.

I do agree as the sweet taste didn’t diluted with the porridge. So you could order the porridge separately instead.

The main star of this place.

This is top 2 best frog legs I eaten ever.

A must have over here.

The sauce is thick and flavourful and goes very well with porridge or rice.

The frog meat also tasted damn fresh

Tasty sambal for the stingray.

But the stingray was kinda dry for those thicker chunks of meat(because I ordered large)

Otherwise, this is a must order, I will suggest ordering small size to enjoy it to its fullest.

It’s been a while since I had frog porridge! We decided to venture beyond the usual Chinatown/Geylang options and try the highly-raved Hong Chang Eating House (2 Braddell Road) a few weeks back.

The star of the show is definitely the Claypot Frog ($8 for one, $13 for two, $16 for three, $22 for four). We opted for ginger spring onion style and the frog legs are super tender, fragrant and delicious, and it goes very well with the plain porridge. Regretted ordering 2 instead of 3 *cries*

Apart from frog porridge, there is also an array of zichar dishes to choose from, and we had Sambal Stingray ($10-$20), Thai-Style Clams ($9 for small), Butter Squid ($9 for small) and Sambal Kangkong ($6 for small). The chilli dishes are not very spicy but they are quite flavourful and goes well with the porridge - the sambal kangkong has a nice wok hei as well. However, you might want to skip the butter squid as it is quite tough/overcooked~

While the frog porridge is very good, I don’t know if I will brave the extremely long queue just to have this again:P Nonetheless, enjoyed this dinner!

Located in a pretty secluded corner, this frog porridge restaurant is popular to many, and I can understand why. The claypot frog legs (3 for $16) was pretty meaty and had a good strong flavour from dried chilli sauce. Paired with porridge, this is one hearty meal. They have grilled stingray ($16 for medium portion) as well, and it's pretty sizeable. We got the garlic version of it, which is uncommoy seen 😂 Although the umami from the garlic comes through, we still preferred the dish prepared with sambal. We all agreed that this place is better than the one at geylang 😛

Very yummy, 3 frogs is enough to share between two people. I personally prefer the spicy version over the non-spicy one, but both are delicious in their own right. Price is also reasonable, $16 for the 3 pc

Fried rice is my guilty pleasure. I don’t even like glass prawns but the fact that this fried rice has big fried ikan billis inside made it so tasty and perfect. There’s lots of wok hey and they really don’t stinge on the ingredients so every bite is just as satisfying. Eating it with the slightly sweet sauce from the ginger spring onion frog makes it even better. I love it!

This frog porridge is always super crowded even though parking here is quite the nightmare. And for good reason! Their frog porridge is really good and they give really chunky frogs at a cheaper price than other places. I like the ginger and spring onion version the best because the gloopy sauce is super tasty with warm plain porridge. You can also get other stuff like their BBQ stingray and other seafood, although the squid we tried wasn’t that great.

Hong Chang is an unassuming eating house located along Braddell Road that serves very delectable Kung Pao Claypot Frog Legs. The frog legs were succulent & tender, while the fragrance of the sauce went really well with the smooth texture of the porridge.

Favourite sambal stingray because the meat seems thicker and pretty tender compared to some others I've tried (where the layer of chili is almost as thick as the layer of meat below...)

Frog Leg 3pcs ($16, good for 3-5 if you order other dishes) and Plain Porridge (Small is $2, Big is $3).

Found the frog leg gravy a little too salty; adding just a little bit was good enough, but if you add another piece of frog halfway through your porridge, it ruins the balance of saltiness pretty easily :( Aside from that, love the combination of smooth porridge and tender frog legs with the ginger//spring onion gravy. (Ps if you never tried frog, the meat is like chicken, just much more tender. Though the mini bones will remind you that it's frog you're eating)

Aside from the typical zichar veg dishes like kangkong and sweet potato leaves, they have this random combo where you can choose to mix from these three vegetables (e.g. Have them alone, mix two, or mix three). Petai (aka smelly bean 臭豆) is smelly as hell when you put it in your mouth. One of those things the older generation likes and you might suddenly grow to love as well when age catches up. Thankfully the stink did not affect the lady finger and long bean, which were decently good. You can choose to have it with sambal, or non-spicy with garlic. Go with the non-spicy to save yourself from the must-order sambal stingray.

This came with the sides of the omelette overflowing from the plate! Good for $5, but wished that there were more liao in the omelette for some variety in the bite.

Hong Chang Frog Porridge has an array of seafood dishes in addition to the main thing. We always order the sambal stingray (very good) and gong-gong. Unfortunately the gong-gong this time wasn't very meaty. If this is your first time trying, be warned that it's kinda tasteless. Dip just a bit of their chili, which really packs a punch in the spice level and a good hint of sourness.

Our favorite sambal stingray place...

Their stingray is meaty compared to others; every bite is so succulent & together with the fiery sambal chili, this is a damn shiok dish!

Miss: sambal potato leaves/stingray.
An oddly satisfying meal nonetheless, all thanks to my favorite company. 😊😘💕
