Frog Porridge 田鸡粥 🐸

Tender frog legs simmered in a dark and gingery, soy-based sauce with chopped spring onions over high heat. The frog legs were plump, silky soft and best paired with plain porridge cooked in claypot. Drizzle the gravy over thick congee and it makes this the perfect comfort food, especially on a rainy day.

2 + 1 Frog 》$18 (same flavour)
Porridge 》$3.80

Ordered both the spicy and non-spicy frog leg since they cost the same to have one or two in the same claypot. The non-spicy version uses dark soya sauce, ginger and spring onions while the spicy version has the addition of dried chilli in the sauce. The frog meat is cooked till tender and it soaks up the thick and rich sauce well. I like to drizzle the sauce over the thick, smooth and gooey porridge for more flavours. Overall, I preferred the non-spicy version for its original flavours. The dried chilli in the spicy version somehow overpowers the original flavours of the sauce.

The fried oyster omelette is fried till crispy with a gooey starchy centre and comes with a good serving of oysters. The ratio of eggs to starch was just nice, not overly starchy and pairs well with the tangy chilli sauce.

Kung bao frog legs are cooked till incredibly tender in an immensely savoury and thick sauce with a lingering heat from the dried chilli. While 1 frog cost $8, they have a “buy 2 get 1 free” promotion at $16 and it is only logical to order more to enjoy the promotion. The savoury and thick gong bao paired perfectly with the plain porridge. The most ideal way is to drizzle some sauce over the thick and smooth congee to go along with the tender and juicy froggies. It is always good to have such warm and comforting food for the rainy weather.

I visited this place often when I was young because my dad loves it. Although I felt that the quality has dropped over the years, I would still come back here for a comforting bowl of claypot frog porridge. Mix the gravy with congee and it's all good for a warm and hearty meal.

It was also my first time trying their fried intestines which were crispy but too hard for my teeth. Tried soaking it in the gravy and congee but it does not help to soften any bit. Its probably the first and last time ordering this.

The best weather to have porridge is on a rainy night. The taste kind of detoriate over the years but it's still yummy!
