Good Old Frog Porridge

Making that first visit to Good Old Frog Porridge on Outram Road may very well be a life-changing decision. Once you’ve savoured these tender appendages, there is no turning back. Served piping hot, the succulent meat comes out in an earthen clay pot with heaps of sliced ginger and spring onions in a thick, fragrant pool of dark soysauce gravy – blistering dried chillis are optional. This utterly addictive brew is best slurped down with silky smooth congee and a plate of shallot-topped chye sim on the side. Wash it all down with a glass of iced herbal tea. Note: if you purchase four frogs you get one free.
