For some, frogs are considered an exotic food. They don’t look exactly cute nor tasty and they give you the creeps when they jump towards your direction. Eminent Frog Porridge is a zi char coffee shop style place, providing casual eating ambience but will be noisy when getting crowded. Located in Geylang, a well-known area for dinner or supper, Eminent Frog Porridge is one of the few favourite places for frog porridge lovers. 

The savoury sticky sauce overwhelmed with sweetness into your mouth. The frogs' meat was so smooth and tender! it tastes just like a mix between chicken and fish. One pot of 3 frogs was not enough for 6 pax, so we ordered another pot of 3 frogs in a Kung Pao sauce. 

Cost: $8 per frog (Buy 2 frogs get 1 frog free)

The kung pao version was prepared with more gravy and lots of dried chilli, which gave the dish spicier taste. Although it might be very spicy for those who do not like spicy food, the kung pao frog sauce does blend in very well into the porridge, much more than ginger version. The frogs used were not particularly big, but they were quite meaty, smooth and tender. This alone is a reason good enough for you to try them if you have not.

The porridge had a nice thick texture but it was tasteless, but the porridge becomes goodies once you poured the sauce from the cooked frogs for flavouring. The combination of porridge and clay pot frog sauce was delicious!

The Shrimp paste Chicken honestly does not have any trace of shrimp paste, it is just a normal fried chicken, it was tender but was fried till a bit too dry.

Foo Yong fried egg was another dish I would say it was a very normal dish where any Zi Char Stalls can whip out similar taste or even better.

Other than their popular frog's legs, they have a huge range of zi char dishes but not that amazing according to what I've tried. Do take note if you order too few dishes for a big group, you will be frowned upon and might be asked to order more. Nevertheless, it is still a great place for dinner or supper with a huge group!
