Travelled to Geylang to experience a different Singapore... and to tick off something on my experience food check-list, to eat Frog Porridge at Geylang! The whole place is boisterous and lively, with neon lights and enjoying delicious street-food just three metres away from the main road. Do note that the frog porridge here takes around 30 minutes to serve (or more!) because it is very popular. There won't be a visible queue, but there are plenty loyal customers sitting around with huge orders.

After waiting for quite a long while, it finally arrived! Remember to tell the uncle to go easy on the chilli because even after mentioning, it is still quite spicy! >_< I only survived with a cold drink. The spiciness is not immediate, it is an overwhelming choking aftertaste upon eating a few mouthfuls. But - the wokhei flavour is marvelously rich and savoury, with tasty together with the tender frog leg meat. I can understand why people are so crazy over this once I started eating it.
The second surprise was the porridge itself. it is the Cantonese type of plain porridge, thicker and coarser in nature. The best part is how the porridge is very yummy even on its own. It is simply seasoned with scallions and spring onions... the classic combination to create a delicious porridge pot.
Definitely recommended street food at Geylang! ;) Well, but it could get a little messy. Equip yourself with tissue packs and wet tissues. Or you can buy some from the aunties milling around.
