8 Best Places To Hop Over For Some Tasty Frog Leg Porridge
Not many people can stand the thought of eating frogs but while these odd looking amphibians may not seem like something worth chowing down on, they actually taste really good if braised in a claypot with dark sauce, dried chilli, aromatics and served with porridge. Yes, we’re talking about frog porridge, the popular Singapore suppertime staple.
In Singapore, frog leg porridge is synonymous with Geylang but there are other places that serve really good frog leg porridge as well. Here is our list of 8 best places with tasty frog leg porridge.

A ONE CLAYPOT HOUSE
Well known for their many claypot delights—hence the name—, A One Claypot House adopts a traditional claypot-cooking method to maintain the refined flavours of the premium ingredients used. Their Claypot Dried Chilli Frog’s Meat is definitely a must-order.
Topped with a generous amount of dried chilli and spring onion, the frog leg is simmered in hot and spicy Szechuan Gong Bao sauce that goes really well with plain porridge. If you are looking for a non-spicy version, do try their Claypot Frog’s Meat With Scallion Ginger Sauce that is equally well flavoured.
