It’s white, tender and chock-full of protein; cooked to yummy and nutritious goodness. Imagining chicken meat? Think again.
While we say frog legs are an ‘alternative’ in the title, the taste of frog meat is far more distinct and exquisite than that. Frog legs are commonly compared to chicken for their similarities in texture and flavour, but they have also been likened to the taste of white fish. The differences in opinion are often attributed to their preparation method: resembling the former when grilled or boiled, and the latter when deep fried or sautéed. No matter, frog legs deserve to stand independently for their unique taste, rather than as substitutes for other types of meat. We hope to change the perception of frog legs with this article.

An unfroggetable pairing with fried porridge
If you have yet to try our signature Klang fried porridge, we definitely recommend doing so. Fried porridge, originating from Malaysia, has a thicker, gelatinous consistency with a ‘wok hei’ aroma that’s unlike local congee. Our frog legs fried porridge is then prepared using fresh and succulent frog legs. The mild flavour of frog legs allows them to completely soak up the dark soy sauce marinade of the porridge. Finally, the frog legs fried porridge is topped off with fried shallots and dried shrimp to give your tastebuds a truly tantalising experience.
Our fried porridge also comes in other variations like sliced pork fried porridge, mixed pig’s organ fried porridge, minced pork fried porridge and more.
