Frog in Chinese wine (Hua Diao Jiu) – Frog legs and parts are sautéed in hot gingery sesame oil until fragrant. Broth is then added and simmered till cooked. Chinese Hua Diao Jiu Wine and wolfberries are added to the simmering soup before serving.
This soup smells so homely and is great on a cold rainy day. This is a similar recipe for mothers on confinement. The wine adds a sweet and pleasant note to the nourishing soup.
Singapore Chilli Frog- This Singapore Chilli frog is a rendition of the Singapore Chilli Crab. This is not overly sweet and the thickness of the sauce is just of the right consistency for dipping. This is a tangy and slightly spicy version of the Singapore Chilli Crab.
Mantou – Dip those freshly deep fried mantou with cracking crust on the outside and soft insides into the chilli gravy. Let them soak up the savoury sweet chilli.
Salted Egg Yolk Frog – The frog parts are coated with a crispy and thin coat of salted egg yolk batter.
The crispy coat disintegrates into a pleasant grainy texture liken to that of a salt egg yolk. It has a distinct curry leaves aroma and a mild creaminess to it.
Black Pepper Frog – Lightly deep fried frog parts and legs are coated with the so familiar sweet, sticky and peppery coat. The texture of the frogs goes well with dry black pepper coating.
Frog Hor Fun – Satisfying bowl of hor fun with wok hei and tender frog legs with sweet translucent onions.
Cereal Frog – Buttery and sandy golden cereal coats each piece of crispy frog parts. This heap of sweet and savoury cereal gives off an aromatic hint of curry leaves when it is served. It could be better if a slight heat element like chilli is included too.
Fried Frog – Coated in a light and fluffy coat. Crunchy outside and fluffy inside. Goes best with a mayo dip.
The other 15 signature sides included in this frog buffet are mee goreng, sambal lala, samba pomfret,lala kuey tiao and many more.
Singapore-JB style Mee Goreng – This is one of their signature dish.
Fried Yellow Mee that is coated evenly with extra spicy chilli, sweetness and a tinge of refreshing lime. Crunchy deshelled prawns, squid rings and homemade sambal chilli with lots of ikan bills. This is a unique dish with a twist because you can find fries in the mee goreng.
Lala kuey tiao- Lala stir fried with thick and savoury minced meat sauce atop slightly char hor fun with a strong wok hei.
If you like charred kuey tiao, this lala hor fun should please you too.
Pork Ribs King (aka cola ribs) – This marinated pork ribs is deep fried and coated with a sweet and sour candied coat of sauce. The chop has a good balance of tender lean meat and crunchy fats. It does not need much chew and is excellent on a bowl of steamed rice.
Handmade Dumplings – Dumpling with a generous filling of marinated minced meat,shrimp paste, sweet carrots, onions, chestnuts, black fungus and pork cracklings. The skin is thin and crunchy. The tiny blistered pockets are the tell tale signs of a very crispy dumpling skin. You can never go wrong with some mayo dips too.
Sambal Lala- Lala are stir fried in aromatic and robust sambal sauce with bits of sweet caramalised onions. Lala still retains it briny juice and succulent texture.
