Porridge at Kang Kar Mall

After reading the Sunday Times article about Kang Kar Mall, I decided to drop by after work for a bite. The Kopitiam coffee shop had been featured in the newspaper article and the moment I read about the frog's legs in thick gravy, my decision was made. I had been craving for frog's leg porridge for some time after seeing Sharon Au raving about it on TV.


It had been a dreary and overcast day and porridge seemed to be the perfect comfort food. The pictures around the stall looked impressive and the stall had apparently won an award for its dishes. Unfortunately, the frog's leg in gravy came with rice. The legs with the porridge were the pale and pasty version. In the end, I ordered the frog's legs, omitted the rice, and ordered a bowl of shredded chicken and scallop porridge.
 
 

The legs came bubbling hot on the hot plate. But it wasn't the spicy kung pao version that I wanted. Instead, the gravy tasted very much like the one found in beef cooked in ginger. Still, it wasn't too bad.

The chicken porridge was tasty. It was piping hot with shredded chicken slices and small brown scallops. It went well wth the frog legs.

Long queues formed quicky at the porridge stall so going before 630pm is a wise move.
