When ppl talk about Geylang 芽笼路 (aka in Chinese Hokkien “鸡笼”), it’s always refer as red-light district of Singapore. Thousands of Asian prostitutes mostly from other countries like Thailand, Indonesia, China and Malaysia work in Geylang, and visitors and locals alike flock to the area each evening and stay till morning.

But I’m not talking about that k! Besides what it’s being famous for, it’s also famous for food, especially Fresh Frog Porridge!

Always wanted to try out the Fresh Frog Porridge but didn’t get to go, but it’s our fortune that it’s in SS2 now all the way from Singapore! There’s branch in Petaling Jaya now! Finally I get to try the famous fresh frog porridge.

1 Frog RM12, 2 Frogs RM24, 3 Frog RM33

Spring Onion Frog Leg 姜葱田鸡

Dry Chilli Frog Leg 宫保田鸡

Didn’t order Frog Porridge 田鸡粥 because cannot finish so many lo coz this also quite common in Malaysia so only tried the other type claypot type.

The White Porridge 白粥 itself also taste very good! It’s not watery type but it’s very thick, almost solid paste. (Different size RM3/RM4/RM5, just order RM5 if 3-4 person is sharing, if not enough then order another small or medium portion.)

Fried Hong Kong Cabbage 炸香港芥籣

Lemon Chicken 柠檬鸡

Overall the food is nice and worth to try but I personally think that it’s a bit on high price.

Tried out this 拾八风味 Room Eighteen at Tropicana City Mall last few weeks, overall it’s so so only but the price is a bit pricey! One Ala Carte dish could cost you about RM15++ gov tax, service tax…

BBQ Pork Rice – It’s good but expect it about RM15

Beef Hor Fun (Wet) – Normal saja… and it’s pricey too! You can have this at a cheaper price at any tai pai tong!

Beef Hor Fun (Dry) – Normal saja… and it’s pricey too! You can have this at a cheaper price at any tai pai tong!

Squid – A bit salty!

Dessert

Black Sesame – Do not ever order this! It’s make from powder and taste watery… Worst.

Watermelon Aloe Vera – So so only…

Citrus Romance (Guai Lin Gou) – This is so so but at least better than the rest.

It’s not recommended but if you want to give it a try, you may do so but do not put so much hope on it. Really disappointed as it’s a subsidiary of Tai Thong Group and I expect more!

Every wonder Popeyes is a franchise fast food chain in Malaysia?

Family Set

Popeyes – Juicy and Spicy Chicken. It’s way better than KFC and McDonal’s Fried Chicken. The worst thing is KFC just opposite this Popeyes in Taman Tun,TTDI. So I think there will be less ppl go to KFC since the quality is better and price is almost the same.

This shrimp is much bigger and better than KFC Shrimp Stix.

The Mashed Potatoes with Cajun Gravy – is nice, but some ppl might not like it as it got a bit garlic taste.

Coleslaws – Normal saja…

Bun / Biscuit – Very nice!

Spoon + Fork = Spork…

Big Deals – Offer now!

Cajun Fries Large RM3.50 – Very yummy!

If you only order the set of 2pcs Chicken, 1 Biscuit, 1 Mashed Potatoes, 1 Coleslaws, 1 Soft drinks = RM10.40!
