Chang Jiang G1 Claypot Frog Porridge 长江1号 — Restaurant in Singapore

I passed by this shop few times during the day and always empty. Today dropped by for lunch and only 1 stall available which is supposingly a zhi char stall. Ordered a sweet and Sour Pork rice and added a fried egg. This ended the worst meal I had at Geylang. I only tasted tendon and no meat, fried with a thick coated layer of flour. The sauce is a prepacked item from the taste with few pieces of chili pepper and cucumber. This is not the usual Ku Ru Rou you get from any Zi Char stalls. Luckily I ordered an extra fried egg, otherwise I would have left the plate untouched. Ended I had rice with egg and the few pieces of veg. On top of it, the dish costed $8 and the iced tea $1. Gave the cashier $10 and waited for the change at the counter. The guy said he would bring the change and drink to me. Ended the change never came until the end of my meal. There was no other customers when I was there so no excuse even for me to wait for the change when I ordered and he said he will bring to me instead. $1 may not be much but it was the attitude I...

I was eager to try their mix of dishes. The Ginger Onion Frog presented a robust flavor, albeit a tad on the saltier side for my plate. Next is the Prawn Paste Chicken, it was a delight to find the authentic prawn paste essence well-incorporated, though a pinch more salt could have elevated the taste. The Sambal KangKong had a fresh appearance reminiscent of a garden salad, yet it too could benefit from a slight increase in seasoning to enhance its flavors. Overall, while the meal had its moments, it fell short of hitting the mark for a truly crave-worthy experience. On a side note, the service was commendable given that a single staff member efficiently juggled multiple roles—from cashiering and serving to tidying...

I ordered a Ginger Frog pot, a bowl of rice, a bowl of rice porridge, and two cups of juice. The taste was so good that I quickly finished two bowls of rice. Of course, there were many small bones, but that was totally fine. I definitely want to eat it again.

However, the ordering style was a little difficult for me. There was an instruction sheet provided in many languages, including Japanese. In Japan, “self-service” usually means serving food by yourself, but here the word was used to mean “you have to pay here,” which felt a bit strange.

The lime juice was so fresh and cold that I drank it right away—it went perfectly with the strong flavor of the frog pot.

Perhaps I will...
