Since I'm going overseas soon, I figured that I better eat whatever local delights I can before its too late. So.... I started my search for good frog legs to eat. Terence said we should try this place called Sinma since his friend recommended it. So we ended up at Sinma Seafood Restaurant to check it out!
The restaurant has 2 shops located opposite each other so it's quite common to see their workers shuffling between the 2 shops to serve food and drinks. Once again we were stumped when ordering food because the waitresses are all from China. Couldn't really understand what she was saying, especially when she was trying to recommend some dishes to us. Thankfully menu had english so we just point and ordered from there.
First up was the sambal (a type of chilli paste) potato leaves. It is stir fried with garlic and hae bee (dried little shrimp). Dish was quite spicy but I loved the taste. Potato leaves have a nicer texture than kang kong, though that's my personal preference. Its less stringy and slightly softer. Love it man!
Next up was the special made tofu. This dish was really good man. The skin outside was crispy and the tofu inside was soft and silky. It was topped off with this minced meat and hae bee mixture, and drenched in sauce. Very tasty and great to eat with rice! Just thinking about it now is making me drool.
And last but not least was the chicken essence frog legs. Wah this was heavenly man! In fact the soup tasted just like turtle soup that I always crave! Very strong herbs taste and very rich. In hokkien they always say "jiak por" (add heat i think). Frog legs are great la, so soft and tender.... Why must they be so expensive???? =(At the end of the meal we were super satisfied la, can't imagine we ate so much for supper. I was even contemplating having a second bowl of rice! Supper was a little pricey as the frog legs costs $24 but I guess it was worth it. Terence almost ordered fish la, that would have just killed me financially. Thankfully I stopped him and ordered the tofu instead. I think this is a good place to visit! Must try!
