Return to Singapore 1995

Before rebirth, Li Xiaofan had been to this restaurant several times, and the impression was still there. He remembered that the frog meat in this restaurant was tender and smooth, with a rich sauce, and paired with a pot of hot white porridge, it was unforgettable.

Although it was already midnight, the business in this restaurant was still very good. There were many people queuing at the door. After waiting for five minutes, Tang Jiaming and Brother Peng took everyone to find a large table in the store.

The business of this restaurant was really good. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the dishes came up.

The clay pots served here looked very authentic. The surface of each clay pot was burnt to a charred texture, which made people feel very nostalgic.

The waiter first brought two pots, one pot was a pot of thick raw white porridge, and the other pot was a pot of frogs with scallions and ginger.

The frogs mentioned in these restaurants in Geylang are actually bullfrogs. Don’t think that the name "frog pot" means that the frogs and porridge are cooked together. In fact, the porridge base and frogs are served in different pots. Frogs are available in several flavors, including Kung Pao, Ginger and Scallion, and Chicken Essence. Kung Pao and Ginger and Scallion both have thick sauces, but Kung Pao is spicy and Ginger and Scallion is sweet. Both of these are delicious when paired with the white porridge in the store. Brother Ming and his friends simply ordered all kinds of casserole frogs in each flavor.

As soon as Li Xiaofan opened the lid of the clay pot, the rich aroma inside the casserole immediately spread. The frogs absorbed the essence of the sauce and ingredients, and the meat was firm and plump, with rich gravy. Kung Pao and Ginger and Scallion basically cover its frog flavor, and the frog meat gives people a feeling of tenderness and deliciousness.

"Wow, it smells so good, we have to start first!" Tianyu and A Ling couldn't wait to raise their chopsticks and spoons.

"Didn't you have dinner?" Tang Jiaming smiled.

Ah Ling pretended to be pitiful and said, "We only had a bowl of instant noodles in the apartment this afternoon..."

"Haha, so pitiful!"

Ah Ling continued, "We worked until the early hours of this morning last night, drank too much, and went to bed near noon. We got up late in the afternoon, and we vomited before, so we didn't have much appetite when we got up in the afternoon..."

"Then you should eat more now, drink porridge to nourish your stomach! Come, I will teach you how to make it taste better, you can sprinkle white pepper and sesame oil on the porridge..." Tang Jiaming is a master of eating, drinking and having fun, proficient in everything, and a senior foodie.

This white porridge has been boiled into a pulp, and it is soft and fluffy when you eat it. Then sprinkle white pepper and sesame oil on the porridge. Li Xiaofan and Tianyu feel that it is particularly delicious and satisfying to drink it in their mouths according to Brother Ming's method.

The frogs are tender and delicious, the sauce is thick and light, and the white porridge is fragrant!

Everyone is very satisfied with it!

While talking, another special dish was served: oatmeal shrimp. The oatmeal shrimps are not covered with bread crumbs, but oatmeal with a light aroma of milk and oatmeal. Each palm-sized shrimp is covered with oatmeal and fried until crispy. Under the action of heat, the aroma of oatmeal is fully stimulated, and the perfect heat allows the shrimp meat to retain its fresh and tender taste.

"Wow, it smells so good!" A Ling praised, "For someone like me who is too lazy to peel the shrimp shells, putting the whole shrimp in my mouth is the most enjoyable!"

"Here, this is the dark beer and raw eggs you ordered!" The waiter brought up several bottles of dark beer and a few raw eggs.

Tianyu was surprised when she saw it, "Should we crack the raw eggs and put them in the casserole to eat together?"

Ming Ge laughed: "Haha, Xiaoyuer, if you like to eat it this way, you can try it!"

"I don't want to try it, will it taste good this way?"

While talking, Ming Ge and Peng Ge poured a small amount of dark beer into the glass, then cracked the raw eggs and poured them directly into the glass containing dark beer, shook it a few times, and then raised the glass to drink it together.

"Wow, so cool! It's strong and satisfying!" Ming Ge and Peng Ge shouted after drinking.

Oh, what kind of drinking method is this? Tianyu was a little confused.

A Ling whispered in Tianyu's ear: "They men say that drinking this way can enhance virility..."

"Ah? There is this function?" Tianyu's mouth opened wide.

"Afan, do you want a glass of dark beer with eggs?" Ming Ge asked Li Xiaofan.

Li Xiaofan smiled and waved his hands: "Brother Ming, forget it, I'm afraid of getting angry and having a nosebleed if I drink it!"

Tang Jiaming pointed at Tianyu and said: "Haha, let Xiaoyu help you relieve your anger tonight!"

After being told by Brother Ming, Tianyu's face next to Li Xiaofan turned red, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and drank the porridge without saying anything, and was actually shy.

After a while of arguing, Brother Peng and another friend left with two girls.

Only Tang Jiaming, Li Xiaofan, A Ling and Tianyu were left at the table.

After taking a puff of cigar, Tang Jiaming asked Tianyu: "Xiaoyu, how many people live in one room in the apartment dormitory where you live?"

Tianyu replied: "Hey, the conditions inside are not very good. There are two bunk beds in each room, which can accommodate four people. But sometimes there are two people, sometimes three people..."

"Oh, the accommodation conditions are so bad! Xiaoyu, have you been to Orchard Road?" Tang Jiaming continued to ask.

"I went there once with my little sister. Orchard Road is really beautiful. The only drawback is that things are too expensive!" Tianyu said with a smile.

"Haha, then should we stay at a five-star hotel on Orchard Road tonight to see the beautiful night view?" Tang Jiaming said casually.

"Now? We?" Tianyu said in astonishment.

"Yes, let's go to the most luxurious Mandarin Hotel on Orchard Road! You and Afan stay in one room, and I and A Ling stay in one room, how about it?"

After hearing this, Tianyu lowered her head and kept silent, pretending not to hear, and continued to drink her porridge and eat her oatmeal shrimp.

She secretly observed Li Xiaofan's reaction with the corner of her eyes. When she was half drunk in the box before, when Li Xiaofan held her in his arms and danced slowly together, the feeling of being cared for was really good!

The unique smell of young boys on Li Xiaofan was very nice, with a youthful atmosphere that fascinated her. However, Ming Ge's proposal just now, asking her to go to a five-star hotel in Orchard Road with Li Xiaofan to get a room, was too sudden, and she was not mentally prepared at all...

Li Xiaofan took a sip of dark beer and said with a smile: "Ming Ge, thank you for your kindness! It's getting late, you guys go first! Xiaoyuer and I will stay for a while to chat!"

Tang Jiaming looked at Li Xiaofan and Tianyu, thinking, and then he let go with ill intentions and smiled: "Oh, so you are shy! That's fine, there are many couples hotels in Geylang, and the HOTEL81 opposite is very convenient! Then we won't disturb you two to chat privately, A Ling, let's go!"

"Okay, then Xiaoyuer, A Fan, 88, I wish you a good night!"

Before leaving, A Ling winked at Tianyu mysteriously and made a flying kiss gesture.

After Brother Ming and A Ling left, Li Xiaofan stood up and said, "Tianyu, let's go too!"

"Oh, where are we going?"

Li Xiaofan pointed to the couple's hotel with the neon sign "HOTEL81" and said, "This direction!"

"Ah, are we really going to get a room?"
