China's Xiaojiaotian Sichuan Restaurant in Singapore

Bullfrog with pickled chili

I saw signs for this place at City Square Mall bragging about being the "No. 1 Seller of Pickled Chilli Bullfrogs in China" (180 Kitchener Road #04-37, 6312-4698). I knew exactly what I was going to order then, even though the menu featured a number of Sichuan items like laziji that I wanted to try too.

The frog legs tasted like proverbial chicken but lighter and firmer, and was also like eating crab in that one had to slowly work through the little bones. The yellow chili peppers tasted like Chicago sport peppers, while the broth was sour from the pickles. It wasn't super spicy, but apparently they toned it down for local tastes.
