Hopping Frogs
Frog legs were introduced to the Eastern world by the French, and Singaporeans improved on this delicacy. They made frog-leg porridge out of it. Why? We have no idea, but they did. It appears to be very healthy and high in minerals and vitamins, but the name of the dish is a definite turnoff for us. You might think that porridge (being a porridge) is eaten for breakfast, but it isn’t. It’s usually served with dim sam and other meat dishes.

World Toilet Day
So, Singaporeans, like most of us, prefer clean surroundings and toilets. They do, however, value toilets. And turned the significance of them into an entire day. Every November 19th, they observe World Toilet Day. It is now supposed to be celebrated worldwide, but the majority of participants are Singaporeans. We (very easily) found the humorous side of this day, but the true meaning is to raise awareness about the global sanitation crisis. They only needed to come up with a new name. That’s it.
