Introduction,

I am currently in the midst of reading through journals and searching everything related to frogs.

And it was such a pleasant search i found when i decided to google " frogs in Singapore"
I manage to obtain some really significant information, on "WHERE TO FIND THE BEST FROG PORRIDGE in SINGAPORE"
argg, integrity, and loyalty to the order Anura, i will NOT disclose the information.

ok, and i found out from The Times that Singaporeans consume about 2000kg of frogs a day,
