Chinese cuisines can never fail to bring me
warmth and comfort and this was exactly what Putien Chinese Cuisine aims to offer to all their diners.
PUTIEN restaurant started as a coffee shop
in Singapore’s Kitchener Road in 2000 by Mr. Fong Chi Chung who migrated from
Putian of Fujian Province in China 16 years ago. Borne from the inspiration to
recreate home-cooked dishes from his native homeland, this was how PUTIEN
started which has now grown to over 28 outlets internationally. PUTIEN stays
true to their tagline of using the freshest and best source of ingredients,
presenting seasonal dishes using in-season ingredients and most importantly
retaining the essence of tradition.
The 16th Year Anniversary was a
joyous occasion for PUTIEN as they were awarded the ONE STAR MICHELIN AWARD for
its Kitchener Road Outlet by MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2016. TO mark this
memorable occasion, PUTIEN celebrated their 16th Anniversary and ONE
STAR MICHELIN achievement with a festive gala dinner at their 1 Utama outlet. This
Gala Dinner was the 1st Annual Get-Together for PUTIEN with media
friends and associates as well as launching PUTIEN Festival. The PUTIEN
Festival is a month long celebration featuring Festival Roadshows and special
Festival Menu with a selection of new dishes. That night, we were treated to 11
of PUTIEN Signature Delicacies specially crafted by Executive Chef Li Shunrong
inclusive of their special Festive Menu.
Their Starter Plates had Seaweed with Mini
Shrimps, Braised Bamboo Shoot, PUTIEN Style Century Egg and Braised PUTIEN
Handmade Bean Curd.
Among the starter selections, the PUTIEN Style Century Egg
captured my heart with the amazing flavour! Century egg nicely fried and evenly
covered with their special sauce, this starter definitely kicked start the gala
dinner. The starter selections were flavourful and kept us picking at it whilst
our mains were being prepared.
Moving on to the mains, we have the ‘Yan Pi’
Fish Maw Soup; generous portion of fish maw and rich broth followed by Stir
Fried Seaweed.
The Stir Fried Seaweed was nicely seasoned, still retaining the
chrunchiness from the seaweed and it was definitely enjoyable.
I must say the
Shredded Meat with Mantou was the highlight of the main as you have tender and
well-seasoned shredded pork sautéed with onions plus that fluffy bun just
topped it all. Enjoy the meat and the bun to get a satisfying dish.
For the PUTIEN Festive Menu, you will enjoy
the PUTIEN Deep Fried Yellow Croaker which is a seasonal item. The yellow
croaker is marinated with peppercorn and sea salt for 24 hours before
deep-frying to achieve that crispiness yet retaining the sweet, tender meat
within.
Savor the PUTIEN Lor Mee which exudes the
comfort of home-cooked food as you enjoy springy noodles with their broth. Well
generous with prawns, scallop, clams and mushrooms, this is a huge bowl of lor
mee well shared with your dining companions.
It was a pleasurable first experience for
me dining at PUTIEN and I did enjoy their selection of Chinese cuisine. Don’t
