PUTIEN - One Star Michelin Restaurant Serves Amazing Fujian Cuisine

PUTIEN specializes in heartwarming Hokkien dishes from the coastal province of Fujian.

I know the flagship PUTIEN restaurant at Kitchener Road was awarded one Michelin star in 2016 - 2019 and 2021 - 2022 but is it worth all the hype?

Let’s find out.

The Food

You can see the full PUTIEN menu here.

PUTIEN - Seaweed and Mini Shimps Dressed with Sauce

Seaweed and Mini Shrimps Dressed with Sauce 虾苗头水紫菜 [S$9.80] is one of the signature appetizers here. PUTIEN only uses the first harvest of fully-grown seaweed harvested every year. It is slightly sweet and sourish which helps to whet the appetite.

PUTIEN - Braised Bamboo Shoot

It’s amazing how flavorful the Braised Bamboo Shoot [S$8.80] thanks to braising in slow heat for 8 hours.

PUTIEN - Cold Pork Trotters Jelly

I thought Cold Pork Trotter Jelly 家常猪蹄冻 [S$9.80] is a Northeastern Chinese dish, I was surprised to see it in a Fujian restaurant. They did a great job, the pork trotter jelly is bouncy with collagen.

PUTIEN - Stewed Yellow Croaker with Tomato

Yellow croaker is a fish species native to Fujian. 100 Second Stewed Yellow Croaker 家乡焖笋干 [S$16] is another signature dish in PUTIEN. Even though the fish was only size of my hand, I was pleasantly surprised by the tenderness of Stewed Yellow Crocket with Tomato番茄黄花鱼 [S$16]. They’re also the original and Chinese sauerkraut versions available.

PUTIEN - Fujian Seafood Lor Mee

The clear-broth Fujian Seafood Lor Mee 福建海鲜卤面 [Regular S$13.80, Medium S$27.60, Large S$41.20] is a far cry from the black goey lor mee I see in coffeeshops and hawker centres in Singapore. The sweetness from the prawns, dried clams and fresh clams gives the noodles a natural flavor.

PUTIEN - Mazu Mee Sua

Old people love the longevity symbolism of Mazu Mee Sua 妈祖平安面 [Regular S$12.80, Medium S$25.60, Large S$38.20] so it’s perfect for birthday celebrations.

Conclusion

Now I am convinced that PUTIEN is worthy of its one Michelin star. The use of fresh premium produce paired with suitable cooking method produces great-tasting Fujian cuisine.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
