Putien @ SS15 Courtyard
With the advent of Grabfood, Putien's door is open to those who eat solo. They can sample the menu pioneered from the Singapore kitchen accorded with 1-Michelin Star from 2016 - 2018. Personally, I eat solo on many occasions. But it's kind of like a sore thumb sticking out eating in a fine dining restaurant.
Over two rounds of Grabfood, I got 6 different dishes over to the privacy of my home, thanks to the faithful rider. They have not got an order wrong, despite me, ordering time and time again, sometimes over 10 occasions a week.
The theme that runs through Putien dishes so far as I can tell after 6 dishes, is the usage of common Chinese spices like star anise, cloves and 5 spice powder. I seemed to encounter one or more of them in their dishes. Secondly, the broth was very thick.
Some were there to mask certain unwanted smells or tastes while heightening a particular fragrance and flavour. Take, for example, their Braised Pork Intestine. It calls for a good amount of spices. This is my favourite. I esp like the chewy texture and the layers that have absorbed the spices and sauces. The more I chewed, the more joy I derived from it.
Next was another porky dish of Cold Pork Trotters Jelly. It came with an ice-bath to keep the jelly from melting. Flavoured with spicy pepper chili's and formed into a block by the pig's gelatin, it was then then diced. One of the best dishes around. It aggressively attacked the tongue and the nostrils. Don't miss it.
The Ah Yuan Fragrant Herbal Chicken was kind of flat after the first two strong dishes. So I suggest to finish it before eating the robust tasting dishes. Probably we have been spoilt by the many good poached chicken around town and not easily impress unless the dish turns out spectacularly well.
The Braised Homemade Bean Curd was also light in taste perhaps purposely so, for us to enjoy the mild aroma and broth that came with it. Understandingly, Putien is not in Szechuan, Yunnan or Hunan. It is in the south of China and food with lighter taste still reigns over there.
On another day I ordered their famous Lor Mee with its carbo rich noodles. It complemented iceky with the soup that was heavily laced with lardy goodness. The smell was so strong and it went well with the thick broth that was derived from long hours of boiling pig's bones. Some pieces of dry scallops completed the concoction. A delightful dish. If you are going solo, this is a must-order.
The last was the Putien style Bian Rou Soup. It was somewhat like Wanton but these are daintier and the skin wrap was more stretchy and sticky through the use of starch. It was different and a new sensation and experience for me. But the soup was overwhelmed by the Lor Mee's dense broth.
All in all, a pleasant experience and they deserve every bit of accolade due to them. I think making a trip there is a must, but before going, I need to drag a few others so that we can order more dishes to sample.
