I treated my family including my girlfriend to Putien for a meal. There were 5 people and we ordered a Set Meal for 4 (Set Meal A- $108++). They did not have any Set Meal for 5 people and we were worried that the four person set meal may not be enough but the waitress assured us that it would be more than enough.One thing to note is that for this branch of Putien, they have really nice seatings. They gave us a huge table for 8 people. On the table there was also a lazy suzie (the spin around gla
One thing to note is that for this branch of Putien, they have really nice seatings. They gave us a huge table for 8 people. On the table there was also a lazy suzie (the spin around glass). I recommend this place for large family gathering as they have big tables.
While waiting for the food to be served, there are pickled dishes for you to whet your appetite. I must say it did help to build my appetite. The pickled cucumber was very crunchy.
But i preferred the pickled pineapple carrot raddish dish, the acidity in this dish really evoke your hunger and make you ready for the mains.
They started off with cold dish after which this delicious toufu dish was served. I could hardly find such dishes elsewhere. In this toufu dish, there were plenty of cabbages. The cabbages were braised till very soft, it releases all the sweetness into the soup. There are also a lot of seafood in the soup too, they too contribute sweetness to the soup due to their freshness.
The next dish was their steam fish. It is not the normal steam fish. They actually steamed the fish with chilli so the dish is on the spicy side. Their chilli is the hot and sour kind, it goes really well with very fresh fish as the fish has its own natural sweetness. The fish was pretty large in size too.
Another thing great about this place is their service. The waitresses are very attentive and one even gave us an additional dessert for free. Their dessert only have 4 portions since it is a set meal for four, but the kind waitress offered us an extra bowl and did not charge us. It is such good service that really makes your day.The dessert is some sort of jelly with fresh fruit toppings. My mother said the jelly was ice jelly. The jelly itself was not too sweet, tasted kind of light in fact.
It is a great way to end a very filling dinner and the four person share is indeed enough for five people. We all left with bursting stomachs.Post
