The mothership is purportedly the best of all the branches, and I agree. But taking into consideration the horrendous traffic and parking woes of this Kitchener Road original, I'd much rather head to the town-based branches.
The secret to loving Putien's brand of humble, peasant fare lies with their awesome chilli sauce, which goes with just about everything. It's really where the magic is, and no wonder Putien now bottles this for sale in the open market.
We had:
1) Steamed Live Seabass ($39.20 for 800 gm at $4.90 per 100gm): done perfectly, with soft flaky flesh complemented by the delicate soy sauce.
2) Homemade Beancurd ($9.90) with wobbly strips of silky beancurd, black mushrooms, sugar snap peas, and carrots, swimming in a sumptuous oyster sauce gravy: simple and comforting. A must-try here.
3) Stewed Spinach in Superior Stock ($12.90) flecked with century and salted egg: mild and creamy.
4) Seaweed with Beancurd and Crabmeat Thick Soup ($13.90): wonderfully nuanced and balanced.
5) Fried Heng Hwa Bee Hoon ($8.90): infused with a collagen-rich stock of pork bone and old hens' bones, and dappled with clams, prawns, pork belly, beancurd, mushrooms, cabbage, kailan, and seaweed. Scrumptious with oodles of that awesome chilli sauce. A must-try.
6) Mazu Mee Sua ($8.90) - done in the style of their lor mee, and simmered in a milky pork bone broth, with pork belly, clams and prawns, eggs, mushrooms, snow peas, seaweed, and peanuts: After growing up eating mee sua exclusively as 'sick-food', I much rather have the lor mee instead
