I really rather like the Putien chain – the flavours are light but intense, and while service can get rather hectic when full-house, it’s efficient and earnest when you do get it. highly reliable, consistently delicious, and a large enough menu to return frequently (though we do have our favourites, of course).
We started with jellyfish – decent, though I’ve had better. the better starter was their fried century egg: wedges fried up in a crispy batter and tossed in a sweet-sour sauce; this was delicious. it always makes me laugh when americans use these delicious things as fear-factor type challenges.
The salt and pepper clams are addictive, and the beancurd with kailan are a must order. the beancurd sheets are wrapped to a satisfying thickness – so they bite al-dente and the flavour of the soya bean comes through.
But my favourite really is their squirrel fish. Essentially a filleted fish fried to a golden-brown and topped with a sweet and sour sauce. It’s completely, and utterly delicious – the fish is fresh and moist, the batter stands up fantastically to the sauce, which is enlivened by the tiny bits of vegetables strewn atop. I have massive cravings for this fish.
The meat dishes are pretty good home-cooked too. We finished the meal with a fruit platter and syruped loquats – I’m not one for syrupy things but the latter were very interesting.
Honest cooking, good prices, decent portions and highly consistent standards even across outlets – and I have a soft spot for regional Chinese cooking (much of what we have locally is more generally Cantonese than anything else).
