Chinese cuisine is amazing and diverse. Though most people only know Cantonese, there are actually eight very distinctive styles. Fuijan cuisine is one of them. This cuisine focuses more on the original flavor of the ingredients. Taste is more stronger with a mix of spicy, sweet and sour. I guess the closest comparison to a well known example of Fuijan cuisine is Taiwan as most of it's population are Fuijan in origin.Boyfriend and I love Chinese food. So we decided to try out Putien.

Boyfriend and I love Chinese food. So we decided to try out Putien. Originating from Singapore, Putien serves a more modernized version of Fuijan food. They have several locations but as I was near where boyfriend lived, we decided to eat at the Hollywood Plaza branch.
Layout of the restaurant is simplistic. A more casual modern setting. Tables are a bit cramped together but oddly chairs didn't bump and there was easy enough movement to get in and out. Menu is in English and Chinese with photos of everything.
Putien Style Bian Rou Soup with Vinegar ($78). We started off with a soup that I liked more than boyfriend. There were little Fuzhou fish dumplings that is honestly a favorite thing of mine as they are bouncy and tasty with a mix of fish meat and pork. The soup was a mix of sweet and sour as there was vinegar added to it.

Putien Beancurd Stew ($88). A very comfort food type of dish, this was tofu stewed with a very rich sauce. There was a very egg-like texture to the dish. A really nice homestyle dish.
Stir Fried Yam ($88). This was something boyfriend liked more than me as he loves yams. A crispy sweet coating hid a soft powdery inside. It was also piping hot.
Putien Lor Mee ($78). Another very homestyle comfort food. The noodles were braised in a thick rich soup that was sweetened by the shrimp. The noodles were chewy and smooth. There were some shrimp added that tasted fresh. This was serious comfort food.
I noticed they had this cute little container of hot sauce. The writing on the container said it was so good, it was like you found your new found love. Well, it was pretty good but new found love is a bit of an exaggeration. The hot sauce was not very spicy but it had enough kick to keep you happy. It also had a mix of acidity and sweet as well so it wasn't just spicy.
An interesting evening trying a different type of Chinese cuisine. A cuisine I'm not familiar with but for some odd reason while eating it, it felt familiar. If that makes sense. It was very warm and comforting style of food and I'd probably suggest it to friends who a different style of Chinese other than the usual Cantonese, Shanghai and Chiu Chow. Prices not expensive but serving size is also not very large. Service was efficient enough.張貼
