PUTIEN Pot of Goodies - Abalone

Well-loved for its quality cuisine and warm service, PUTIEN will once again be hosting Lunar New Year celebrations with a bountiful spread of festive delicacies. The highlight for this year includes ‘Pot of Goodies’ and Prosperity Yu Sheng.

PUTIEN Pot of Goodies - Abalone

Pot of Goodies Abalone ($498 for 10 pax) is PUTIEN version of Pen Chai, filled to the brim with top-grade ingredients such as Abalone, Dried Oysters, Scallops, Roast Pork, Prawns, Fishcake, Seaweed, Shiitake Mushrooms and Chicken Wings. The broth base used to braise all the ingredients are robust and filled with collagen. As a fan of Pen Chai, I am just salivating when I am writing this review.

Of course, Chinese New Year celebration in Singapore is not complete without the Prosperity Yu Sheng ($49.80 for Large). The vegetables are fresh and crunchy. The sweetness level of the sauce is just right, on top of that, PUTIEN also added their signature seaweed in their Yu Sheng.

Steam Soon Hock in soya sauce. The fish is fresh and steamed perfectly, the superior soya sauce just enhances the natural sweetness of the soon hock. Spring onions are added for finishing touch. Simple, yet perfectly executed.

PUTIEN Style Pork Ribs. Tender and succulent pork ribs braised with gooey sweet sauce. Keep a look out for the surprise ingredient at the bottom of the ribs, Wai San. This root vegetable helps to thicken the gravy and balance the fattiness of the ribs.

Stir-Fried Yam. One of 10 PUTIEN Signature dish. Caramelised externally, yet soft and moist internally plus filled with the delicious flavour of the yam. Yammy!!!

Conpoy with White Mushroom and Broccoli. What a delicious way to cook broccoli. The broccoli is crunchy, while the flavour from white mushroom, combines with conpoy (dried scallops) and abalone sauce made this gravy so heavenly. This is a “Rice Thief” dish, where I can polish off a bowl of rice with the gravy alone.

Longevity Noodles. Looks similar to PUTIEN Lor Mee, the broth is milky and robust, the combination of the eggs, peanuts and seaweed is just signature PUTIEN. However, the noodle texture is too mushy for my liking.

White Fungus Soup with Longan and Red Dates. The red dates and sweet broth are very sweet indeed. However, as the sweetness represents diners with the outlook of a sweet and successful new year, I just enjoyed it.
