| Baked DUOTOU Clam on Hot Plate |
PUTIEN DUOTOU Clams is back at
PUTIEN. With a staggering amount of 80 tons of DUOTOU Clams sold worldwide last
year, you can expect this crowd-pleaser to generate more interest this year.
This year PUTIEN culinary team
will be serving DUOTOU Clams in eight different ways. Stir-fried
Sambal Chives with DUOTOU Clam ($22.80) and Thai-flavoured
DUOTOU Clam ($21.80) are two new dishes created for this year. The sambal
is fragrant, tasted close to the traditional XO sauce. The sambal binds the
tasty chives with the freshness of the DUOTOU clams nicely.

Meanwhile, Thai-Flavoured DUOTOU
Clam is more like a salad. DUOTOU clams mixed with cucumber, mango, shallots,
onions, peanuts and homemade Thai Sweet Chilli dressing. It is refreshing indeed.

Baked DUOTOU
Clam on Hot Plate ($21.80). The best-selling dish for three consecutive
years. The DUOTOU Clams are steamed on the bed of sea salt. I tried it two
different ways, first I just ate the clam on its own, as you can taste the subtle
sweetness of the clam. The second way is to dip it with a touch of salt, where
you can taste the brainy flavour of the clams, and enjoy the flavours of the
sea.

Steamed DUOTOU
Clam with Wine ($22.80). The clams are packed in double boiled soup bowl
and steamed with Chinese Huadiao Wine. The wine helps to accentuate the flavour
of the clams and add sweetness to it.

DUOTOU
Clam Omelette ($22.80). Reminds me of Or Luak. The juicy and springy
texture of the DUOTOU clams bodes well with the velvety egg texture and spring
onion. Feels like a comfort dish and a good way to introduce the clams to kids.

Salted
Spicy DUOTOU Clam ($22.80). The clams are lightly battered with chopped
chilli, salt and pepper. The crispy exterior, juicy flesh plus chilli salt
pepper seasoning sure making this dish a crowd pleaser.

Steamed
DUOTOU Clam with Minced Garlic ($19.80). One of the most common steaming methods
of seafood with shells. It infused the clams with the sweetness of the garlic
and umami flavour from the soy sauce. Good to have with rice.

Stir-Fried
DUOTOU Clam with Ginger & Spring Onion ($21.80). One of my favourite
dishes of the evening. It is fragrant and juicy, plus the gravy is just so delicious.

The PUTIEN Bian Rou soup ($4.90) is
a Fujianese speciality with more than 500 years of history. The dumpling wrapper
is made from pork meat, filled with more pork feelings. It is meaty, springy
and swimming in robust tangy broth filled with seaweed.

‘100-Second’
Stewed Yellow Croaker ($14.90). It comes with three versions now. The original,
tomato and sambal. Each one of them has its own interesting flavour, and yet
the yellow croakers remain perfectly steamed.

PUTIEN Sweet & Sour Pork with
Lychees ($14.90). Crispy exterior with juicy and succulent pork internally. The
combination of tomato sauce and sweetness of the lychee made this a very
appetizing dish. I was hoping the portion can be bigger.
