| Live Eel Cooked in Natural Spring Water |
Following
the successful DUOTOU Clam season where 130 tons were sold worldwide, PUTIEN
introduces another seasonal ingredient – live eel. Famously known as a delicacy
in Japan, these plump, live eels are best enjoyed in Midsummer (between August
and October).

With
the high demand for live eels from the Japanese market, China has taken the lead
to cultivate eel agriculture concentrated in Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi
provinces to fulfil the demand of the Japanese market.
Master
Chefs at PUTIEN will be showcasing 2 different way on live eel preparation in
PUTIEN, in a minimalist way.

Live Eel Cooked in Natural Spring Water ($29.90). The eel
is cooked in natural spring water with ginger, goji berries and sea salt. The
result is springy and bouncy texture of the eel, with subtle sweet and savoury taste at the same time. The spring water broth is light and sweet. Yummy!!

Pan-fried Live Eel on Hot Plate ($26.90 for small, $40.30 for medium). It is
grilled on the hot plate with only a pinch of sea salt. The eel is plump and
juicy, with a hint of crispiness on the exterior. The flavour is very light, it
might need additional salt and lemon to lift the taste.

I find
the taste and texture of the eel are different from those normally served in a Japanese
restaurant. Instead of the sweet flavour followed with delicate texture, the
eel in PUTIEN is plump and springy. I really enjoy it and was hoping for more.
Yum Yum.

‘100-Second’ Stewed Yellow Croaker $14.90 – Original, Tomato & Sambal. It comes in different flavour but my pick still the original and tomato flavour. No matter which version you choose, you can be sure that each croaker is perfectly cooked.

Overall,
it was a unique experience to try the minimalist preparation of live eels in
PUTIEN. I like both ways, though I would prefer if the portion is bigger.
Cheers!!
