1. PUTIEN


putien-ambience

In 2000, a Chinese immigrant named Uncle Fong moved to Singapore from his Fujian hometown, Putian. Here, he was surprised to find that, despite the rich diversity of Chinese restaurants in Singapore, none served authentic Putian or Fujian cuisine. Determined to fill this gap, he founded PUTIEN’s flagship restaurant along Kitchener Road. The restaurant quickly gained acclaim, earning a Michelin Star for six consecutive years and expanding to over 15 outlets across Singapore, with many more in the region.

PUTIEN stands out as one of the rare Chinese restaurant franchises in Singapore that truly honours its culinary roots. Specialising in Fujian cooking, the brand focuses on seasonal ingredients, with an emphasis on fresh seafood, particularly shellfish and fish, and mushrooms that build deep, complex flavours.

putien-flatlay

The Fujian Red Mushroom Seafood Lor Mee (from $18.80++ for 800g) is a signature dish for good reason. 13 ingredients, including rare red mushrooms harvested from China’s Wuyi Mountains, are prepared in a pork bone broth that has been boiled for up to eight hours. If you’re dining with a group, don’t skip the 100-Second’ Stewed Yellow Croaker ($16++ per person), expertly boiled for precisely 100 seconds to preserve the natural freshness and delicate texture of the fish.

Diners can enjoy up to 10% off when dining in at all PUTIEN outlets, including their celebrated Michelin-approved Kitchener Road outlet! To enjoy this deal while it lasts, open your Grab app when it’s time to pay for your meal. Select Dine Out, search for PUTIEN, then tap on “Pay Bill”. Enter the amount of your total bill, and the 10% offer will be applied automatically.

Plus, first-time Dine Out users get an additional $5 off their total using the code ‘DINEOUTNEW’, with a minimum spend of $10.

Dubbed the “No. 1 Best-Selling Char Siew Rice In China”, it would be a crime to leave out Keming Bing Sat from our list. The highlight here is, of course, their famous Char Siew Rice ($10.90++), featuring thick cuts of succulent char siew, fresh kai lan, and sunny-side-up eggs, all served atop fragrant Wuchang rice.

The Scallion Oil Chicken Chop Rice on Hot Plate ($13.90++) is another standout. Each plate comes with a thick, juicy slab of grilled chicken, coated in scallion oil and garnished with spring onions, served alongside fluffy rice, purple lettuce, and a sunny-side-up egg. While you’re here, don’t miss out on their popular Ice Bear Drink Series ($5.90++), which comes with adorable bear-shaped ice cubes!
