cheap and good chinese food

have tried pioneer wharf restaurant at jurong point recently and it was overpriced, so i'm not going to blog about my purse-emptying experience there. instead, i will be concentrating on another chinese restaurant starting with p, which is a current favourite of my family.



putien is located on the second level of jurong point and this restaurant chain has been serving excellent and affordable food since 2000. there are only 30 over dishes listed on the menu, however they have been perfected such that every dish is prepared skillfully.


bamboo herbal prawn, $3.80 for two pieces. the prawns were served with wine sauce and were huge and fresh. presentation was special as it was served in a small bamboo cup.


shredded meat with bun, $2.80/piece. love this! the buns were actually fried man-tou, one of my absolute loves. the restaurant provided plastic gloves so you could eat and stuff the buns with shredded meat without dirtying your fingers.


deep fried tenggirl fish, $12. quite a typical dish in any restaurant, nothing really special about the fish. but the sauce was quite unique. it was a soy sauce and garlic mix, yet it was not very salty, thus you could dunk the fish in without worrying about your sodium intake.


sweet and sour pork with lychees, $10. i was expecting more lychees, but there were only two, which was quite a pity as the lychees were good with the sauce.


last but not least, yam paste with ginko nuts, $2.80. very reasonably priced for a dessert in a restaurant. the serving wasn't very big, just nice to end off a meal.
