Background of Putien
The PUTIEN brand traces its roots to its namesake city of Putian – a beautiful coastal suburb in Fujian, with rich cultural history and storied traditions since its settlement over almost one and a half millennium ago. Their delicacies will always carry the essence of our coastal city heritage – fresh, light and invigorating.
– the tale of The Egg & The Guest –
Once upon a time in Putian City, there lived a poor family. All the adults worked the fields in the day, leaving Grandma alone to tend the house.
One day, a guest paid this family a visit. With nothing but four freshly laid eggs to offer, Grandma boiled them and served it to the guest, much to the chagrin of her little grandson.
Even the customaries of the Putian people – that guests should never finish the food they are offered out of kindness to their hosts – the tale had it that she could not save but one egg for him as the guest was from a distant land who was unfamiliar with local tradition.
Grandma turned to the sobbing boy and consoled him: “We will always offer the best to our guests, no matter how little we can afford. That is our way, my child.” Every kid that grew up in Putian City knows the tale of The Egg and the Guest, for it truly embodies the essence of the Putian people – putting their guests before themselves, giving them none other than the very best hospitality.
Tom Yum Kungfu
I believe it is difficult to find another place like Tom Yum Kungfu. A cool contemporary art decked out with retro 80’s-video-game mosaics and blasting Thai pop in the background. Its unique atmosphere is one of the reasons why you should choose to visit them.

Tom Yum Kungfu serves authentic Thai cuisine and is famous for their signature dish, Tom Yum Soups perfected through a refinement of the best traditional Thai recipes. Unsurprisingly, the selection of tom yum soup varieties is fantastic and the complex and the varied tastes is incredible. Their traditional charcoal mookata with a double-decker grill structure that looks like a UFO is also a must try item on the menu. Its distinctive taste really differs from other common mookata in Singapore.

It has a host of other trademark favourites and specials, like a gigantic seafood omelette or addictive deep-fried kangkong to snack on. It keeps the locals and the travellers keep coming back in droves.

The decoration of the restaurant was impressive with its Mediterranean vibe. From the wooden tables and chairs to the napkins and the three-level interior as well as the classical seaside white and blue representing the colour scheme. Blu Kouzina serves authentic Greek cuisine with fresh and quality ingredients which are used in both traditional and creative contemporary dishes. Some of their ingredients are especially flown in from Greece.
