Two pepper and salt deep fried pork trotters at MYR 15.90++ (10% service charge and 6% SST = MYR 18.45 nett) each. Just like
the ones we ate here in 2017, they are nice - practically no meat at all, only skins and gelatinous tendons, very soft chewy, full of collagen. From now on, we will eat this dish here once a year.
Deep Fried Yam with duck (small portion) at MYR 27.90++ (MYR 32.36 nett). I have eaten this dish before in 2012 at Pu Tien One Utama and liked it so I order it again after 7 years of not eating it.
The yam paste is very thick and soft so I like it. The duck meat sandwiched inside the yam paste does not have a strong duck taste so my friend finds the taste of this dish to be boring with no kick to it but I like the mellow flavour. A small clove found its way into my mouth and the clove taste lingers on.
Since there are two of us and we did not order any drinks, each of us order an individual portion extra small bowl of noodles in broth.
Lor mee for 1 pax at MYR 13.90++ (MYR 16.12 nett).
A bowl of extra small Ca Fen (a mixture of mee sua and mee hoon with soup and vegetables, small cubes of tofu, seafood and bits of pork intestines) for 1 pax at MYR 13.90++ (MYR 16.12 nett). My friend prefers Lor mee because this felt like just drinking broth because the noodles are too fine and soft.
No more broth so the tofu, mee sua and mee hoon can now be seen.
Default appetiser at MYR 2.90++ (MYR 3.36 nett). I believe they are slices of jicama pickled with orange squash because it tastes like that to me.
Total late lunch for 2 pax: MYR 104.85 nett without any drinks. Satisfying meal but definitely a once-a-year event.
Ok ok I'm interested in the collagen pork. Don't mind making it more than once a year affair also.
ReplyDeleteit is tasty. that's for sure.
DeleteSound so tempting from how you describe, I would enjoy this meal too. SG's lor mee usually dark in colour while yours is white in colour
ReplyDeleteThis Putien restaurant is from SG so you can visit it in SG to eat the white lor mee.
DeleteSo cheap, the crispy pata. I sure would love the yam duck, looks like our checkerboard duck here but no, I don't think it's the same.
ReplyDeleteit is not big. in fact quite small. that's why the price is like this.
DeleteYummy to the collagens. I love it!!
ReplyDeletesame here.
DeleteDelicious collagen. My eyes are on the top 2 dishes.
ReplyDeletedelicious! yes!
DeleteOnce-a-year why?
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since my last visit (lunch). Coz I keep asking for the fried oyster and they always don't have that until later in the day.
cos there are other food to eat elsewhere so can only be back after a year.
DeleteWow! Wow! Two pepper and salt deep fried pork trotters looks so yummy and cheap. I can make it weekly affair.
ReplyDeleteif you want to, of course you can. putien would be happy to see you weekly.
