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.
