Pu Tien Restaurant 莆田菜馆 (Marina Square)

Pu Tien has always been known for quite quality food. I tried the one at Tampines Mall which was extremely crowded and did not really enjoy my meal then.

Quite a large bunch of us descended upon the Marina Square outlet for dinner one night and we were pretty lucky they had a table that could accommodate all 12 of us.

Food was quite good. The garlic prawns and drunken cockles were amongst the best dishes. I am not a cockles person, but the way the cockles were prepared with the garlic masking all odour, it was simply fabulous. The deep fried duck with yam is another must try.

Beijing - Nov 08 (part 1)

Was invited by Starwood (who operates the hotel brands: St Regis, W, Westin, Luxury Collections, Sheraton, Four Points and Aloft) to visit Beijing and look at their 6 properties. Felt like a refugee, having to change 3 hotels (1 each night) and inspected a total of 6 hotels.

Going to share some food shots taken during the trip. If you are looking for traditional Chinese food or exotic stuff, you will be dissapointed as all my meals were hosted in restaurants within the hotels we visited.
