Pu Xian Restaurant serves Puxian cuisine, the coastal Fujian cooking of Putian and Xianyou, from #02-04 Hougang Rivercourt, Blk 377 Hougang St. 32, and carries a 4.6 Google rating. Puxian cooking runs lighter and clearer than most Hokkien food, built on pork and dried-seafood stock, handmade textures and plain, confident seasoning. Bian rou, wontons wrapped in pounded pork paste rather than flour skins, and lor mee finished with shredded seaweed and peanuts are the classics regulars use to judge a kitchen. A good stock should taste slow-cooked and faintly sweet, never MSG-flat, and the plain bee hoon will show it. Plates are home-style and meant for sharing, so groups do better ordering wide than one dish each. Heartland mall restaurants are busiest at weekday lunch, so an early or late table is the calm one. For Hougang residents, a well-rated Puxian table at Rivercourt puts the coastal flavours of Fujian within a short walk of home.
