Teochew lunch set at Zui Yu Xuan Teochew Restaurant at Amoy Street Singapore

Recently celebrated my brother's 70th birthday at Zui Yu Xuan Teochew Restaurant in Amoy Street. First time we lunch here as we were Teochew and love teochew food. Read that they had this dish called Puning Bean Curd. History of this Puning Bean Curd was our childhood dish as my my Dad was born in Puning, Swatow, China. He sailed to Singapore in a boat from China with his parents.

As a child I loved the puning bean curd is really different from the rest of bean curd. Once fried, it is crispy on the outside and silky smooth on the inside and of course it goes well with my dad home made chilli. This Puning Bean Curd used to be found all over Singapore but soon faded away and no longer able to buy Puning Bean Curd in Singapore.

So we are so happy to chance upon this Puning Bean Curd after so many decades in this Teochew Restaurant. My siblings and I really like it so much and we visit the restaurant again hahaha, yes for the Puning Bean Curd.

Maybe I should start visiting my dad's hometown in Swatow, China (now called Shantou)

The restaurant is housed in this ancient building that looked like a temple. It was once a free school. Read more about the free school from source .

Before starting our meal, we were served some chinese tea in this cute cup with a fish at the bottom of the cup.

After finished drinking the tea, I could see the fish in the cup.

We got the complimentary prosperity bun since it was my brother's 70th birthday and my sister is a member of Jumbo Group.

We ordered the set menu. Our fist dish is the Teochew Classic Platter that comes with 4 different dishes.

Teochew Puning Bean Curd

We loved and missed the Teochew Puning Bean Curd, we ordered another two plates of it. Yummy.
