Uncle Fong is a popular Chongqing hotpot restaurant from Hong Kong that’s also under the Putien group. For those who are unaware, Putien is a popular local restaurant chain that specialises in home-style Fujian food. They started as a humble coffeeshop stall in 2000 before expanding to over 100 branches across the world, including outlets in Indonesia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Their OG restaurant along Kitchener Road was awarded one Michelin star for seven years since 2016, before losing the accolade this year.
