Putian cuisine, also known as Henghwa cuisine or Henghua cuisine, is a style of Chinese cuisine originating from the Putian people of Putian, Fujian Province. It is a style of Fujian cuisine.

Since Putian is a coastal area, ingredients such as seaweed, oysters, clams and other seafood are commonly used in Putian cuisine.

Putian cuisine is also eaten by the Chinese diaspora in South-East Asia. The eponymous "Putien" restaurant in Singapore, originally a simple kopitiam, won a Michelin star in 2016^[1] and has since franchised itself into an international chain.^[2]
