What’s Their Story?
Asia Grand Restaurant has a long, winding history—the kind that gives it character. It didn’t just appear one day at Fairmont Hotel Singapore. It was born decades ago at the former Asia Hotel on Scotts Road, back when it was still tied to its Hong Kong roots as Tsui Hang Village.
Then came Odeon Towers, where many long-time diners first fell in love with the famous Peking duck, dim sum, and live seafood. In 2022, Asia Grand moved to its current home in the Fairmont Singapore South Tower, taking its loyal fans (and legendary chefs) along.
Today, it’s still known as one of the go-to spots for authentic Cantonese cuisine in Singapore, especially for family gatherings, business lunches, and birthday celebrations.
Why You’ll Love It Here
If you peek at Asia Grand Restaurant reviews, you’ll notice a pattern: people rave about the service. Diners talk about staff who are warm, attentive, and on-the-ball without hovering. One diner said, “Everything worked like clockwork”—from the greeting to the final dessert.
Another big plus? The atmosphere. The dining area feels refined but not pretentious—think chandeliers, warm lighting, and spacious seating. It’s the kind of place where you can bring grandparents and business clients, and everyone feels comfortable.
Patrons also frequently mention that dishes are not overly salty, the duck meat is tender, and the dim sum “never misses”. There’s a real sense that the team cares, which honestly makes the whole dining experience feel extra special.
What’s on the Menu?
If you’re here for dim sum and tea, the spread is huge—handcrafted daily, with classics like shrimp dumplings, siew mai, and flaky pastries. They also serve a mean seafood roll and silky congee.
But the true star?
The Peking Duck
This is one of the most talked-about dishes in the restaurant. People call it crispy Peking duck, but that barely captures it. The skin is glassy and crisp, the meat juicy, and the chefs slice it right at your table. Roll it with the thin flour crepe, leeks, cucumber, and hoisin sauce, and you’ll understand why diners keep returning.
After carving, the kitchen usually whips up a second dish using the leftover duck meat—think fried rice or noodles.
Other favourites include:
-
White pepper crab
-
Claypot tofu or seafood claypot
-
Fresh steamed fish
-
Red bean pancake for dessert
-
Kampong chicken (light and naturally sweet)
And yes, their seafood is legitimately fresh—you can taste the difference.
Our Recommendations
If you want the sure-win route, here’s my “don’t think, just order” list:
✔ The Peking Duck / Crispy Peking Duck
A must-order. Pre-order if you can, especially on busy nights.
✔ Dim Sum (for lunch)
The har gao, siew mai, and fried beancurd skin rolls are standouts, with the right balance of bite and flavour.
✔ White Pepper Crab
A signature dish of the house—aromatic, peppery, and not the throat-burning type.
✔ Seafood fried noodles with duck meat
If you’re already ordering the Peking Duck, add this to avoid food envy later.
✔ Red Bean Pancake
Simple, nostalgic, not too sweet—just the perfect ending to a heavy meal.
Conclusion
Asia Grand is one of the most reliable names in Singapore for elevated but comforting Cantonese dining. Whether you’re meeting friends at City Hall, planning a family gathering, or hosting an event with Fairmont Hotel, this place delivers authentic Cantonese cuisine, warm service, and consistent quality every time.
If you love Peking duck, dim sum, and traditional Cantonese classics, you’ll feel right at home. Just remember—make a reservation. This spot fills up fast, especially during lunch hours.
And if you’re hunting for a restaurant that blends heritage, skill, flavour, and heart, Asia Grand Restaurant is a name worth remembering.
