In 2022, Asia Grand relocated from Odeon Towers to its current location in Fairmont Singapore.The well established restaurant continues to dish up authentic Cantonese cuisine that’s consistently executed. The current menu features an extensive range of traditional Cantonese dishes that reflects their Hong Kong origins. Here are some recommended signature dishes to try, perfect for any convivial festive gatherings with friends and family.
Baked Crab with White Pepper
This exquisite dish features fresh Sri Lankan crab sautéed with fragrant garlic, shallots, and ginger in rich butter. The crab is enhanced with the warmth and aroma of Sarawak white pepper, and gently braised for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld beautifully. The result is juicy meat redolent of spice and sweetness.
Claypot Rice with Preserved Meats
This traditional Hong Kong-style claypot rice brims with a rich variety of preserved meats. Fragrant jasmine rice is slow cooked in a claypot to develop an irresistible, slightly crispy layer at the bottom. The combination of preserved Hong Kong-style sausage, Chinese liver sausage, tender pork belly, and preserved duck thigh infuses the rice with deep, umami flavours. The creation is further enhanced with seasonal vegetables and the chef’s specially prepared sauce. Each bite offers the comforting, authentic taste of classic Hong Kong cuisine.
Double Boiled Whole Winter Melon Soup with Seafood
A nourishing delicacy, Doubled Boiled Whole Winter Melon Soup with Seafood is prepared and served in a halved, hollowed-out winter melon. The melon is filled with a rich, flavourful broth and slow steamed for several hours, allowing the melon’s subtle sweetness to infuse the soup. Just before serving, fresh broth and premium ingredients like dried scallops, straw mushrooms, diced scallops, prawns, and crab meat are added and steamed to perfection. The result is a light, clear soup that’s both cooling and satisfying, with soft, melt-in-the-mouth melon.
Flaming Drunken Prawns
Flaming Drunken Prawns is a creation composed of fresh live prawns infused with fragrant Chinese rose wine, resulting in a subtle floral aroma. When ready, the prawns are assembled in a claypot and flambeed table-side, creating a dramatic presentation as they gently cook in the aromatic warmth of the wine. A specially crafted sauce is then added to enhance the natural sweetness and juiciness of the prawns, creating a perfectly balanced flavour. Each bite reveals a succulent, lightly crisp prawn with a hint of rose wine. This dish is a showcase of classic Chinese culinary finesse.
