Asia Grand’s commitment to authenticity and quality makes it one of Singapore’s top spots for unparalleled Cantonese food.

Asia Grand began its culinary journey at the then Asia Hotel (now Hamilton Scotts) along Scotts Road in 2004. With its roots firmly embedded in Hong Kong's Cantonese culinary tradition, the restaurant aimed to offer an authentic dining experience. The founding team, originally from Hong Kong, established rigorous standards for food quality and service, a commitment that continues today.

In 2008, Asia Grand relocated to Odeon Towers, and in 2022, it moved to its current location in Fairmont Singapore. While each relocation marked a new chapter, the restaurant's dedication to authentic Cantonese cuisine remained constant. The kitchen is staffed by a team of over 30 chefs and culinary staff, ensuring each dish is prepared to perfection – from sauces to main courses. This attention to detail has cemented Asia Grand's reputation for delivering classic Cantonese flavors with a modern twist.

Asia Grand has earned a devoted following, many of whom have been patrons since its early days. It is a popular venue for Chinese New Year dinners and special celebrations, drawing diners who appreciate the consistency and quality of its offerings.

The restaurant’s signature dishes highlight the meticulous preparation techniques that are a hallmark of Cantonese cuisine. The Peking duck and suckling pig are expertly roasted to achieve a perfect balance of crispy skin and tender meat, while the seafood dishes showcase the vibrant flavors of fresh ingredients.

Meanwhile, the dim sum, made fresh daily, ranges from classic favorites to innovative bites, each reflecting the skill and creativity of the culinary team.

At the helm is Asia Grand’s head chef who hails from Hong Kong, bringing with him a deep understanding of traditional Cantonese cooking. Under his leadership, the restaurant maintains its philosophy of in-house preparation, ensuring every meal is an authentic representation of Cantonese cuisine. By avoiding shortcuts and outsourcing, Asia Grand offers an experience where diners can enjoy the true essence of each dish.

The dedication to authenticity extends beyond the kitchen, as the restaurant strives to make each dining experience memorable. This unwavering focus on quality and service has allowed Asia Grand to thrive, even in the face of rising costs and changing dining trends. The loyal clientele and food consistency are a testament to the restaurant's ability to deliver on its promise of a fine Cantonese dining experience.
