Asia Grand

10:31:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments


To start of, I'm not a great fan of Chinese food. I thought they taste almost the same everywhere,with not much novelty. My mum can cook as well leh! But Asia Grand is one of the few that I think scores well in service, food and presentation.


This is their 开胃菜 ( $3 per plate) , made up of fish cake, cucumber, capsicum etc in cube size. It was lightly marinated, a tad sweet & sour, really appetizing! I really like this as compared to those peanuts served in most Chinese restaurants.


Peking Duck


The staff would push a trolley with the roasted duck to your table. You could enjoy the visual effect of how skillful they were at slicing thin layers of the duck skin and then wrapped them in the crepe skins. Great for me, coz I dun like to dirty my own hands =p


Double Boiled Whole Winter Melon Soup


Die die must drink this!! It tasted heavenly, with ingredients like winter melon ( obviously), prawn, scallops, vege etc. The soup was superb sweet lor and the melon would just melted in your mouth! The melon was so big that we could each have 3-4 bowls. Yum Yum!! One thing to complement was their service => Thumbs up!! The staff would refill the soup for us almost immediately, and also helped us to scrap the melon. One of them was humorous too. He actually told us dun waste food, kept asking us to refill which was unlike other places, who tried to clear your plates even before you finished your food.

Stewed Tian-Jing Cabbage with Mushroom

Guess what? The Chinese name of this vege is called 娃娃菜 ( Doll Doll Vegetable), cute rite? Tasted like white cabbage with golden mushroom and black mushroom. Kinda like 家常便饭, very home-cooked style.


Prawn Coated with Salted Egg


Well, never eat anything like this before. Cant really say I love it or hate it. Rather it was a confused feeling, "excited" over the exotic way of cooking prawn yet I wanna rekindle the familiar taste of prawn. Keke... dun hit the wall lah.. I'm trying to describe, maybe slightly exaggerating only mah... =p




This was normal fish cooked in HK style. Nothing much to flaunt here.So let's move on..


Sheng Noodles with Shredded Duck

This must be the "leftover" of our Peking Duck. I was still wondering whether they were trying to cheat us by giving us only the skin!! Hahaha. But I would prefer ee mian rather than the sheng noodles though. Still, they did a good job and we finished the noodles even though we were already 101% full..


Almond Paste

This was smoOoOOth... For those who dislike almond paste, I thought this was kinda balanced. It was light without being too overwhelming with the "dead cockroach" smell. Well, this was how ppl who hate almond describe the taste even though I wonder how do they know, they eat dead cockroach before meh?? * Thinking hard*



<----- BLANK------>



PHEW!!!! YUCKS TO THE MAX!!

Anyway, the above was actually a set menu for 6 pax, cost $198. Together with the taxes and miscellaneous items, the total bill came up to be $252, which equal to $42 per pax. I thought it was kinda worth it for a semi-posh Chinese restaurant located in city area, with warm service and good food. 值得!!!

P.S Photo were taken with my old Canon camera. We shall be able to compare the difference between Canon & Sony camera soon!!

Btw, I bought a new camera => Sony DSC-T70 in light pink! Gorgeous isnt it?



It's a touch screen camera, with lotza functions including writing and decorating on the still images. Still playing and testing the camera, loving it for every minute!! Keke ^_^

Cost $499, which includes a sony case, 4gb memory stick, 1 extra battery. And I just casually asked the Harvey Norman uncle whether can give me the protective screen too. He agreed and helped me to paste it! Cool rite?!?
