With Chinese New Year creepin’ around the corner, it’s time to gather our mandarin oranges, practise our CNY greetings, and prep our bellies for some feastin’.

We’ve gathered all there is to know about Grain’s CNY offerings, from their menu to exclusive promotions. ‘Nuff said, let the pictures do the talking.
What’s CNY if not an excuse to treat yourself to decadent F&B, right? Instead of opting for your typical festive nosh, consider Grain’s CNY menu which puts a fun twist on classic dishes.

Pair your carbs with a sweet and spicy number like the Heng Heng Chilli Crab Mantou – we can’t decide if we adore the mini mantous or the fresh poached crab meat more.
Not forgetting the goji berries that add a hint of sweetness to the dish.
There’s also a non-seafood option if you have guests with shellfish allergies. The Superior Braised Herbal Chicken comes with earthy shiitake mushrooms, dried Chinese herbs, and the star of the show – confit chicken legs.
End your party with dessert like the Osmanthus Konnyaku Koi. This refreshing jelly delight will be a sure hit amongst kids and adults alike.
