Hundred Grains is a Chinese restaurant on the second floor of the PSA Building at 460 Alexandra Road in Queenstown, Singapore, holding a 4.3 rating on Google.
Chinese restaurants live or die on the kitchen's handling of simple things: a fish steamed to the minute, greens tossed with real wok hei, a soup that tastes of the ingredient rather than the stock cube. Menus are usually built for sharing, so it pays to order across the table — one fish, one vegetable, something braised or fried — rather than a dish each. Regulars tend to ask what came in fresh that morning and lean on the daily specials instead of the photographs.
For anyone living or working along the Alexandra corridor, Hundred Grains puts that kind of table within easy reach in Queenstown.
