Who isn’t charmed by the trolley carts when it comes to finding dim sum in a Cantonese restaurant?
Established in 1980, Maxim’s Palace is a cavernous Cantonese restaurant located in Sheung Wan near the city’s heart of Central. The grand yum cha restaurant offers the quintessential Hong Kong dim sum experience. It’s cheerful, it’s noisy and it takes place in a huge dining hall brimming with hundreds of locals, with blindingly bright red decor, grand chandeliers, billowing drapes and gold accents.
Maxim’s Palace is most famous for keeping the old school dim-sum-on-trolly alive. The menu is all about the classics: excellent cha siu, siu mai, cha siu bao, pork spare ribs in black bean sauce, ma lai gou (sponge cake) etc.
Apart from the most common classics known to foreigners, the taro puffs are excellent and worth a try, with a nice gooey filling encased in a deliciously crispy puff. The glutinous rice dumplings are also very good: sticky and generous with its fillings.
Dinner is a quieter experience though where the staff attentively pop by routinely to make sure tea cups are filled and dishes are being cleaned or cleared.
It is not for those on a budget, however, the price is reasonable, considering its location,
There’s breakfast on Sunday from 9am, but people start queuing for a table at 8.30am. Though it is not unusual to wait in line for 30 minutes or longer, as long as you get there before 11am, then you should beat the line.
