One of the reasons we went to Hong Kong again was for food. The previous trip was more on sight seeing. This trip was for food.
Dim sum was among the priorities.
With some research on Google, I found out there are lots of dim sum everywhere around Hong Kong. I found about 5 restaurants which were highly recommended, but there’s only so much that we could eat.
So we chose Maxim’s Palace (22.2806N, 114.1586E) at the City Hall Building in Central, Hong Kong island. It’s about 10 minutes walk from the Central MTR station.
The interior of the restaurant is like a ball room after it’s recent renovation. I think it could easily fill up to 80 tables at any one time. And still, there were people queuing for up to 45 minutes outside to wait for their tables.
Did we have to queue up too?
No. We were lucky to be there at 11am. By 1130am, there were already people waiting outside, and by the time we left at noon, I think there were easily about 30 people outside, eagerly waiting to have their dim sum.
Aren’t there other places to eat? Is it that good?
It really makes me wonder why people are queuing up for so long just to have dim sum.
It’s one of the few dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong that still serves dim sum on a cart, like what we have here in Malaysia.

What about the damage the dim sum did? HKD 314.6 which was about RM140! And that’s like RM70 per person for a dim sum.
