I come here at least once a week for lunch. I love that they still keep the HK traditional style of food trolleys as this is becoming extinct in HK. Since you wont need to order from a Chinese menu, this place is perfect for tourists , to just point at foods in the trolley. No chinese needed and no communication barrier! The food here is always of very good quality and very freshly made. We usually have to wait for the food to be made and once the aunties come out with the new steaming hot dimsu
The food here is always of very good quality and very freshly made. We usually have to wait for the food to be made and once the aunties come out with the new steaming hot dimsums, everyone just rushes there to see whats new whats fresh. Truly an amazing experience that is unique to Maxim palace! Other places nowadays only have the standard menu or dimsum paper for ticking and this traditional trolley way of ordering is kept in Maxim palace up till now. Must try items here include siumai, shrimp har gow, phoenixs claws, cheung fun rice rolls, mango sago, sago egg pudding, cha siu pastry, egg tarts and their scallop egg white fried rice is really amazing. Every item is freshly steamed and piping hot while served.
My favourite thing to order is the siumai - its perfeclty made here, with huge chunks of pork marinated to perfection and fresh prawns wrapped into a thin dough wrapper. Its a piece of comfort food with the right amount of chewiness and freshness in one huge bite.
The deep fried dough balls - (沙翁）are also a must try - this is a sweet dimsum that isnt found easily in hk. The eggy dough balls are fried and become a puffy huge balloon kind of donut pastry which is rolled in sugar, and this dessert is so light it wont fill your stomach! The crispy outer layer is wrapped in sugar and once you bite into it, the inside is a fluffy egg dough which tastes really good and fresh. The grains of sugar on the outer coat adds crunch and texture to the whole dessert!
