Maxim's Palace Restaurant Review:


Maxim's Palace, located on the second floor of City Hall overlooking Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour, is a popular spot for dim sum. No reservations are accepted, as is common among dim sum restaurants, so the daily hoards of eager diners take numbered tickets from a harried but unflappable hostess then wait, and wait, outside until a table opens. Lines are especially long for lunch on weekends. Dim sum dishes on trolleys are wheeled around the cavernous dining room. Traditional options include har gau (steamed shrimp dumplings), siu mai (steamed pork dumplings), char siu bau (pork buns) and cheung fan (rice noodle rolls). Unexpectedly delightful bites include the octopus legs, sharks fin shu mai, radish cake and, for dessert, try the coffee jelly and coconut flan.
