You can’t visit Hong Kong without going for “yum cha,” or a morning or afternoon meal of dim sum in a classic Hong Kong restaurant.
Growing up with Hong Kong movies, it felt almost nostalgic when I stepped into this lively massive banquet room with chandeliers and white tablecloths, where locals were reading newspapers while sipping on tea and eating dim sum.
Maxim’s Palace has a couple of outlets in Hong Kong, and the branch at City Hall is one of the last restaurants in the city that still serves dim sum on carts. This popular spot for both locals and tourists is known for its atmosphere and quality of food.
In addition to the usual dim sum dishes such as siew mai, har gao, and char siew pao, they also offer an extensive menu of Cantonese dishes such as barbecued suckling pig, roasted goose, sweet and sour pork ribs, and more.
Hong Kong City Hall, 2/F Low Block, Central; and 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Shun Tak Centre, B13-B18, B/F, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. Details here.
