Maxim Dim Sum Restaurant (Closed)

位于Bangunan Lip Sin的美食之家茶餐楼(Maxim Dim Sum Restaurant)，也分佈在槟城其它地区如Kuta Bali、Gunery Plaza七楼戏院和Komtar Walk。据悉美食之家茶餐楼隶属槟记企业公司，这家公司从事和食物相关的领域，本身有自家生产点心的工厂，也有批发海产和卖食物容器。有说菜头粿也叫萝卜糕，是把炒好的白萝卜丝、虾米和其它配料等加进米浆/粉浆内融合并蒸熟。而炸萝卜糕则是把蒸好的萝卜糕再油炸过。Bangunan Lip Sin美食之家茶餐楼的点心选择很多，从传统点心至创新的特色点心都有。管理系统方面看起来比较有效率。首先有告示牌一个步骤一个步骤指导你如何从一开始点餐至结账，再来就是员工都穿上统一的制服以方便客人辨认。另外从蒸笼点心处、煎炸点心处、港式猪肠粉和鱼翅处、茶水还有结账柜台等都分得很开很清晰，不会让我觉得紊乱。我们一行四人吃的点心，每盘价钱介于RM3-5之间，再配上一壶菊花热茶共RM51左右。平均一人约RM12，价钱算是公道合宜，整体味道吃起来也不错。 continue reading

Having woken up early today, we decided to reward ourselves by visiting a nearby dim sum restaurant: Maxim Dim Sum (美食之家). It is located in Taman Pekaka, and consists of 2 units of non-air conditioned shop lots. Unlike the cart system, customers have the privilege of exercising their body muscles by placing orders and collecting dim sum dishes at the centralized table.Of course, there are the old-school standard issues that needs to be included in every dim sum visit: Shrimp Dumpling (虾饺) and Pork Dumpling (猪肉烧卖). Maxim Dim Sum is well-known in Penang for its dim sum taste, so it was not surprising that we enjoyed these dishes.We also tried the Mushroom Dumping (蘑菇烧卖). It was not as tasty as the pork counterpart, but nevertheless still worth a bite.Out of curiosity, we also asked for a plate of Cheese Roll (奶酪卷), which came in 3 pieces. It is essentially deep-fried pastry that has been hollowed out for the cheese paste. It's something new, but not something that I will order again.Last but not least, we had a plate of Fried Radish Cake (萝卜糕) to fill up the remaining space in our stomach.The breakfast was good and quite affordable. The only concern is the large crowd during the later part of the morning. continue reading

Golden WrapThis is the latest addition to the dim sum spread at Maxim, according to the staff there. As its name depicts, the snack is artistically wrapped up and deep fried till golden brown. I suppose the crispy protruding sticks belongs to vermicelli and taste good when dip with mayonnaise. Hidden inside was chunky whole prawn which adds some sweetness to this fried ball. Quite an addictive morsels but could be quite messy with the brittle ‘torns’ on the outside continue reading
