Max Cafe 美食冰室 by Maxim Dim Sum — Restaurant in George Town

This is non-halal eatery. Actual rating is 2.5 stars. Exterior was decorated for coming Halloween. This is supposedly a Hong-Kong char chan teng with posters of old/past Hong-Kong movies and playing Canto songs from 80's and 90's.

Food and drinks ordering via QR code scan. Cheese bake rice/spaghetti, pork based rice, ramyun noodles, finger food snacks, polo bun variety are some of the offerings. Butter coffee comes in a small kettle that is poured over a slab of butter. No sugar but bit too oily. Cheese sauce chicken polo bun uses polo bun as bun for chicken chop burger with ample cheese sauce and cheese slice. Quite good except chicken should be cooked longer. Orders were served fast.

They charge 10% for service and 6% SST. Prices are on the high side. Since patrons order self service, why the 10% service charge.

This eatery is housed in Bangunan Lip Sin next to Maxim dim sum and ample eateries/shops nearby. Parking along roadside may be difficult during peak hours but there is...

It’s situated beside Maxim Dim Sum. Air conditioned place. Cooling to enjoy your lunch here.

We tried the set lunch of Rm39.90 where we can choose 1 dish from 3 categories and they come with 2 white rice. We choosed the spicy black soya sauce fish fillet, stir fried brocolli with shrimp and mushroom and special 3 combination eggs with prawn & crab meat.

The fish is good. Spiciness just nice. Not salty. Good combination.

The stir fried brocolli is cook with ginger slice. Taste is light. If added a little more salt or pepper might be better.

The 3 special combination eggs is good. Then shrimp are fresh. Quite ‘bouncy’ texture. Good bite feeling. The eggs in the middle is good. Together with the ebikko and some crab meat, it enhanced the dish better.

Ying yang is ok. Slightly on the sweet side while the siu mai, I think eating it in the morning at Maxim Dim Sum next door will be better. Will come back to...

1st impression when I looked at the menu was "Man, it's pricy!" Well after tasting it, man!! It's tasty... They aren't stingy with their ingredient. Instead feeling expensive, I find it to be quite worth the price I paid for.

I ate the BBQ Pork Wan Tan Mee. The smell of the pork lard, the taste of the sauce & the juiciness of the BBQ Pork plus the springy noodle, really made me enjoy it very much. However, I consider the fried wan tan to be so so only.

My daughter ate the Paste Carbonara, I didn't taste it but it did smell nice . My wife ate the Polo Bun, I have a bite. It taste good. My son had the Pork Lard rice, I don't have chance too taste it. He whacked the whole thing.

They are having a promotion 3 dishes + 2 bowls of rice for RM 39.90. I will give a try.

BTW, I spent over RM 159.40. I got 3 lucky draws. I can use their vouchers to directly claim for free food without spending.
