Max Gourmet (美食之家) is a sister chain restaurant in Penang. This outlet is located on a row of shops opposite Queensbay Mall. The restaurant is usually very crowded as both parking and dining tables are limited. It is among the better dim sum places around Penang.The trio of us had our dinner here. It was over 8:00pm but business was still non-stop. It took us a while to get a dining table and place our orders.Right off the bat, we ordered 2 rice dishes to quickly extinguish our stomach acid: Oriental Fried Rice (杨州炒饭, RM5.90) and Italy Style Fried Rice (意大利式风味炒饭, RM10.90). Although the rice is nice and warm from the wok, I feel that both are almost identical except that the latter has lots of anchovies.We also included some mainstream dim sum dishes, such as Crispy Egg Tart (贵妃酥皮蛋达, RM1.50), Steamed BBQ Pork Bun (叉烧包, RM1.40), Steamed Glutinous Rice With Chicken (糯米鸡, RM3.00) and Deep Fried Radish Cake (萝卜糕, RM3.00). In general, Max Gourmet's reputation in dim sum is justified.For drinks, we had a glass of iced Ying Yong (鸳鸯, RM3.00), Ginseng And Water Chestnut (沙参玉竹马蹄水, RM3.00) and Winter Melon With Sea Coconut (冬瓜元肉海底椰, RM3.00). In particular, the herbal drinks were refreshing!The meal was not terribly expensive, considering the quality and its location beside a large shopping mall. It was definitely worth a visit! continue reading

Max Gourmet 美食之家 is a dim sum restaurant where you can enjoy great yumcha in Penang. It is located in Gurney Plaza, Georgetown.Steamed egg yolk custard bunThis dim sum restaurant offers a variety of Hong Kong style dim sum. This steamed egg yolk custard bun is one of my favourite. The bun is soft and filled with runny rich egg yolk custard. The custard is not too sweet. It is best eaten while hot so that the custard is still runny. continue reading

Alrighty! I heard Max's foods consists of MSGs but couldnt care more since we were so hungry. We ordered main dishes like Oriental style fried rice and Stir fried pork chop with chinese style BBQ sauce..you will never go wrong with the pork chop with bbq sauce when you have a 3year old with you around.The fried rice is one of our favorite amongst the variety of fried rice offered. Hubby requested additional rice for his fried rice and without pork, therefore, the plate come at RM10.40. According to him, the usual portion is not enough for him comparing with the same fried rice we had years ago, when Max's had its branch at Sg Nibong/bayan bay (opp QB Mall). The portion served there was quite huge for a normal size plate but those were the times. Fuel prices increased and everything increased, remember?I had my usual share of the pork chop rice (RM12.90) with my daughter and hence the portion is not enough for me and therefore i tried their Thai Style Salad with Slice Duck Meat (RM6.90) for the first time. At first, i thought, the serving is huge but only to find out that beneath the salads and duck meats, they added fried noodles inside (like the one you find in Yee Sang) which i don't like. The sauce is ok, spicy and i think the spicy sauce is from the Thai Chilli sauce that you find in the market.Deep fried prawn rolls (RM5.90/3rolls) & Prawn & Parsley dumpling (RM5.9/3pcs) are a must to order (for hubby). These 2 are recommend if you are not feeling so hungry but is looking for something to bite.As for drinks (not in the picture), i ordered Ying Yang (Coffee & Tea) Mix RM6.90 and hubby ordered Sugar Cane RM3.90. In total, we paid RM57 (Including 10% service charge and 6% government Tax) Although it mentioned that wifi is available but i failed to log in that day only to find out that "no more wifi available" from one of its staffs continue reading

美食之家，有很多选择，有点心，也有主餐。因为它位于GSC戏院隔壁，所以人潮还蛮多的。我们也是在看戏之前来到这里解决我们的午餐。点了一个豆腐饭，还有附送一碗汤。当然，我们也点了小笼包。主餐食不错，但是小笼包就有点失水准。笼包的皮太后了一点，所以有点干。 continue reading
