Hong Kong day 2 was well spent of course in the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! The experience of this awesome theme park will be on a separate post (coming up!). Let me start with the food adventure we had. Aside from enjoying the wonderful world of Disneyland, we made sure that lunch will be delightful. Indeed it was one of the most memorable lunch I had! Hong Kong Disneyland has a lot of food kiosks in almost every corner but my dad made the perfect choice. We went for the classic Chinese cuisine at Plaza Inn which is operated by Maxim’s Group, one of Hong Kong’s most largest food and beverage corporation and restaurant chain.

Located at the Main Street, USA is this Mulan movie inspired restaurant that serves delectable dishes. The outside resembles a 20th century American building but the inside has a distinct Chinese feel. We were entertained at the reception area where you can sit comfortably while waiting. The noise of the people eating and the smell of the restaurant is very feel good food.

Great ambiance and splendid decorations!

These glowing paper lanterns are so beautiful. They are located at the center and tables are around them. Also, the lights change colors from time to time which enhanced the effect of entering the main dining area.

Large round tables and chairs – very distinct Chinese feel

Stained glass dividers

The ceiling – very nice panels, shapes all over, and the soft lights

State-of-the-art utensils

The architectural design of the restaurant is very sophisticated. The interior is kinda “East meets West” that blends American, European, and Ching Dynasty influences. Over all, the place is serene and exquisite.

For the food, too bad I wasn’t able to take note all that my dad ordered. I’m more tied up with hunger. Well knowing myself, whatever it is, I will eat it. I’m not really picky with food. I’m adventurous when it comes too eating. I like trying out something new – the never been tasted or the never been heard.

But for Chinese food, I have tried a lot already! Mainly because Chinese restos are all over the Philippines and had dominated the flavor of the Asian people. But if you wanna eat authentic Chinese food, Maxim’s is worth it.

Le corn soup – so thick and yummy

The chicken bean curd rolls are so saucy!

This, I don’t know. lol.

I’m not familiar with this also but this one’s good! Ohhh I remember, squiiidddd!

The dim sums are presented very old school. They are pushed around in heated and clear glass carts. Each has the dish names in English and Chinese. Although there are English names, I’m still not familiar. Each order are placed on bamboo basket covers. Very Chinese!

And my all time favorite, Peking duck

Veggies with beef and cashew nuts

These are prawn balls covered with nuts. They are delicious but I’m allergic to nuts so I  had to ‘em off.

They are also prawns but like chicken pops. lol.

Very large fried wantons

My family’s favorite, the spring rolls!

I ordered a very refreshing lime shake. This one’s very strong. It’s too lime-y.

Maxim’s may not be cheap but the dishes are incredibly tasty, so why not? They also have a huge variety of lovely food. Each are fresh, tasty, and individually flavored. And if given the chance to be back in HK, I will definitely go for Maxim’s again. Good job, I left the resto full and very much satisfied.

We were really impressed with the food and the great experience we had. One of the best best Chinese restaurants I’ve been.
