Maxim Dim Sum @ Sungai Dua 8.9.2012

Breakfast at Tiffany's is not the same as having breakfast in Penang... it's better!! haha

Penang is noted for it's super super delicious delicacies and fascinating culinary variety.
And breakfast, being the most important meal of the day, has itself an aray of choices to choose from here in Penang.

This morning we decided to have Dim Sum.. yes, although dim sum can be found almost all corners of the world, this chinese cuisine is very much an everyday affair for some Penangites :)

So here's one of the many chinese restaurants offering dim sum for breakfast seekers...

Maxim is located in sungai dua area, next to Taman Pekaka. It's close by Tesco Extra, Sungai Dua.

Í come here often because of the yummy dim sum and as you will quickly realise, during the weekends, the place is packed!!! And tables as well as parking space becomes a challenge to find empty. I usually tah-pau home.

Here's what Maxim offers:

 

Agood sellection of steamed dim sum,

 

As well as fried ones... I usually go for the fried...

 They even put up a sign board on "How to order" !! Cool!!!

 My usual order of the day... something sweet, something salty, and something hot... something steamed, something fried... ahh.... DIM SUM Goodness!!!

 

Yi café @ 1st Avenue

I was at 1st Avenue today.. partly because I haven't been there in a long while... and partly because i wanted to take photoes/ see the Lego displays held there.

Also, One Academy was having their sort-of exhibition with a display of art-work by their students at 1st Avenue. Wanted to get my caricreture done.. but chickened out at the last minute.

So, here's what we had for lunch. It was as Yi Cafe. A restaurant offering chinese food, dim sum, and also japanese cuisine... quite a variety... the price.. also ahem...
 

da Menu

 I ordered the HongKong style fried rice. It was good! Liked the fact that they served it with chicken floss and cashuenuts...(delightful*). Really worth the money...

Fried rice ... HongKong style RM err.. cant quite remember.. RM7 maybe

 We also ordered crisy noodles... it was seafood... came with yummy mushrooms...not bad this one.

Noodles...RM 9

 I;d wanted to try-out their dim sum variety.. so this is what I ordered. Ha Kao... or prawn dumpling... Quite disappointing. You could say I've had better... The skin was too thick and gooey...

Prawn dumplings RM4.50 per plate of 3

 Lastly, a pot of tea to go with any chinese dish... they also offer individual cups of tea... but the pot is more worth it :)

The whole pot costs RM5
