The quality of Maxim's varies according to each location. Some of them can be downright poor in my opinion.

Jade Garden is also operated by Maxim's and have several branches in Causeway Bay. The closest one to Park Lane is at Causeway Bay Plaza II at Percival Street and Lockhart Road. Alternatively, try Tao Heung Super 88 (not run by Maxim's) at Windor House (Great George St, just across the street from Park Lane's side entrance) for some budget yet decent dim sum.

Star of Canton at Lee Theatre Plaza near Times Square serves good dim sum but try to go early.

thank you Sammyfloyd, I will try the super88 and Jade garden. they also seem easy to find!

I am happy I read this post. I had already decided that I was not going to do it (hubby is afraid of heights). I remember how all the kid reacted to JUST the ferris wheel at disney land last summer..hahaha! I do not want to go through that again!

Anyways I guess this evens out my pros and cons list. However, I do know that with everything I have planned for our Hong Kong trip in June, I will go home with great memories and will NOT feel like I missed out on the whole Hong Kong experience if I do not ride the NP! Just me two cents.....

OOOOPPPPSSS!!!

I do not know how I ended up posting this here????wrong one, PLEASE ignore!!!

Hi Dan2006 and other Hong Kong experts,

Where is Sai Kung and how do we get there?

Thanks

J

You may go to Google maps of Hong Kong and see that Sai Kung is at the eastern edge of the New Territories. You usually reach it via public transport on a bus or green minibus. Exactly how would depend on where you are coming from. You should post this in the regular forum instead of the dining thread.

I am interested to going to Tiffin's Lounge at the Grand Hyatt Hotel located in Wan Chai. I have heard that it is a really good dessert buffet. I am wondering if anybody knows the price for each person? Thanks!

Tiffin dessert buffet now costs $228 per adult. It is now served daily from 8pm to 11:30pm. Reservation is highly recommended.

I haven't gone in years but when I did, I thought it was quite overrated. Local reviews are very mixed.

definitely over-rated.

It USED to be "special" because no one else was doing it in HK. Just Grand Hyatt. Now, everywhere has DESSERT buffets, and much tastier, and better than GH's. However, they ARE the "pioneers" I guess!

When I went, it wasn't a daily affair yet (they now run it everyday due to its popularity). It was more than 5 years ago. I remember back then, the Japanese style cheesecake was very popular. Because of that, they didn't even have a legitimate NY style cheesecake. I wonder how they can say they have a legitimate dessert buffet without having one?

I guess they still fill their tables all the time due to name recognition, and it does have a very nice environment.
