Re: The Laurate - for Chef in HK.

Hi DC,

is this a new restaurant?  I know Sunday lunch service is very busy
throughout Chinatown as it's 'family gathering' time for the catering
community.  Timing is crucial for dim sum as it's the type of dish that
doesn't like to stand around -that's why I avoid the trolley places,
unless if they have a quick turnover. Last weekend, I had my Niece over
from Singa****e, and we  went to Maxim's Palace in Shatin, the queues
would make you wanna cry, had to wait over 90 minutes for a table of
10, but it's like that everywhere on Sundays - even weekdays.  Another
place I use to frequent in C\town where the dim sum was very good was
the 'Chinatown' in Lisle St., but haven't been for a number of years
since I started going to the Peninsula.  Their steamed stuffed fish
belly is quite the biz, even better than Maxim's.

Happy eating,

Chef!
