I admit, I was skeptical towards halal dim sum, why would anyone want to pay so much for halal dim sum when the real thing is easily available? However, everyone, including our Muslim acquaintances deserves a fair opportunity to enjoy these tantalizing and dainty little goods that โtouch your heartโ, literally.
I was so glad that I tagged along for lunch at Restaurant MinMax, a halal Chinese place that comes highly recommended by my boss. A glance through its extensive menu offering various Chinese dishes and dim sums was enough to my salivary glands into overdrive.

i hate the photos you took, they make me feel so hungry!!
I’m sure they are more common and edible these days. The last time .. i went for any chinese food.. that was halal.. i kinda hated it. But that was more than 10 yrs ago.
now I need to go find this place and satisfy my hunger . . . .
love the collage….love the food…no babi but still ok lar cos dim sum is always about msg right, hehehe…RM17 for a nice setting is ok la.
I guess Dim Sum these days are very very expensive to indulge with! lol! I guess must find those good buffet Dim Sum!
OMG!!!!
what a great meal u had! u like those photo, very clear n nice!
Dunno about the non-pork versions, but generally, I stick with good ol’ traditional dim sum, babi and everything… ๐
Lovely collage by the way!
I think halah dim sum can be just as good. Maybe even hard to tell the difference in not mentioned beforehand, especially those dishes mainly based on fish or prawns.
well..you can always stick with seafood based dim sum only..like har kau!

Halal Dimsum? Great idea. even better when it tastes good.

Went for halal buffet dim sum last month at Oriental Spoon… another option for muslim…
are you very sure that its halal, i went there last month, and found out that the waitress didnt even know whether its a halal restaurant or not…
hi dear yes it is halal ๐
i went there in July 2008.The food was horrible! Not going there anymore!
was wondering if they serve ala-carte or buffet and how much is the price?
went there, the chi cheong fun was heaven!

dim sums.There’s 3 pcs to a set.I will be coming back there,just for their prawn dim sum.
Check it out ๐
hi! i’ve been craving for dimsum for few days but u knwlaa…u hv to pay a bit more to get a good ones. Right after i read your review yesterday, I made my way to MinMax all d way frm Kelana Jaya w my sis.
You were right! It tastes so heavenly good and surprisingly cheap. We enjoyed it very much! The dimsum comes in big size, so so yummy & the food made us happy (flavanoid in dim sum!! Naaah…) Not a single word can describe how good the dim sum was. Anyway we were there quite late, the waiter turned down our request for second order. :-(.
I’ve tried meisan sczechuan @ quality htl, shang, sheraton, westin, eden, concorde sh alm & few others, sorry to say this, but to me, min max is d best!
Planning to go again in near time w my whole family. ๐
dim sum halal at islamic canteen inside masjid osman ramju in HK is da best.
duck rice near the masjid area also very2 gooooddd. not like halal malaysia
duck rice.
Agree with u..I have been training in Islamic Union of Hong Kong for two months..WONDERFUL!
i am so going tomorrow!!!!!
thanx frens!
This is the worst dim sum i had in KL, the service was suck!
I brought my HK frens there, the waitress/captains’s service suck! When we cal them for drink, they all pretend deaf or blind…no next time…no wonder offer RM2.90 but nobody eating there except those group of tourists from China or Indonesia who cheated by tourguide to eating there…
Min Max Retaurant worst in KL town..
Very very bad service here…..
But very very bad service here…..
Thank you thank you… Been looking for a halal dim sum (non-hotel) for awhile. Yes, I’ll check out this place real soon ๐ thanks again ๐
