I hadn't come for a long long time because it had been so hard to make a reservation for lunch hours on weekdays. I made a call about 2 weeks ago and surprisingly I managed to secure a table for 5. I was brought to the far end of the long corridor to occupy the seemingly best round table at the corner.

I was brought to the far end of the long corridor to occupy the seemingly best round table at the corner. With the pretty antique fans rotating on the high ceilings overlooking the little garden of the cityhall, it was quite a cozy environment for lunch indeed.
The menu had changed and it seemed that prices had generally inflated a little bit. Luckily the famous good old items were still there. I ordered my all-time favourite Linguine with Prawn in Tomato Sauce.

Bread was served very soon, with 1 pack of butter for each of us. The bread was just slightly warm. It was the good old buttery flavour in a pretty soft texture. The butter was melting but it was ok to eat with the bread.

A lunch set included an appetiser of Russian Borscht or Cream of Mushroom Soup or Garden Salad with French Dressing. I picked the salad, which was quite a big bowl when served with appropriate amount of dressing. The veggies seemed to be quite fresh.

Linguine with Prawn in Tomato Sauce used to be my all-time favourite, which I ordered almost every time during my visit. However, it had really disappointed me. The portion was HUGE as you can tell from the photo. There was plenty of sauce to finish off everything from the plate. However, the linguine itself was quite a ruin as it was too soft, not al dente at all. There were 5 big prawns which were meaty and fresh although they could have been better. The tomato sauce was ok but not as good as those before which was slightly orange in colour and tasted a little bit sour to make the whole thing so appetising.
A drink was included in the set. I ordered hot lemon water with 3 thick slices of lemon. There was nothing special. I wish I could have chosen milk tea but I gave it up given my poor sleep quality recently.
All the dishes my friends ordered seemed to be so huge in terms of portion and all of them almost finished everything so I could tell the quality of the food was not bad. Service was a bit slow, maybe because of our location. Overall price was still acceptable for lunch in Central.
Although slightly disappointing, Maxim's Cafe would still remain one of my to-go restaurant for lunch. Next time I would try something else.
