My mom wanted the bring baby Jacob out for lunch since they have not left home for the past three days. Carrying an infant baby to lunch did not give us too much option on a rainy day, so we opted for Pak Lok Chiu Chow at Times Square. Parking is available at Times Square so we don't need to worry about the baby getting wet.
The neo-classical interior of Pak Lok Chiu Chow features retro patterned wallpaper with wood plates running up to the ceiling, which leaves a metallic impression as if they were coated with gold. Looking grand but somehow discomforting. The dining hall is huge but not enough space between tables.
Strong bodied teas were served according to the number of person dining in.
The pickles were not complimentary but were a nice snack to start the meal. The pickle on the left was sour and crisp, the pickled string bean on the right was utterly crisp with a spicy finish.
Dim sum menu has a beautiful lay out and easy to read with pictures alongside some of the popular dishes at Pak Lok Chiu Chow Restaurant.
My impression on Pak Lok Chiu Chow is good. The noise level is not too bad. Overall I reckon it is a good place for dim sum.

Baked Pineapple & Barbecue Pork Bun - HKD38
Sweet flakey bun with a steamingly hot barbecue pork fillings where the sweetness and savoury flavour intertwined. Simply divine.
Streamed Glutinous Rice Roll - HKD28
A Chiu Chow specialty dim sum where the savoury glutinous rice was wrapped with a sweet bun. I didn't like this version at Pak Lok too much since it was one dimensionally chewy and had no peanuts in it.
Streamed Fresh Prawn Dumplings
Good dumpling with fatty prawn and thin pastry. You can clearly taste the freshness of the prawn.
Stir-fried Beef Noodles with Satay Sauce
A popular noodles dish at Pak Lok Chiu Chow Restaurant. It was a bold flavoured dish, savoury but a bit on the sweet side. The flat noodles were fully coated with the savoury sauce. Beef was tender and flavourful. A pretty solid dish.My impression on Pak Lok Chiu Chow is good. The noise level is not too bad. Overall I reckon it is a good place for dim sum.
