River Palace Kuching: A Dim Sum Lunch Inside Riverside Majestic

[kuchinghub]

Dim sum can be a good answer when a group wants a proper lunch but nobody wants one giant plate. River Palace Cantonese Restaurant at Riverside Majestic Hotel Puteri Wing has been pushing that idea with a daily dim sum lunch built around more than 30 handcrafted Cantonese choices.

The dining room has a more polished hotel feel, while the bamboo baskets keep the meal recognisably dim sum. I would come with two or three people so the table can try different bites: steamed pieces, savoury fillings and crisp items work better as a shared spread than as a solo order. The photos also make the food look substantial enough for a full lunch, not just a light tea break.

The kitchen is led by Master Dim Sum Chef Billy Leong, whose experience stretches across four decades. That background shows in the way the offering is framed: traditional Cantonese technique, daily preparation and enough variety for diners who want to stay with familiar favourites or try something less routine. The restaurant is halal-certified, which makes the setting easier to share across a mixed group.

The reported introductory price was RM10.90 per serving from July 22 until August 31, 2026, with lunch served daily from 10am to 2pm. Since the promotion reaches its stated end date today, check the current price before making a special trip.

My take: River Palace fits a slower, shared lunch when you want dim sum variety in an air-conditioned hotel setting. It is a useful option for family meals, business catch-ups or anyone who prefers choosing several small plates instead of one main dish.
