Once Chinese pastries were imported from far away San
Francisco to celebrate Chinese New Year. Now they
can be acquired locally baked...consumed instantly
and deliciously fresh. Houston's first Chinese bakery
& Coffee Shop is Maxim's, located at 5882 San Felipe.
Chinese New year, weddings, holidays, assume a more
festive air when moon cakes, egg custards, almond
cookies, and such delicacies are served.
Lydia Lo, (associated with Centrury 21) a 1966
graduate of Texas Christian and a Business Major,
is responsible. Together with her mother, Mrs.
