Mido Cafe - 美都餐室

A landmark on Temple Street, Mido Cafe is a rare find in Hong Kong. It exudes an ambiance reminiscent of cafes in the last century. Stepping inside is akin to entering a time tunnel.

Their pineapple buns are fluffy and exquisite, perfect with a cup of yun yong milk tea. The Spare Ribs Baked Rice is an oven-baked dish of sweet and sour spare ribs with fried rice and eggs, topped with a homemade sauce make with fresh milk. Eat it while it's piping hot to fully appreciate the cruspy crust of the spare ribs contrasting wtih the creamy (but not overly oily) sauce.

One fo the highlights on the menu is the Fried Noodels with Sliced Pork. Thin noodles are fried till golden brown. Pork slices are pounded slighly before stir-frying quickly in a broth. Kai lan is added and the savoury mix is then pourde over the crispy noodles.
