A landmark on Temple Street, Mido Cafe is a rare find in Hong Kong. It exudes an ambience 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.
Noodles are pan-fried till golden and crunchy, and topped with pork slices – HK$40
Their signature dish, Spare Ribs Baked Rice has a unique texture, and is best eaten hot – HK$48
