My friend wanted to experience a true "Cha Chaan Teng" (Tea House) in Hong Kong.
So Mido Cafe was were we ended up at for a bit of Hong Kong Nostalgia. Mido cafe is one of the very last remaining HK Tea Houses left in it's original state and has served as set to many HK movies.
Getting there however took a bit of backtracking. On the google map, it looked easy to get to. Once out of the subway station, I guess it was much closer than we thought.
Thanks to online reviews, my expectations were kind of low since many reviews echo that service wasn't all that stellar and was overpriced, but we were going for the experience anyways so it didn't matter too much.
As we visited right after opening, there was only seating available on the upper level.
Overall, the food was pretty good and it was a neat experience to envision what it was like to have lived in HK in the early 50s. We chose the 3 most recommended dishes that kept popping up on tripadvisor and other searches online and it was a filling way to start the day.
