A favorite of photographers, directors and nostalgia seekers, Mido Cafe is a charming throwback to the '50s cha chaan tengs of Hong Kong. Heavy on the retro touches like colorful mosaic tiles and the old-fashioned cash register, it's not hard to see why Mido is listed in almost every HK guidebook as an introduction to the unique Chinese diner culture here.For the uninitiated, Mido's specialty is the Baked Pork Chop (or Spare Ribs) Rice.

For the uninitiated, Mido's specialty is the Baked Pork Chop (or Spare Ribs) Rice. Essentially, it's a bottom layer of egg fried rice, topped with the meat of your choice, smothered in a tomato-esque sauce, then baked. We also ordered fried "hor fun" (flat rice noodles) with sliced fish, as well as a claypot mixed vegetable dish with beancurd sheets, leafy greens and beansprouts. The veggies were lovely and light, and the noodles were quite scrummy. However, the baked spare ribs rice was a bit of a let down. It wasn't bad, but I suppose for all the hype, I was hoping for something different that would set it apart from all the other baked rice dishes available elsewhere. Sadly, it was rather average...I found the rice quite bland even with the tomato sauce.
Overall, it's just like any cha chaan teng in Hong Kong, except with better decor and higher prices. I won't be in a hurry to go back.
