Mido Cafe was the film sets of many Hong Kong films. I love coming here on the weekends for lunch because I love the atmosphere here - everything remains the same since it was established in 1950. I love the booth seats lining next to the windows on the 2nd floor. With big windows and natural light coming through, it's the perfect place to look at the world goes by while enjoying a cup of hot milk tea.

Mido has attracted a group of interesting crowd. Since it's been recommended by many guide books, 50% of the patrons here are tourists and the other 50% are artsy looking and self-conscious youngsters. The type doesn't make too much noise and 'lol' every other seconds! I suppose it draws to artsy crowd because the indie bookstore Kubrick and the 'cinematheque' plays art films is close by. The 'oldies' however prefer to sit downstairs. Probably it's wiser since steps going up to the 2nd floor are very steep.

Food here is very good too. They are famous for their 'deep-fried wontons' with sweet and sour dip. It is a HK-Cantonese style dish which not many restaurants serve now. My favourite is their fried noodles.
