Mido Cafe (Temple Street)

Mido Cafe, a 1950 cha chaan teng at Temple Street, boasts original mosaic floors and wooden booths that transport diners back in time. The condensed milk toast uses butter 20% thicker than the average cha chaan teng, while the cold lemon tea is a refreshing staple. Less famous than #2 Australia Dairy Company, it is arguably more atmospheric, with an upstairs dining room overlooking Tin Hau Temple. Over 70 years of unchanged recipes draw locals daily, with HKD 28 for the signature toast. Its portion size is 10% larger than #1 Lan Fong Yuen's toast. Price: HKD 25-60.
