Vasco encountered a concept...

Vasco went to an old cha chaan teng, Mido, today. This is a nice place to visit. The building is old and located next to a temple. The upstair part is really airy with big window. With a curvy corner of the building, one table is really funny and got curvy seats as well. The decor stays in its 50s and 60s style. It is fun to visit. As long as you are not really going for the food.

After tasting the pork chop rice, deep fried wantons in sweet and sour sauce and curry squid rice, Vasco categorized this place as a concept. It is fun to see so many people came to the restaurant for a photo shooting opportunity! Some were armed with professional lens!

Choices at cha chaan teng

Vasco loves Hong Kong style small diners, cha chaan teng, because he can choose from an unbelievably comprehensive menu. It is possible to have your steak and also a congee, at the same time! of course, one has to get used to the local Hong Kong flavors. Vasco loves this particular one, Extremely Good Cart Noodle, as Vasco is always dazzled by the choices right at the entrance! These are all the dishes you can choose from and put into your noodle! The vendors used to sell these dishes in a small cart, and people just ate standing on the street! That was why this particular type of make-your-own-noodle is called Cart Noodle!

Today, Vasco chose something else: spicy fried tofu, stir fried noodle, congee with liver (Phil's choice, -_-') and fried bread stick in rice noodle roll (yummy!). Phil also ordered a strange drink: iced coffee with lemon! It is definitely an acquired taste. Alice went for the more conservative yin yeung (coffee with milk tea).
