Bo Dao Tea House: Taiwanese Cuisine

On my fourth and last full day (flight home was noon the next day) in Hong Kong, Kim and I went to Ocean Park. We tried to get on almost all the rides, checked out all the exhibits, and walked most of the entire park. With the weather, it was a sweat-a-thon from 10AM to 5:30PM! We were really tired afterwards, and we slept almost the entire way back on the bus. As soon as we got back to Admiralty, we hopped on an MTR to Mong Kok. Even though we were tired, we wanted to get some shopping done and get some dinner of course.

We walked around while trying to shop and looking for a place to eat also. We came upon this Taiwanese eatery called Bo Dao. We were attracted by the deep fried goodies they had on their big display outside, and from the fragrant smell coming from inside. But first, I bought an 888ml pet bottle of coke from the neighboring 7-Eleven. I can't finish a whole liter of coke in one seating, but this 888ml bottle is just perfect. Haha.

The place had a similar setup to Butao King, airconditioned but open at the same time, if that makes sense. There were more than a handful of diners inside occupying the small wooden chairs and tables, so the food must be great. Let's find out!

Kim ordered the Beef strips with Bean Curd Sauce and Mushroom (49 HKD).

It tasted like Yoshinoya's Beef Bowl only sweeter and more saucey with bits of mushroom. With those said, it was an excellent dish especially for the Pinoy taste!

I ordered the Fried Pork Chop Rice (46 HKD).

Not the prettiest pork chop to look at, but it was greasy and tasty! It came with a bowl of tomato sauce which I was really apprehensive to put on it at first. But oh my, it really went well together!

We also ordered the Deep Fried Supreme to share (85 HKD).

This platter consisted of deep fried goodies! There were porkchop (again!), tofu, samosa, and spring rolls. We were hungry and really didn't care about the cholesterol on this very oily plate, we gobbled almost everything up! Again, everything went surprisingly well with the tomato sauce. Since it was a handful, we had a a piece each of porkchop, samosa and spring roll that we took back to the flat.

This meal was probably really unhealthy with the amount of oil we had, but it was really good. Plus, it seemed like one of the cleaner restaurants in the street at the end of Ladies' Market. If you're ever in the area, and would want a sure thing for dinner or lunch, Bo Dao is a decent enough place to eat at. Plus, they have a proper english menu :)
