After three years of being open, one thing is for sure, Mitao has definitely garnered some devoted fans. And for good reason: it's said that you can find the best dumplings in SoPi and the finest grandma’s pastries here. Without further ado, we set off to explore this buzzing neighborhood spot, and we left absolutely smitten!
Behind the stove, we find Jade and her team, who prepare a plethora of little Asian dishes that you can enjoy on-site or take away every day behind the counter. Because yes, here everything is homemade, deliciously cooked with love and, above all, with a mix of spices – specially blended by Jade – that fills our taste buds with a thousand and one flavors, all at friendly prices.
My canteen...
The slim menu displaying fewer than ten dishes is already a good indicator of the quality of the meals we enjoy being served. As for us, we decided on a buddha bowl with a rice base and fresh vegetables for those days when we crave something light.
rc;cheur, as well as on the teriyaki bento with perfectly cooked chicken pieces that are carefully seasoned. Of course, we couldn't overlook the rainbow grilled dumplings, naturally colored with vegetable juices and filled with pork, chicken, beef, or an entirely vegetarian stuffing. I promise, it's delicious!
My Tea Room!
What will bring joy to all our sweet tooth friends are definitely the homemade cakes that Jade prepares fresh every day. Raspberry tart, chocolate fondant, lemon cake… Cakes just like Grandma used to make when we were young, but she sometimes adds a twist with traditionally Asian ingredients like her matcha financier or her Thai pandan leaf flan. In short, nothing is store-bought or frozen, we only have homemade goodies. You’re going to love it!
