I have never had a sit-down meal at this little restaurant since it is always full of people, so my comments are merely based on what I get from takeaway experiences at this place.

Mia can be easily missed especially if you are not a local resident of Mei Foo. Its unobtrusive yet exotic exterior does not necessarily stand out from the myriad of shops on the podium. It does help to have a local lead the way.
Apart from that, and the fact that the meals are not designed for burly men who shovel food down their gobs,
My personal favourite is the seafood risotto. It is creamy, yet it does not dominating to the point where it tastes like seafood chowder - it leaves enough taste to linger on your tongue and in your mouth. Some discerning eaters may find it a bit too mushy for their liking, but I think it's fine - maybe because I like my risotto a little bit mushy. The 瓜類植物 makes an interesting contrast with the risotto.
Pizza wise, this is nothing like the ones you get at chain outlets. It has a very thin dough base along with a thin but wide crust. I personally hate the crusts from pizzas at chain outlets, but I was very happy in munching on the crusts because it was very crispy, although some may complain about the lack of cheese as topping. Again, this is a matter of personal preference.
I also love their Italian coffee. It's a different ball park from the flat whites I'm used to having, but sometimes just a simple coffee that smells nice is all that is required to make it stick in someone's mind.
Their takeaway packaging is an elegant matter. All the foods and drinks are tucked into white paper bags, containing plastic microwavable boxes and bowls that can essentially be reused. The beverages unfortunately cannot be reused and are generally housed in lidded takeaway coffee cups. They don't shy away from packaging just because you don't sit at their restaurant to eat.
All in all, a generally pleasant takeaway experience from this little joint in Mei Foo.
