I have no idea what the MSG content is in those soups -- I would not be surprised at all if they use some. But I don't get thirsty after having it.
But I agree with everyone here -- Lido is definitely on the pricey side.

I'll keep that in mind but when I go to HK Style cafes it's because I'm craving baked pork chop on rice, spaghetti bolognese or curry beef on rice. I rarely venture out of these go-to dishes.

Alleluia was my go-to because their milk tea was pretty awesome and the food was not bad, but it has taken a huge nose dive since. The angry lady making the drinks no longer looks angry. Maybe her son got married and she's happy now. 
Lido's milk tea is pretty good, but I feel that they charge a premium in comparison to the competition. |
Totally agree with that. It's good but not worth the extra they charge.

I only like the one at the Richmond location. Coquitlam's tastes a bit different and it's been a while since I've been to the Vancouver one since I prefer Cafe Gloucester a few blocks down.
