Australia Dairy Company    澳洲牛奶公司  

the best here is definitely their scrambled egg. fluffy and creamy, rarely done well even at the 5 star hotels in HK.

the macroni w/ ham and clear soup is OK, pretty standard, the soup was most outstanding as it was tasty, not too salty, no MSG (i'm allergic). the steamed milk/egg dessert was way way too sweet.

the main drawback is there isn't a lot of variety of good food I want to try there. it's crowded and usually a bit of a wait for tables. service is OK. i would go back for the egges, that's about it.

for someone living on hk side the biggest headache in attempting a visit to australia dairy company is logistics. if you don't want to take the mtr and want to drive to this place, parking is a nightmare. not to mention that there is always a long line in front of the restaurant at any time of the day. every time we come here we end up spending more time trying to get here and lining up for a spot than actually sitting down to eat.

the efficiency of this place is amazing. the minute the waiter shows you your share of the table be prepared to order. and you would think it takes him a few minutes to walk to the kitchen and put in the order but he will be out with your scrambled eggs and toast in less than 1 minute. if you order the full breakfast you cannot get your drink right away because there is simply no room on the table! you'll have to gobble up your food fast anyways because the waiter will direct the next people waiting for a table to the table, giving you pressure to leave as soon as you're done.

but all this is worth it once you experience the scrambled eggs! the eggs are scrambled to perfection - a bit runny and the perfect yellow color, and just a tad bit salty. once you've tried their breakfast you will want to come again and that is the reason why there is always a long line outside this hong kong institution.

There is never a moment when Australia Dairy Company is NOT packed with people. When you see no lines outside, you may think there aren't many people inside. Swing out the door and look inside, the clientele messily sit across the room, waiters yelling and writing and passing through. Don't fret, everyone has their first time, right? There is nothing to be scared about the ADC, maybe a little on the service if you're not used to the no-second chance (of changing your mind) ordering. No worries, after a few times, you'll realize that what you experience in ADC is in fact very much alike as whatever you experience in the outside world, only that in ADC, you get nice food instead of salary.

I stumbled into Jordan for no apparent reason one afternoon when, a long queue which bent around the corner of the street attracted my attention. I followed the queue, and came to arrive at the entrance of ADC. I asked around, and I got these strange looks even from a foreigner who speaks no Chinese...She gave me a quizzical look as she claimed that ADC has the best scrambled eggs in town. In less than 2 minutes we arrived at the same table, and in fluent finger-pointing technique she pointed at the "fast meal" (快餐), while I settled for the "set meal" (常餐). The U-shaped room was packed at all times, from morning to afternoon to late at night, there is never a time when ADC is not overcrowded. People who wander around inside will get what they deserve -- yelling from the short-tempered waiters and a possible spill of hot soup or milk tea all over them if they don't keep their eyes open or ears perked up.

"Quick, quick, did you order? " A waiter with wrinkled white uniform with the area around his shirt pocket stained of blue ink from the pen, writing pad in hand, rushed his speech addressing to our entire table of 6. It took less than my head to turn for the macaroni with BBQ pork too arrive. Steaming hot, the macaroni were exactly how I had it when I was little. The pork was merely a decoration of the entire dish, not meant to be the star of the show. Nobody should come to Australia Dairy Company for BBQ pork, that's like ordering seafood in a steakhouse: you'll get them eventually just not good. The macaroni was soft and immersed in the hot broth. Quickly spooning the macaroni into my mouth, I could see people rushing by, and waiters edging their ways through the waiting crowds who were anticipating the attention from other waiters.

As I looked up, my plate of toast with scrambled eggs arrived -- 2 thick slices of crustless white bread toasted on one side and smeared with butter. The golden glow of butter smelling like a promising breakfast I'd dream of having every single day but aren't. Two slices of ham spread across the steaming scrambled egg -- ever so golden, richly flavoured and not to be compared with the fast food variety. The scrambled egg was soft, and slightly more firm than creamy. It has a fine texture and well seasoned with the slightest bit of sweetness. I placed a small morsel of egg onto the toast and took a bite, the scrumptious egg's softness contrasted with the firm crispy toast. It's truly a simple pleasure to be enjoyed. No wonder so many people line up for their eggs every single day!

Downing the eggs and milk tea may not be filling enough. The Dynamic Duo were not to be missed. One being "Steamed milk with egg whites" and another the "Steamed egg custard with almond" (Both at $18, hot or cold). The Steamed milk is velvety smooth with a uniform whiteness so white it makes the bowl look rather dull. The milk is creamy as it's just set when served, slightly sweetened. 'Steamed egg with almond' is equally popular, I heard one of the waiter say, It arrived jiggling slightly, like softly set jelly, but steaming hot. The egginess is pronounced and the consistency is cream and appropriately thick without a cloying sweetness that mask the rich taste of fresh eggs. A whiff of almond sneaked up on the palate as you swallow, not overpowering the egg too. Beware what you order, you'll have better luck with piping hot orders of the dynamic duo, since they're fresher and apparently better. The chilled version tends to be a little more set and it resembles somewhat like panna cotta, but lighter.

Everything comes and go in full speed inside of the Australia Dairy Company, the service is prompt and fast. It is also rather unlikely to have second chances in your orders, so you should get your first time right. If you want scrambled eggs but not sure, don't order yet. Do your homework and know what you want. You say it fast and loud and clear, better yet, say it before the waiter nags at you. You do your job right, it helps the waiter do theirs. Ever since my first time here at ADC, I have frequented here every now and then.

i go to this rest for more than 30 years....., always my favourite, ever time i back to hk, no matter how short it is, one day or couple days...., i will go there.... the toast is soooooo gooood.....

my wife doesnt like the speed inside...., too fast for her..., but i like that...., you have to finish every thing with in 10 min...., i like the speed......, that is hk speed......

First day of 2009, try this famous restaurant as the first breakfast of the year.

Arrived at about 8am, still not a full house there, easily found a comfortable seat and ordered the well known scrambled eggs , toast and macaroni with ham.

Scrambled eggs - really good taste, rich and smooth with the flavour of butter there. Even better after adding pepper.

Toast - they used thick slice of bread and the texture was also soft and tender.

Macaroni with ham - ok stuff, the soup was quite nice with a bit like chicken flavour.

Also ordered hot milk, yet the taste was plain, a bit disapointed as its name "Australia Dairy" ... and seeing the "Wai Kee" milk inside the refrigerator.

Although a bit old fashioned, the overall impression of the restaurant was clean and tidy, the waiters were working fast and effective.

Normally I went to 澳洲牛奶公司 on weekend. This is the 2nd time that I have breakfast there on weekday.

Same Good scrambled egg and toasted bread.

A surprise on the good staff manner. There are some new faces for the staff and they are more polite and patient than the Old staff. Good improvement!!!

The "tea set" $28 seems very expensive - from the "Tet Set" - the BBQ pasta is so so, the portion of the ice drink (add $2) is very small. Only the toast and the eggs is OK.

Excellent scramble egg
The toast is quite good la but not crispy enough
beef macronoi: forget about it la, nothing special
milk tea: excellent taste of tea & smooth
hot milk custard: too sweet, not good
acutally some waiters are quite friendly

I do not understand why this restaurant is over-rated so much, the quality of food is just so so, and you will be "forced" to eat very quickly which is really bad.

I love the egg sandwich, the bread is good, the egg is yummy and the macaroni is good.
I just love the egg!!!!!!! so soft, not all cooked and not raw, just right....

Best scramble egg in town!!
If you haven't try yet? Don't miss it!
When the dish delivery on your table you already can smell the great egg taste!!
Toast is fine too!!
But they're always busy & the seat not really comfortable.

luv this restaurant !!!!
luv their toast and egg !!!
cant eat that in other restaurant !!!!

but i recently discovered that they give less eggs than before and " ga jor $ " !!!!

anyway, i must eat their breakfast once a week !!! yoyoyo

Bread is crispy and nice. The standard can't be kept everytime I go. However, the rest of the food is not that good and sometimes too greasy!

The most terrifying thing is the service provided by the waiter. It's not a kind of service, it's only a kind of rude behaviour like those street gangs. No service may be better than those so-called service.

been to this restaurant several times, the food is always good but always crowded. toast is great, milk tea is great, fried egg is great...it would be better if sit longer and be able to enjoy the food. because right now, you have a feeling that the waiters are pushing you in order to serve the next customers.

For those people saying the staff here are impolite, may I just add all those waiters really have what we call their own style there. Always try to get us some seats asap, when the food comes always say excuse me, and once even when I was about to leave one of them tapped my shoulder and said thank you. This is what I call service from the heart - at least these are acceptable service.

And regarding the food - look at the amount of people going to the shop - I think that explains all. If I don't go there once a week I'd really feel itchy.
