Infamous for their steamed milk and egg custards, Australia Dairy Company as many fellow blogger visited Hong kong and commented well on this Cha Can Teng (Hongkie tea house). The Australia Dairy Company had become more of a must-go destination for food hunters visiting Hong Kong. The sight of throngs of people winding outside its doors anxiously waiting to get in speaks better than any advertisements.

Hongkie waiters are superbly efficient working to get everyone in and out as quickly as possible. Nothing personal, they just wanna keep heads rolling. Our first Hongkie breakfast at ADC cost only HKD 26 / pax!! Super cheap for HK standard.
Read from Tastytreat's blog that there is even a Facebook Group dedicated to this heavenly scrambled eggs. 
ADC actually has a good collection of food variety on its menu, just that in the chaotic small space of ADC, one just feels like getting the food ordering part settled a.s.a.p.
