AUSTRALIA DAIRY COMPANY
UNFORGETTABLE HONG KONG CHA CHAAN TENG EXPERIENCE

Cha Chaan Tengs are a quintessential part of Hong Kong's food culture, loved and hated by locals for their cheap and fast service, as well as their infamous rude service. Australia Dairy Company, one of the top Cha Chaan Tengs in Hong Kong, is a testament to this love-hate relationship, as evident by the long queues of patrons outside the restaurant.

The restaurant's fame lies primarily in its food. Its scrambled eggs, which are extra soft and creamy due to the addition of cream, are a must-try, and a signature dish of the establishment. In addition to eggs, the restaurant also serves dairy-based desserts, such as steamed milk pudding. Despite the name, the dairy products used by the restaurant have no relation to Australia. In fact, the restaurant is named after its founder, who worked on an Australian farm in the 1940s.

Apart from the food, Australia Dairy Company is also renowned for its service. With high table turnover rates, the restaurant prides itself on serving customers quickly, often earning it the nickname "Light Speed Meal." However, due to the fast-paced nature of the service, customers should expect minimal customer service, and may even receive blame from the staff for ordering, eating, or paying too slowly. While this kind of rude service may not be pleasant, it is certainly an authentic Hong Kong dining experience.

To avoid being blamed by the waitstaff, it's best to keep a few things in mind when dining at Australia Dairy Company.

  1. Don't reserve a seat for someone who's coming later, as waiters will assign seats to whoever's available.
  2. Asking for recommendations is also not recommended, as the staff do not have the time to entertain customers. Instead, the most popular set is scrambled eggs, ham, and toast, paired with a bowl of macaroni with barbecue pork, followed by steamed milk pudding for dessert.
  3. The restaurant is always packed, and waiters play a game of Tetris with customers to assign seats. So, be prepared to sit with strangers.
  4. When you're finished, avoid lingering or scrolling on your phone, as there are always people waiting outside. Simply pay and go, and enjoy the authentic local experience of dining at Australia Dairy Company.
