Australia Dairy Co, Parkes Street, Hong Kong

We had breakfast at Australia Dairy Co. (澳洲牛奶公司) on our 2nd day in Hong Kong (Oct 2007). I searched online prior to the tour for some famous foods around my hotel area, and this shop is one of the most popular for Hong Kong style breakfast.

ADC is located at Parkes Street (白加士街) in Jordan (佐敦); in fact Parkes Street is quite popular among local food seekers… try to find your way there if you are on Hong Kong gourmet tour. The eatery is famous for its pack customer, fast services, and their scramble eggs. We ordered 2 set of breakfast, each with scramble eggs toast, soup pasta and a cup of Yin-Yeung (鸳鸯; coffee-tea mix), which cost around HK$26 per set.
The food was decent. The scramble eggs were as good as it could be, toast was ok, but we had mixed opinions for the pasta… my eldest sis hated it, but I kinda liked it. The Yin-Yeung was just nice.
What really amazed me about the restaurant were the environment and its pace. It was packed as expected… we had to share our table with others, and some customers had to stand and wait for their seats.
The waiters and crew served customers with great efficiency, and those that were eating were quite cooperative too, finishing their food ASAP to give their seats… I guess the fast moving pace is part of Hong Kong culture, and this restaurant reflected it perfectly.
The name of the restaurant is quite weird though… they do sell milk and dairy products, but I guess it’s not what they are famous for.
Address: 47-49, Parkes Street, Jordan, Hong Kong.
