Australia Dairy Company
The scrambled eggs at Australia Dairy Company, a cha chaan teng in Jordan, reached The Food Connoisseur in 2026 "soft, glossy, barely set."
Why go
Australia Dairy Company is a cha chaan teng (tea restaurant), the kind of Hong Kong café that serves Western and Chinese dishes side by side.1 Time Out Hong Kong put it plainly in 2026: Anyone can cook eggs, but no one does it better than the Australia Dairy Company.
4 Foodie put it first among the city's cha chaan tengs the same year.5
The menu is mostly in traditional Chinese, so order the breakfast set.1 In June 2025 it brought macaroni soup with ham, buttered toast, scrambled or fried eggs and a coffee or milk tea for HK$48. Tsubaki, who ate it that month, wrote: The broth was light but flavorful, the eggs were soft and smooth, and the toast was perfectly crisp with just a light layer of butter.
2 Daniel Ang ate the eggs between the toast in 2013 and found the buttered toast was soft and aromatic.

The service is part of the visit. Angela Hui summed it up for 50 Best in 2024: The mantra is: eat swiftly, savour intensely and depart promptly.
3 The Food Connoisseur, who ate here in 2026, was ushered in and expected to order immediately
and firmly refused
an extra dish. The writer's picture of the room: The waiters shout. Orders are barked across the room.
Then came the one kind moment: That said, my waiter uncle humoured me. There was a brief moment of eye contact, a half-smile, and then the eggs arrived. In Hong Kong, this counts as warmth.

What locals & experts say
- 50 Best (2024): Angela Hui:
Its incredibly fluffy and moist crustless scrambled egg with corned beef sandwich is a classic.
3 - Hong Kong Tourism Board (undated): the bartender Antonio Lai recommended the scrambled egg with toast and the steamed milk pudding.8

just make sure you order fast, eat fast, and leave fast as there's almost always a long queue of people waiting, no matter what time you go.
There are no bookings.41 - Payment: cash only. Tsubaki could pay with neither a card nor an Octopus card in 2025.2
- Timing: open from early morning into the evening, shut on Thursdays.19 Daniel Ang also found it shut over Chinese New Year in 2013.6

Verdict
should-visit — Go for the scrambled eggs on buttered toast, which the city's café guides rank first. Expect a queue and waiters who hurry you out. Bring cash.
