Frequently asked questions
- How do I get to Australia Dairy Company?
- Jordan MTR, Exit C2, then two minutes to Parkes Street. It's an easy pairing with Temple Street Night Market a few blocks away if you're doing an evening visit.
- What day is Australia Dairy Company closed?
- Thursdays — every week, and people get burned by this constantly. Otherwise it runs 7:30am to about 10pm daily.
- Is Australia Dairy Company actually Australian?
- No — the founder reportedly once worked on a dairy farm in Australia, and the name stuck. Everything about it is pure Hong Kong cha chaan teng.
- Does Australia Dairy Company take credit cards?
- No — cash only, Hong Kong dollars. The bill is small anyway; a full breakfast set is around HK$50.
- What should I order at Australia Dairy Company?
- The breakfast set: scrambled egg sandwich or eggs on toast, macaroni soup with ham, and milk tea — all for roughly HK$40-60. Add a steamed milk pudding (hot or cold) to finish; it's the other signature.
- Why is Australia Dairy Company so famous?
- Its scrambled eggs — impossibly silky, barely-set, piled on soft white toast — plus steamed milk pudding that's been perfected over five decades. It's also famous for lightning service that borders on performance art: your food often lands before you've sat down properly.
- How long is the queue at Australia Dairy Company?
- Weekend mornings can be 20-40 minutes on the pavement, but the turnover is so fast the line moves constantly. Weekday afternoons you'll often wait five minutes or less.
- Is the service at Australia Dairy Company really that rude?
- It's brisk, not hostile — waiters in white shirts want your order the second you sit and your seat back the second you swallow. Treat it as part of the show, know your order before sitting, and you'll be fine.
