Australia Dairy Company (澳洲牛奶公司) is a traditional Hong Kong restaurant, cha chaan teng, in Jordan, Hong Kong, specialising in steamed milk pudding, scrambled eggs, toast and custard dishes.[4][5][6] The company was named by the founder, who had worked on an Australian farm in the 1940s.[7][8]

The restaurant's brand name was coined from dairy. Founded in 1970 by a Tang family,[9] it is one of the oldest restaurants in Hong Kong. It has been mentioned by The Guardian as one of the top 10 budget restaurants in Hong Kong.[7]

The restaurant is notable for its efficient but often rude service, with a short average customer visit length of only 10 minutes.[1][2] It is also famous for its signature egg custard pudding and scrambled eggs.[4][5][10][11] It has been described as an iconic Hong Kong restaurant.[12]

Reception

The restaurant has received various accolades in recent years, having been recommended by Asian lifestyle magazine CNNGo in their Best Eats Awards for 2010,[13] and winner of the OpenRice Best Restaurant Awards, in the district and cuisine categories (Best Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui (2014–15); Best Hong Kong Style Tea Restaurant (2008–2015)). Additionally, it has been mentioned by The Guardian as one of the top 10 budget restaurants in Hong Kong.[7]

It has been described as an iconic Hong Kong restaurant,[12] a Hong Kong institution. Writing in The New York Times style magazine, Jade Lai sums up its aesthetic as "I like the aesthetic of this place — it's very Wong Kar-wai."[14]
