Australian Dairy Company l Jordon l Kowloon

One of the amazing things about Hong Kong is the fact that you will find the best scrambled eggs here. More specifically, you’ll find them at the Australian Dairy Company. Constantly busy, this Hong Kong mainstay has been around for generations and turns out the smoothest, fluffiest, eggiest scrambled eggs you will find. Always just set and buttery, they are moist and delicious in that way which talks directly to your reptilian back brain, turning off all conscious thoughts and leaving you with nothing but animal pleasure. Served with thick buttered slices of toast and that Hong Kong invention of macaroni and ham in chicken broth, it is the quintessential breakfast.

Strangely enough, I had always known the place for its piping hot custards which are smooth and creamy. I arrived one morning, noting everyone ordering scrambled eggs and tried some for myself. I was shocked and instantly hooked.

Rumors swirl around just what makes their eggs so unique. Some say that they add corn starch to the eggs to allow them to set at a much earlier and hence smoother stage. Others point to the stark yellow color as a sign of extra egg yolks. Still others note that the use of a wok may give for a greater surface area to allow for a more even surface area for the eggs to set.

There are even rumors that the wait staff is actually composed triad members given well paid jobs in lieu of extortion money. I just chalk their curt manner to the need for brisk service in one of the busiest restaurants in Hong Kong.
