Australia Dairy Company is well known for its scrambled eggs and egg custards. It is a must-go destination when you are at Jordan or Kowloon.


Australia Dairy Company, Jordan


The environment and its pace in the restaurant are fast. My friend and I had to share our table with others. The table is really small but could fit 4 persons.


The waiters are very efficient.


Menu in Chinese Character

I can't read in Chinese that why I had to rely on my friend to translate. The waiter could really speak fast when I ask him what the restaurant specialty
is in Cantonese.


Set Menu


Egg Custard



Scramble Eggs Sandwiched

Fluffy moist scramble eggs sandwiched between two thick and fluffy bread.
The scramble eggs are perfectly seasoned and I think there is a hint of cheese. Yummy ^_^


Almond Egg Custard

Wanton Noodle is a must have in Hong Kong. You could find it almost every corner in Hong Kong. I get to know Mak Mun Kee is well known for its wanton noodles in Jordon, Kowloon.

Wanton Noodle

It is so chewy because the noodle is handmade. The soup has hint of seafood stock in it. The combination of both is magical.



Wanton (Dumpling)

The wanton is packed with fresh prawn and its skin is thin. Thinking it right now makes mouth watery.


Prawn Roe Noodle

I find it a little too salty to my liking.



Braised Pork Leg with Nam Yee (a type of fermented bean curd) Noodle

Loves the taste of Nam Yee. The Braised Pork Leg is tender and cooked to perfection.

A few Hong Kong friends of mine told me when I'm around Mongkok area, I have to try the Suckling Pig from Tai Hing. It will be sold out before lunch time. Since I'm in Gold Fish Street (Tung Choi Street), Mong Kok, why not I give it a try.

The skin of suckling pig is crispy and the pork is fresh. Yummy.




Roast Eight Treasure

I ordered roast goose, BBQ pork, roast pork, squid and etc.

Today I came across some photographs of Grieving barn swallow from Wilson Hsu and also from Jo's Blog.

It is a touching story, which I wanted to share with you all.



1. A female barn swallow is injured and the condition is fatal. She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road.

2. Her mate brought her food and attended to her with love and compassion.

3. He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead. He tried to move her ... a rarely-seen effort for swallows.

4. He stood beside her, saddened of her death.



5. Finally aware that she would never return to him, he stood beside her body with sadness and sorrow. Barn swallows mate for life.


6. He stands vigil to his lost companion


All living creatures do have feeling. Please respect them too ^_^
