5 Things You Need to Know Before Visiting Hong Kong’s Rudest Restaurant
Everyone and their mum knows that a visit to Hong Kong is incomplete without a plate of scrambled eggs from the Australia Dairy Company (not, Australian Dairy Company!) in Jordan. Best described as a no-frills, fast-talking and fast-moving ‘cha chaan teng’ or Hong Kong-style café, this foodie spot is certainly not for the faint-hearted. Here are 5 things you need to know before arriving.
Customer Service is Non-Existent
You haven’t experienced Hong Kong until you’ve had a taste of just how rude cha chaan teng waiters can be. Ask any local and they’ll tell you that the Australia Dairy Company has one of the worst reputations for customer service in the entire city. If you’re expecting welcoming servers who are ready to please, you’ve come to the wrong place. The waiters at Australia Dairy Company are permanently in frantic mode trying to seat and feed everyone, and what comes with all that coordination is a temper. They’re impatient with pretty much every step of your eating experience and they’ll let you know either by their facial expressions or words.
Go in with very, very low expectations for customer service and you’ll have no problems because the food makes up for everything!
