Would I wait in line for those scrambled eggs? You bet I would. Sure, the eggs are hyped and a draw in that regard. But, I love scrambled eggs. And, there is something about Cantonese and Canto-Western style scrambled eggs that I adore. The ones at Australia Dairy Company are textbook quality too. So silky and creamy. Probably loaded with lots of butter as you said. A great glimpse into an iconic restaurant, Hong Kong food culture, and the shopping scene in Mong Kok. Thanks for this video.

[@leemingwong5749]

Miss Mong Kok Street Food Scene. So happy you had a wonderful day. Thank you for your videos.

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Oh thank you for watching =) I hope you have a wonderful day too!

[@dominichill1492]

The egg sandwich looks so delicious. That Lego store was awesome looking and nice inside. This video makes me miss Hong Kong a lot. Sneak Street is very nice. Another great video from you Virginia sweetheart.

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Thanks so much for dropping by! How’s it going with you? hope you have an awesome day!

[@me.monako]

The food is just ordinary. It's the experience that's memorable, especially the rude staff who take your order really quickly, and then shoo you away as soon as you're finished. In fact, as you're finishing your food, they usher in the next customers to your table to make you realize it's time to go. 🤣

[@allanchan8370]

Really enjoyed this video, V! Mong Kok is awesome! Hmmm...maybe your new videos could be about HK's neighborhoods and what their food and shopping specialties are? 😉

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Hi Allan, Oh that’s a great idea! And if you guys are okay with vlog style then it actually is a lot easier 😂 I just go out to explore versus when I do food lists, we’re trying to fit so many shops in one day and eating so much 🤣 Thanks for watching!!! Hope you have a great day!

[@AsianPoshDorene]

Love these types of videos! Born in HK but have not been back since 1974. My family immigrated to the US. My parents have been back but never took me 🤣.

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Ohh good to hear! Wasn’t sure if people were interested in the toy malls and such but they were super fascinating to me when I first moved here. Like how can there be so many people into these things that whole building are dedicated to them and they’re always full?!? Thanks for watching! 😍

[@MeiinUK]

@@hongkongfoodtours : Can you show us where you would go to do clothes shopping ??? I am intrigued ! And can you cover something like about sizings ??.... This is something that I am always lost in.... (and by that, I mean... big UK size.... 😅🤣... or can you tell me where I can find floaty material clothings ??)..... Where do... how do... people buy corporate attires ??.... Don't tell me they have to custom make it... Any off the peg pieces ?....

[@ketchup_rice54]

Love your video!!! i visited ADC once. We jumped ahead of the line because we agreed to share a table with a stranger (1 guy sitting at a table of 4 and there were 3 of us). As we were lead to our table, we made our order and as soon as we sat down, our food was already there. We finished our meal in 10 mins and quickly left, so the other people waiting can take our seats. I am so surprised they let you video record and took your "time" eating. Being a huge toy collector, I have been at the places you visited; it is great to get a update of those places; the last time I was in HK was 2018. I'm just waiting until it is safe to travel to HK.

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Haha yes you have to share a table but now bc of social distancing, they let you have a booth per party, which is nice =) thanks for sharing your experience with me!!! hope you have a great day!

[@BomberFletch31]

Your vlogs just make me realise how much I miss Hong Kong. I haven't been back for over three years!

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Oh thank you for watching! Hope you come back soon =)

[@chow729]

That's very interesting, get the next Patron to hover around the table to expedite others dinning experience. I'm going to push a patiets stretcher next to a occupied hospital bed tomorrow, and see how that works.

[@DonJ1973]

Loved this video Virginia. I think it’s one of your best food videos. Very well edited and paced. Good job. Mong Kok is an awesome part of town. Been there many times. I’ve visited Argyle Plaza a number of times at Sums Lounge to buy the Monchhichi dolls for my sister who collects them.

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Oh thanks so much Don! Love your candid insights - really helps with deciding what to film. If everybody likes vlogs then awesome bc they’re easier to film and funner too in a way. You’ve visited so many places! What other places would you like to see?

[@DonJ1973]

@@hongkongfoodtours You know what. I would like to see an update of Stanley Market and what there is to do and eat there. I know it might not really be as bustling without tourists right now. I tried going there on of my trips years ago, but I think it closed already when I arrived.

[@toni-kaku]

Wow id love to spend the day going around HK eating all these 😍 congrats on 10k subs! 👏👏👏

Hi Virginia Great to see you’re back with some super upbeat foodie content. The first thing my wife said was ‘Virginia has some makeup on!’ Keep up the great videos 😀. We will be back in hk as soon as restrictions lift. Kenny & Gaynor

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Hahaha yes full face of it! 🤪 thanks for watching!

[@Apollo440]

You're the most likeable KZbin person ever! I don't know how you do it, but good job. I know you from Sonny's video. Didn't know you had such a cool channel!

[@subaman95]

glad you took your time in the restaurant despite the 10min sit time. LOL. Congrats on 10K

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Thanks Tony!!! Haha we didn’t actually stay for very long, someone was already breathing down our neck when I was eating the steamed milk pudding. I mean they take your dishes away so… when there’s nothing else on your table, you know it’s time to go 🤣 Thanks for giving me the 10k! Very sub counted 🙂

[@MeiinUK]

The Australian Milk company is kind of started by somebody that was Cantonese.. and then he went to work in Australia.. and in truth... if you're local Cantonese.. then there is a chance that you could be related to them ! :) I've never tried the steamed milk.. but my cousin took me there for the egg sandwiches.. Now in my 40s... I really appreciate this company. I had no idea of its significance before in my family tree. Next time I'm back... I shall go there again. Many SE Asian cannot digest milk proteins anyway, so the fact that they steam is to break down the molecules will help you absorb the milk a lot more. And the watery style is quite unclogging and a nice feeling. Also good for some calcium absorption too. Love the sheung tong with pasta. It's a classic chicken consumme. Very nutritious. Soups in HK are often revered anyway cos it is so humid and hot over there... more water in your meals per day is most preferably preferred.

[@TheTenuredPassholder]

I've tend to have the macaroni and ham and the egg sandwich a couple of times when I'm in HK. It's a quick and easy meal, especially earlier in the day!

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Yes great for a quick meal =)

[@orlinchirinos1981]

[@good_to_be_gold8]

So much to eat in Hong Kong. Wished I had stayed longer. Great recommendations 😊

[@CowboyTalksTooMuch]

Virginia you went through my entire Mong Kok route (when I worked in Hong Kong) starting from In's Point and Sino down the length of Sneaker Street, though I usually end up at Paisano's for a couple of huge pizza slices after all the walking and shopping. Thanks for a huge blast of nostaligia, I really, really miss Hong Kong!

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Hahah that’s awesome! What else was interesting and worth visiting?

[@CowboyTalksTooMuch]

@@hongkongfoodtours Unfortunately I wasn't able to go to as many places as I could (I worked mainly out of Tuen Mun--yes all the way out in the mountains--and Cyberport) so my main haunts were TST, SSP, MK, Sheung Wan (hmm, all the Paisano's branches lol), and most of Causeway Bay. I was hoping someday you could show me and my friends around on a proper eating tour!

[@WindblownIdeas]

Great video, I want one of those hotdogs!

[@hongkongfoodtours]

They were so delicious! Thanks for dropping by and hope you have an awesome day!

[@TheHoth1]

Glad I mastered the fine art of cooking scrambled eggs, so I don't have to wait in line like that. Oh wait, I don't live in HK. Sigh......:(

[@kallreader7376]

Looks great. Maybe you can get spaghetti another time. I always see people get the macaroni, was hoping to see what the spaghetti looks like (is it same type of soup/sauce)?

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Haha yes it’s exactly the same but with the spaghetti that you’re thinking of. There’s always next time =)

[@Mckenzieharrs]

The waiting by the table would make such a great Seinfeld episode. Seriously. Better than Soup Nazi.

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Hahah I’m actually watching Seinfeld for the first time, haven’t gotten to the soho nazi but I did watch the Chinese restaurant one and thought that’s totally something that’s happened irl. Also totally think Seinfeld invented the vlog genre 🤣 a show about nothing. Thanks for sharing - can’t wait to watch that episode! Hope you have a fab day!

[@AliePotter]

My anxious self couldn’t fathom eating at Australia Dairy Co.! Plus I reckon they’d yell at slow eaters lol

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Yeah it’s kinda crazy but the staff has mellowed out a lot recently. A lot nicer

[@guppy0536]

Of course gonna be nice to some one with a camera 📷 🙂

[@Nicola_Song]

I should have tried Australia dairy when I went back then!! The line is so crazy !!

[@hongkongfoodtours]

The line was crazy when I went bc it had just reopened from a small hiatus due to the covid… it’s not as bad these days!

[@locksucau]

Good shows Virginia, I like the variety of local food places and other types of establishments you take us for a more realistic feel of Hong Kong, my family and I are from NYC and hope to visit HK again soon!.

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Thanks so much! Please do come - but after our quarantine is over - it's still a bit difficult to go in and out of HK at the moment =) Hope to see you in 2023! Thanks for watching all the way from NYC!

[@368chen]

Virginia, if I lived in HK, I would want to be your BFF since you’re always eating the most incredible looking foods 😂 Funny how you were suppose to buy some things that you wanted, but just ate your way through HK, which is something I would definitely do.

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Yes if your plans don’t go as planned, just eat through 🤪 thanks for commenting - hope you’re having a great day!

[@justafterdark1177]

Missing HK! Can't wait to visit soon!

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Yes! But wait until our borders open up =) thanks for taking time to comment - hope you have a fab day!

I think the eggs look so good. Lived in Japan for 14 years and Japan make the same thing for omu rice. Love great eggs.

[@LennyWu]

So funny going in Summer 2022 during the pandemic. I went at dinner time and it wasn't as busy. :) I didn't go for the macaroni, went with the spaghetti.

[@web3wizard381]

lining up for macaroni and ham? crowd psychology in action

[@kwonster3957]

Definitely want to try the scrambled eggs at Austrailia dairy co.! Look really yummy! Just out of curiosity, in HongKong now, do you use both HKD and CNY?? Great to see you spreading happiness and good food info!! Thanks Virginia!

[@hongkongfoodtours]

We don’t use RMB- it’s only HKD. But restaurants have Alipay and different forms of Mainland Chinese electronic payments so mainland Chinese tourists can pay that way. If at the peak of tourism, it’s possible some touristy restaurants will take rmb but it would be equal to HKD so the customer would take a slight loss as rmb is higher in value. Hope that helps!

[@kwonster3957]

@@hongkongfoodtours thank you!!

[@robertcorrigan-pe2tv]

You do a great job!!!!!

[@SuMtOnE]

Damn, usually you see long lines when there's a new iphone launch or something similar, me personally. I'd go to another store. LOL. But the food looked amazing. How's the crimes in Hong Kong by the way? If that waiter wore that gold bracelet here in America, he'll be beaten and robbed in broad day-light. For the hot dog, i would add each sauce individually on each bite size, so i can try each flavor on it's own.. BTW, You should buy a small souvenir to send out to one of your subscriber =), I love this content btw. a little bit mixture of what's there to do.

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Oh yes maybe a giveaway yes? I have to see how our postal service is doing given our “covid” situation. Hahah hk-ers love a good line and thanks for dropping a comment and watching! Crime is relatively low so everybody here has a Rolex for some reason 🤷‍♀️ hopefully you’ll like the next video - hope you have a great day!

This restaurant is infamous with its rude staff.

[@KVSulinom]

[@breadyegg]

"Bye" is just bye bye, with a high tone then low tone. "See you" is har chee geen (lit. next time see)

"joi geen", but its more like farewell

Is the milk pudding like the English rice pudding?? I am assuming it is similar.

[@stephen129]

It's a bit like panna cotta

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Yes agreed!

[@MeiinUK]

No. It's a very very light steamed pudding. Kind of like ... creme brulee.. but much much much lighter, cos it uses milk and not cream... and it is steamed... and not baked. In a hot country like SE Asia... higher water contents kind of helps you in general as well. So it doesn't feel like cloggy after you've had that. The Watercress honey tea.. is a new one. :) (But yes... HK people, I find that, they are... "shouty and maybe customer services are kind of bad, but their ethics are solid and strong"... Watercress is a dark green and most dark greens help your body heal in general any way. So it is a kind of TCM thing.... It's very cute. That one must be new. This is why in HK.. even if you do not have healthcare provision, you can be fine, in general... Cos the food that you can get are pretty healing in nature.

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Hahah I guess we’re used to the being rushed part. I’m picky but an egg lover, and those scramble eggs I have to admit were pretty good 🤪😍🤪 But they did dip in quality a while back… so please try them again when you’re in town next!

[@sammiyen]

I love everything about HK but this place nope!!! Egg is soggy and bland and their macaroni soup is not that good.

Why would anyone want to go to Australia Dairy Co.?

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Hahaha because David… their eggs are really that good! And also don’t you want to see what the hype is? 🤪

[@MeiinUK]

Because a protein breakfast is good for you? Maybe leave the carb. Protein brekkie , hold steady blood sugar. A good start to the day. Calcium from milk. Good for bones. I will probably order dine in and take outs. Save my watercress tea for lunch. Save my milk tea. Eat the eggs. Ditch the bread. And then drink the soups ! 🤣🤣🤣... If frugal.. then back the carb.
