When I first visited this place in Jan 2013, I was blown away because at this place where the waiters act like food nazis, they definitely serve the BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS EVER. My second visit here in Apr 2014, the impression stays the same. Besides their scrambled eggs, they're also known for their steamed egg white pudding with milk (HKD23). This place is thronged by locals and tourists alike. Right in front of us in the queue, is a family from Singapore. Wherever there's good food, there's bound to be Singaporeans, queuing, to the ends of the earth.
There were about 30 people in front of us in queue at 9.30am, we waited for about 20 min before we got a seat.

With the extensively varied menu (see below), one can get overwhelmed at all the (yummy) possibilities. Fret not, the fuss-free (ok actually, maybe not so at ADC) breakfast set meals save the day. ADC is also known for their extremely impatient (bordering on rude) waiters. Why do we subject ourselves to such service for the sake of good food?! Sometimes I wonder.
Anyway, here are some tips on managing these waiters and avoiding their wrath. Although there are set meals, you still need to tell the waiter whether you want your eggs scrambled (炒蛋), or sunny side up (煎蛋）, and coffee or tea. When your drink doesn't come and you want to check with them, you don't have the time to ask them to check if your drink is coming (or rather, the waiters don't have the time to wait for you to finish your sentence). You just tell them, "餐茶", and they'll know that your drink, which comes with the set meal, has not arrived yet. Don't say, "奶茶", as they may think you want a new order.
The table behind us, the waiter was just short of telling the girl off because the girl was looking at the menu (plastered against the wall) while ordering, and the waiter couldn't hear her (of course, the place was bustling with activity). The waiter went, "看着我说，看着我说！" It was exasperating but funny.
Ultra smooth texture with aroma of milk. The macaroni and ham is nothing special actually.
Here comes the bomb! The toast is buttered, while the eggs are scrambled to pefection. Light, fluffy, moist and flavourful, it was simply one of the best things I've tasted (and the cheapest). This is always what I dream of when I think about Hong Kong.
For now, yes I agree.
