What can't you do in HK?
Recommend the Mandarin Cafe for dinner.
Also Felix restaurant at the Peninsula (Tsim Sha Tsui) - but book early so you can see the sun go down & the lights come up.
Also Regent Hotel (TST) for afternoon tea and 'sun down lights up' experience.

Hong Kong is undoubtedly a heaven for food-lovers. For Dim Sum, Hang Fook Lau Seafood Restaurant is good, just down the road from The Wesley. Kung Wo Tong sweets are naturally good & tasty. Char siu fan is excellent everywhere. You can also try a variety of claypot rice in Yau Ma Tei, just 2 mins walk after getting out from the MTR station. For Hong Kong overview, The Peak is recommended; try go by bus & come back by tram. The Avenue of Stars provides a romantic & scenic view of the Hong Kong island. Shopping is most enjoyable in Loi Yan Kai; reasonably priced. Travelling is generally easy in HK; just get down to the MTR stations & find your way from the maps.

Stayed at Metropark Hotel - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

Manic but fun city - we were there for 4 days and tried to pack in as much as possible (without too much shopping!)View from the Peak is a must - Cafe Deco restuarant - excellent and not horrendously expensive (compared to Dubai/UK)- but reserve if you want a table with a view. Ladies market is OK but not as good as Chinatown in KL or Singapore. Stanley is a bit like an English seaside town - very busy at weekends - market is good but prices are comparatively high for souvenirs - some excellent art galleries/shops and a couple of good shops for good quality ladies linen clothes. Went for a day to Macau - which was a lovely contrast - also took a half day tour to the New Territories. Excellent Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong 27 Percival Street, Causeway Bay is the Tai Woo Restaurant - Executive Manager Raymond Sinn is wonderful - let him teach you how to eat a crab properly!

Stayed at Newton Inn North Point - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

Can highly recommend the Little Green Restaurant on North Point Road for value. We found it easy to use public transportation but preferred the taxi to and from the airport. The taxi wasn't much more than several public transporation fees.
We traveled into mainland China but will not return.

Must do(s):
1) Have yum cha for breakfast.
2) Take ferry to the Kowloon side and spend a day shopping along Nathan Road and Harbour City Shopping Mall (largest in HK).
3) While in the Tsim Sha Tsui area, visit the Peninsula Hotel.
4) Take ferry (central) back to HK island and go to the tram terminal for a nice ride up Victoria Peak. Have pre-dinner drinks up the peak and watch the sunset and the colorful lights below light up.
5) Dinner at Yung Kee restaurant, located near Lan Kwai Fong.
5) After dinner, party into the night at Lan Kwai Fong if you are not knackered by then!

I recommend you should go to Lee Garden, which has classic Cantonese food.
Please note that there are several branches in Kowloon and Hong Kong. If I want to eat any kind of Cantonese food under the bright light and good services, I prefer Mongkok from the other branches.

There's a restaurant about a block away called the Hot Basil Thai Restaurant. Excellent in every way. For getting around, use the 25M bus to connect to the transit. Very good transit system.
