The Pizza bar on the Wan Chai side, next to Carnegie's is a really good pasta and pizza restaraunt for the money, taste and quantity.

Very convenient to Wan Chai MTR station, so all of Hong Kong is nearby. Bo Kung vegetarian restaurant in Times Square was wonderful.

Stayed at Bishop Lei International - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

This is my 15th trip here in HK. I used to work in HK in 1994 and for the past decade whenever I travel overseas, I try to stopover in HK. Hence I know all the streets (well, almost), the places to find (beyond the tourist guidebooks), the hotels to stay. I have stayed in all sorts of hotels from Peninsula, Conrad, Ritz, to Bishop Lei, Imperial, Ambassador (now torn down become Holiday Inn) so each has their own to offer. Bishop Lei differs in the proximity to the church.
For places to visit not described by guidebooks, you should try Shek O (see their golf club), Tai Long Wan (the beach), Tseung Kwan O (the crispness of the air), Golden Beach (looks like Perth), Pokfulam (Stanley stadium).
For food, you should try San Francisco steakhouse at Peking Road, Peak cafe in Soho (it used to be formerly at the Peak), coffee house at IFC, Luk Yik restaurant on Stanley Road (giving you a taste of what a dim sum restaurant really is about, with her unique waitress hanging dim sum around their necks), Suzuki coffee at Pacific place for her good Blue Mountain coffee, Shamrock hotel for her good dim sum (and where one of the few places serving excellent Long Jin tea).

Stayed at Stanford Hotel - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

The location, once you walk out of the hotel you will be facing north. If you go towards the north, and northeast of the hotel there are a lot of shops that specialize in car parts, some car racing parts, and many places selling car stereo and car accessories, about 90% Japanese car parts, and maybe 10% BMW and Mercedes car parts. If you went left out of the hotel (West) you will find ladies market within a few blocks. If you walk a little further you will come to the famous Nathan street, and that road is all shops. The hotel is about a 7 minute walk to the Mong Kok MTR (subway).

Stayed at Garden View International House - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

Went on an amazing “mobile phone walking tour” on this visit to HK – kind of like the museum audio guide, except along the streets of HK with obviously well researched good stories of triads, movies, immigrants, history, etc. Service is called ‘Walk The Talk’. We bought our packages at the Dymocks bookstore by the Central Star Ferry - you just dial a local phone number, enter a passcode that comes with the package and start walking! Convenient because you can stop/re-start whenever you like…I also highly recommend the Shanghainese Restaurant in the basement of the Novotel Century Hotel in WanChai – it’s been around for 20 years I think – reasonable prices and great food!

Spring Deer on Mody Road continues to be a favorite restaurant. I also like to go to the 'Spaghetti House' which I think serves better fare than what I have back home. And TGI-Friday's is across the street. A treat.

When in Macau (we went for the day), try Fernando's Portugese resto. Amazing food, and reasonable prices, too!
Here's a footnote: The new Sands casino in Macau has a minimum table bet of HK$200 (approx. US$25.50). Too high! I suppose this is a technique to lure the gamblers into the slot machines.

Stayed at BP International House - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

Spent a weekend in HK with friends. It was a short trip, highlighted by a very pleasant day-trip to Repulse Bay and Stanley Market on the south side of HK island. Definitely a change of pace from the crowds of the city. We recommend eating lunch at the only outdoor restaurant/cafe in South Bay Beach in Repulse Bay. It's right on the sand and has a view of the entire bay. To get there, take the double-decker bus from Central, exit at the Repulse Bay Hotel, then take a taxi to the beach at the end of South Bay Rd. Afterwards, Stanley Market is just another short taxi ride away, and there you can find street vendors, waterfront pubs, and more great views of the ocean.
