oh HK! I love it!! I went there almost 2 years ago..
For Dim Sum, you can go to London Restaurant along Nathan Rd. It's near to Mongkok station. That time 4 of us went there for breakfast and only spent HKD75. Nice and cheap
For shopping.. I recommend to start from "Fa Yuen Street" and walk all the way down to "Woman Street". Coz i realised the things they sell are similar and things at "fa yuen street" were much cheaper. So things you cant find there, you can walk down to woman street. At woman street, be ready to slash the price more than half. They really mark up by quite abit.. That time i went it was raining and no ppl, hence they really cut alot (more than 50%) for me..
There's a Esprit warehouse too.. near Tsim Sha Tsui station.. I only rem it's near to HMV or Kowloon Hotel.. can go check it out.. I spent alot there.. heh..
There's other nice places to shop too.. like temple street.. causeway bay etcetc... cant really rem le thou..
Hope to go there soon, but im going vietnam first... heh...

At night, you can also go to the victoria peak and the avenue of starts.

Cant wait to go there again... !

I've just been to Hong Kong last August! Love the food at Tang Chao.. Excellent!
There is a Uniqlo at Habour City which is the largest shopping centre in HK. It's really super big!!! But the things sold there are v expensive. Pretty much the same as S'pore. I visited H&M in Mongkok and I found it okay..
I stayed at Nathan Hotel and it's really great!!!!!!!! The beds, toilets, room size are all excellent.. Room service is great too.. It's just renovated and we were given the room at the top most level! Highly recommended!!! Perhaps the only downside may be that it's located at Jordan, not Tsim Sha Tsui which is the heart of HK shopping.. But I believe the hotel rooms at Jordan are much bigger than the ones at TST.
There is a Wholesale Outlet Shop at Jordan that says really cheap SKII and other cosmetics! The prices are really really low.. Even much lower than prices u can find at Bestbuy-world. So do visit!
There is an Espirit Outlet at TST.. The prices are v cheap for Espirit clothes.. And our tourguide told us the fashion in HK is always 1 season faster than Spore..
Oh.. The quality of clothes sold at Argyle Centre is really lousy. So if you are making a trip dere, I recommend u just buy the bags and accesseries.
Yupps:)
