$ For the fast and furious HK experience! Among the locals it's more famous for its ultra-fast service and long lines (moves fast), than its food. If you're going, try the steamed almond milk + egg yolk 燉蛋 or steamed milk + egg white pudding 燉奶.

Sightseeing
Iconic view of HK skyline. Peak Tram is touristy and nothing to see $45/pax return. Take a taxi if you're more than 2 people instead of the Peak Tram. Taxi is $50-60 from Central Pier, one way.
Budget tip: take the bus, but takes a longer time. Bus 15, $9.8 from Central Pier.

Old street vibes away from the main Hong Kong attractions. Great for seafood, if you've been to HK too many times, or like Taiwanese old streets -- this is something similar
