Eat local food before you can never eat it anymore. Rent is insane ($400,000HKD or more monthly) for local small business, and if Michelin slaps a 1 star label on it, the greedy landlords will raise the rent by 70% (one example). There was a Vietnamese place in CWB that sold 'butter chicken wings' (kinda like Phnom Penh ones) and has been around for 38 years but recently had to close down because of the rent increase. Small businesses eventually won't survive as the years go by and you'll never have those local flavours ever again if it goes extinct.
Don't waste your time with overpriced 'Michelin' restaurants when you should be getting shit like
- Seafood (especially things like razor clams and mantis shrimp)
-Dai Pai Dong's
-Cha Chan Tengs
-Cart noodles
-Brisket or fish ball noodles
etc.
Worked in HK as a waiter before. Can confirm, did not see any of that service charge.
