sorry sushi is a no no in HK. Same goes to oysters. I mean for $1 - $1.5 happy hour at Joe Fortes for example, it's IMPOSSIBLE to beat. You can't get anything like that in HK.
1) Seafood; take a drive to Sai Kung 西貢
Don't go during the weekend, you'll just get raped. Go during weeknights; and just pick and choose what you like. Make it the way you like.
熟椒鹽鮑魚 (abalone)
, 蟶子 (razor clams)
, pissing shrimp (get it whole, non-chopped out)
OR go to Temple Street; down the middle there are TONS of deep fried street food; grab a table and it's just freaking amazing. Point at the picutres and you're good to go.
2) buffet at HK are the best. WHY? In North America, well know chef opens their own place, in HK, they are all hired INTO hotels.
The BEST one i have been to: The Market. located at Level 2, Hotel Icon, 17 Scien Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East
king crab, spanish ham, durian ice cream, pk duck wrap, free glass of champagne for brunch AND great service. $500 HKD per head
3) 深水埗 Sham Shui Po for snake soup etc.. Hong Kong, 深水埗鴨寮街170號
Shia Wong Hip is really famous for their snakes.
4) Drinks at LKF
Jerry Maguire Cocktails & Desserts.
or Bitters and Sweets for drinks also at LKF
From HK, been back 20+ times and I just can't tell you which is famous for what, HK is just famous of variety of unique restaurants.
If you do want to know what's famous well here are top 3
1) Famous dim sum that's 1 star = Tim Ho Wun (is it good? it's ok, but you don't get a chance to sit properly, and it's epic line up)
2) Famous breakfast with SHIT service = Australian Dairy Co. FAMOUS for shit service and you better know what you order as there's ONLY 1 thing. Zero fucks given when you order; you need 1 second to think, fuck you, I'm coming back for your order later.
famous scrabbled eggs with heavy cream.
3) 24/7 type food at LKF similar to #9 in Vancouver = 翠華餐廳.
famous bun; butter + condense milk
