1. Ocean Park – I enjoyed the cable car ride
2. Disneyland – I particularly liked the 3D show, Winnie the Pooh, River Adventure, Lion King, Golden Mickeys, and, of course, the fireworks


3. Victoria Peak and The Peak Tram – Try The Peak resto at least once for its charming ambience

4. Madame Tussaud's - At least once, especially if you can't go to London for the original museum.
5. Avenue of the Stars – A nice walk and a splendid view of HK island

6. Symphony of Lights – This is best viewed at the viewing deck on Ocean Terminal but it's something you can skip
7. Lan Kwai Fong – the food alley nearby serves superb ethnic food. I particularly liked the Thai-Vietnamese offerings of Bon Appetit (no, it's not a French resto)
8. Mongkok market - I'm not big on tiangge shopping but, if you are, this is the place to go

9. Maxim’s Palace's crispy fried chicken and dim sum - It's a 10-minute (15 if you don't know your way) walk from the MTR's Central station. The crisp chicken skin was worth it. A little pricey, however.

10. Ferry ride - the best view is approaching HK island.

11. Open-topped double-decker bus - The kids love this, especially if you do at night when all the lights are on.
12. Ruth’s Chris steak - Why not, especially if it's your birthday.
13. Makumba bar - For a bit of dancing, jamming, African culture in HK island.
14. Science Museum - A must, especially if you have kids with you
Things I'd like to do next time:
1. Go to Stanley market
2. Go to Soho
3. Ride a Chinese junk
4. Celebrate full moon at the beach with the Pinoy tambolistas
