If that is true, then sky's the limit!
Definitely go for tea at The Peninsula (TST). that's kind of neat. Then hop the ferry and go to Central and walk around Lam Kwai Fong (during the day, early evening there are lots of restaurants and cafes to check out. From Tibetan to Ecuadorean Eurasian fusion etc. At night, it's club life.
A good day trip: Go to Stanley - Fresh seafood and cool market bazaars. It's more of an "off the beaten path" type of thing.
I like to go to the Peak and either eat at Cafe Deco or whatever else they have there now and watch the fog roll in during the early evening. Then the city lights come on and it's an amazing view.
oops, I'm writing too much here. I can go one forever. Let me knwo if ther's anything more specific.
Take care.
Cheers.

1. Adequate funds - No, just the Airplane tix has subsidized my splurge.
2. High end taste - It was on my first HKG trip, I was introduced to Chinese Huate cuisine - Wow.
I've done the initial standard touristy thing, including Stanley market+Peak etc. I'm looking for more - Things not found in guidebooks
Thanks
