Well, my 20 days adventure have come to a close and I think I am still friends with Ms. K. There were no bloodshed or fights, so I think we are compatible to travel together again.
During the time that I am not sleeping off my jet lag, I have been unpacking and then I realized that most of my suitcases are packed with items for my husband. I guess I really missed him and I was compensating by shopping for him. I bought 8 ties, custom made 4 shirts with french cuffs, 3 pair of slacks, 4 belts, and one pair of patent leather dance shoes, 8 t shirts + plus lots of little knickknacks.
Ms. K had a list of all the eateries she wanted to try, I think we went to most of them. We had the best bake Pineapple Bun on Bute Street in Kowloon, the best Ham and Egg sandwich in Jordan MTR. We tried the 200 year old recipe for 'Swiss Chicken Wings' at Tai Ping Koon in Causeway Bay. We talked our way into Agnes B's new French Bistro for lunch at 111 Leighton Road. We learned to make Chinese steam sweet buns from a Chinese Restaurant on the 10th floor of Time Square - the chef will show you how to roll the dough and fill in the filling and then when you meal is done, the waiter will serve you the buns you made.
We went to our usual place for shopping (NA and European Exporters and Wholesalers) This time we found a new wholesale place in Causeway bay that sells to Joyce and bigger shops.
We didn't have time for museums this trip but we did tour the Central library looking for computer stations. This library is the most quiet library I have ever been, it was pristine and clean. Every floor with the exception of the Children's floor have about 30 computers for you to use. The Children's floor only allow kids to use their computers.
We also register to attend some of the trade shows. We went to Global Sources trade show for Fashion Accessories, which is about the size of 2 of Vancouver Convention Centre. The Electronics Show Next door which we stopped by has 4000 booths and about 6 times the size of Vancouver Convention Centre. The transport to the show was very well done. There were tour bus size shuttles that will take you there every 30 minutes from 10 points all around Hong Kong.
... sorry, jet lag catching up with me now... must sleep... will add more later.

I've got a couple of suggestions to add to your list.
