If you want to go to The Peak, Tsim Tsa Tsui or Mong Kok, just use 30-45 minutes to the destination. You can have a better travel route so that you wont waste the time for the transportation.
I am a Hong Kong local people. If you have some questions on the hotel, transportation, or place to visit, just tell me.
That place is way too far out IMO (to put things in perspective, we are complaining about Sheungwan being inconvenient here; "Kowloon East" raises that bar to a new level). I still think that her original list (in the OP) is pretty solid.
