There is more to HK/Cantonese Chinese food than just those three items. You can do research on the internet on HK food and see what you might like and their names in HK English.

HK shopping is not what it used to be due to pricing. Everything that you can get in HK now is cheaper and with full warranty in the US.

The cost of ferry ride for one way to Maccau is $164 economy and $326 superclass per person? Not cheap for 55 min ride.
It is cheap considering the distance covered in that time span. This is not meant to be a scenic boat ride. You can do a "chopper" ride in 7 minutes for $5,000HK.

...
Weather wise Jan/Feb is the best time.
Just a note to pay attention to Chinese New Year period where there is additional shopping tourist from China overrunning the city. HK locals usually travel during CNY as well.
The week after new years eve/day is holiday for many.
Feb 8 in 2016

Best to plan your arrival and departure away from the beginning and end of this holiday period.
