I'll be in Hong Kong for two nights in late July. I'm a bit of a foodie and usually like to splurge a little on a few nights for dinner. Since this is a 2.5 week trip I've had to cut some of that out.

Anyways, I have two options. I can budget $20-$30 for dinner each night or maybe get some street food/cheap eats one night and splurge the next. Any specific places you all recommend? My hotel's in Mongkok but obviously I have no issue going out of my way (within reason of course). I'd like to keep it fairly authentic so no Italian or French restaurants if at all possible.
