HKG does not have passport stamp anymore. It's a small piece of paper for a while. And even if you ask, they won't stamp.

Q 2: Can the visitor request stamping on his/her travel document so as to keep the travel record?

A 2: Upon implementation of non-stamping immigration clearance arrangement, the immigration counter officers will not stamp on the visitors’ travel documents. If the visitor needs to refer to his/her travel record, he/she may submit an “Application for a Statement of Travel Records” to the Records Centre of the Immigration Department and pay the application fee.

But, 2.5 hours are usually enough to exit and re-enter, just no more stamps.
