Sai Kung to Hang Hau MTR 15mins(car add ten for bus) Hang Hau to Quarry Bay 10 mins, Quarry Bay to Central about 12 mins

The biggest time problem is between Sai Kung and Hang Hau station.road works or an accident can cause major delays, but once on the mtr, it is fast,easy and stress free

don't know a lot about tong fuk, but it's on Lantau... and there lies the prob. No rail link, the best way is a ferry to Mui Wo and therein lies a problem during typhoon season. Road to Tung Chung to get a rail link.... from what I remember...is not for the fainthearted. Even then getting to central from Tung Chung will take about 40 mins on the express. I don't know the transit times for ferries, nor the times to get to Tung Chung, but I suspect the home to office trip would be well over 1 hour each way.
If you opted to drive the whole journey, it would be expensive (fuel and tolls. western harbour tunnel is not cheap) and to opt for the crossharbour tunnel (add 30mins and the bill for Valium + doctor's charges + stress +parking charges in Central)

I liked Lantau (to visit,) but would not haved lived there)

For my own pref., I would be looking at Clearwaterbay, Tsuen Kwan O, Po Lam, Silverstrand, Hang Hau area. The commute is far easier.
