The Big Mac Index
The Big Mac has been used to compare currencies since The Economist started doing it in 1986. Divide one country's price by another's and you get the exchange rate those two prices imply; the distance from the real rate is the finding.

Hong Kong runs about 10% above the all-market average in our price index, and the reason is rent. This is one of the most expensive retail property markets in the world, and a restaurant's price list is partly a lease.
The menu is among the most localised McDonald's boards we track. Breakfast is built around noodle sets and macaroni soup rather than muffins, and rice appears throughout the day.
Hong Kong is also the cheapest market we track for the Filet-O-Fish at about $1.78 - A striking exception in an otherwise expensive market.
