Hello Yeung PK,
I think you might have made a mistake in identifying this specimen. In my honest opinion this isn't the Honk Kong cascade frog but the Asian common toad or Black-spectacled toad. For example you can distinguish the black markings along the crests and outlining the parotoid glands behind its eyes.
