If your salary does not include a housing allowance, 15000HKD isn't much for a family of four to live on - in fact almost all your salary will go on rent! Take a look at the Expat Arrivals Cost of Living in Hong Kong page for more information about the price of accommodation and food in Hong Kong. I would suggest negotiating with your employer ofr an additional housing allowance.
The good news is tax in Hong Kong is famously low. See Banking and Taxes in Hong Kong for more information.
