Sorry, my Cantonese is terrible, I don't have a hope of finding such a text. But are you really saying that books and articles written in Hong Kong for Hong Kong readers still write in Mandarin?

There are only two writing systems of Chinese: Traditional and Simplified, and the difference between them is just some characters of the simplified system are chosen from the traditional form and standardized.
Cantonese is a "regional dialect", and Mandarin is an "official dialect" , there never exists Cantonese of Mandarin writing form.
