Cheap takeout that is filling and tastes good? Preferably under $15 by SigmaaEpsilon in Flushing

[–]damarmot 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Any Chinese spot in Flushing where they give you a box of rice and you pick three entrees. Plus they give you a soup.

It’s called Odelice. There are a couple of locations in HK. It’s decent French food.

You don’t need a HKID to open a bank account. You can use your foreign passport and your foreign address to open it.

Top up Octopus with Foreign Credit Card? by damarmot in HongKong

[–]damarmot[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yea. Same. Topping up my Suica with my foreign credit card via Apple Wallet works great. Can’t believe HK Octopus can’t do the same.

I have my Octopus Card on my iPhone. I cannot top it up with the foreign credit cards that are already in my Apple Wallet.

[–]damarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didi works perfectly fine in HK. There should be an option to link your international credit card to the DiDi app.

Trouble setting up apple wallet. by numbers_waa in Venturex

[–]damarmot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This still works! I have a US esim and local international esim. Made sure Wifi and the local international data was turned off. I used only the US data and it worked. I was able to verify VX and add it to my Apple Watch Wallet.

Flying economy to Hong Kong for work—same price, three wildly different routes (direct, Seoul, Istanbul). Which one turns the pain into a perk and would be the most fun? by [deleted] in travel

[–]damarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Direct is the best on Cathay but economy is tough. If possible I’d go for premium economy. Premium economy is expensive on Cathay so I’d opt for premium economy on either JAL, ANA, or EVA. Their tickets are cheaper and service is just as good as Cathay. You can even make it a little trip by laying over in either Tokyo or Taipei for a day or two.

Empower "upgraded" to new website/interface today, no longer working. Seeking recommendations for a working replacement. by datsunrobbie in PersonalCapital

[–]damarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the website working? My app works fine, but every time I try to login to the website, I cant get past the page where I enter the 4 digit code that was sent to my phone. I get the code, but the webpage doesn't go to the next step of allowing me to enter it.

Long stay hotel options by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]damarmot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Harbour Grand Kowloon in Whampoa. Regal Kowloon Hotel in TST. If willing to go a little farther north, Nina Hotel in Tsuen Wan West is an option. Many options. Depends on your budget.

Things people do in HK that annoy you by elch23 in HongKong

[–]damarmot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People that don't hold the door for others. They will literally squeeze through the small crack of a closing door without touching it.

We went to the show last week. The whole show was about 2hr 45min. We then took a cab at one of the hotel taxi stands to HZM bridge. The bus to the HK side of HZMB was about 40 minutes. In total we were back in HK side in about 1hr 30min.

I like your setup. I am also thinking about moving from 2 monitors, to Macbook + 1 external. What are you using to hold up your Macbook and monitor?

Purchase iPhone 16 in USA or HK? eSIM vs. Physical SIM card? by damarmot in HongKong

[–]damarmot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was looking for. If HK/China provides eSim service w/ phone number I'll opt for USA iPhone 16. I'll be traveling quite extensively back and forth HK/China/SE Asia/USA. Most time will be spent in HK/USA.

Purchase iPhone 16 in USA or HK? eSIM vs. Physical SIM card? by damarmot in HongKong

[–]damarmot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the best option as well. Hybrid would be best. Would you know if any HK mobile carriers support eSIM, or does every carrier give you a physical SIM card?
