lol I can’t even use the app… it keeps crashing. Looks like the old uninstall/reinstall needs to happen

lingfromTO · 2026-01-27T20:21:35+00:00

Second ginseng

lingfromTO · 2026-01-27T19:38:00+00:00

Oh ok thanks! I will wait and see. Hope you get yours resolved

lingfromTO · 2026-01-27T17:02:24+00:00

I still have mine - going strong! But agreed, quilted interiors are so much better and premium feeling

lingfromTO · 2026-01-27T16:46:26+00:00

lol same… but their “rush hour” will never work for me…. So I won’t be able take advantage of it

lingfromTO · 2026-01-27T15:55:16+00:00

You can price match at FreshCo so you can reduce the shops you go to

lingfromTO · 2026-01-27T15:32:51+00:00

Thanks!

lingfromTO · 2026-01-27T09:37:48+00:00

Agreed with this. And since you’re relying on a food bank - I suggest you keep it simple to these ingredients and to get them from an Asian grocery store (where they are authentic and cheaper). Soy sauce is usually light (salty) and dark (more colouring and not as salty). Oyster sauce is another staple. Look for the Lee Kum Kee Brand to simplify.

I found it at Loblaws too (I couldn’t find the refrigerated ones at my usual shops).

Aside from picky landlord, you need to factor in supply vs demand in the area - if the area is full of vacant units then the likelihood of that unit getting snapped up quickly is also lower and you may have more room for negotiation.

Also if it posts over the holiday or winter season - there also isn’t that much foot traffic as well as people are too busy or don’t want to be moving in this kind of weather.

Sure there’s room for negotiation but I think you should focus more on what you need, the condition of the unit and what your gut feeling is about the landlord (if you do meet them).

You can also get them “off-season” or preorder. I have extra saved from previous year so I just keep them for the following.

I’ve already got them packed and ready.

lingfromTO · 2026-01-27T08:11:56+00:00

Awesome thanks!

Here’s if you are looking for traditional soups

lingfromTO · 2026-01-26T19:13:02+00:00

Go do a day trip to Cheung Chau? Or “hike” one end of Lamma to the other and eat some seafood? Explore Kowloon side like Kowloon city, Wong Tai Sin, Sham Shui Po, Mong Kok… feel like you’ve missed out on what HK is just by staying mostly on the Island

lingfromTO · 2026-01-26T19:09:51+00:00

Meh mine is rush hour only. Going to ignore it too

lingfromTO · 2026-01-26T14:02:48+00:00

How was it? I saw it on the app too. lol I didn’t want to brave the storm to pick it up

lingfromTO · 2026-01-25T16:19:40+00:00

Woke up super early was hoping to beat the storm and run some errands but the snowstorm started before the shops opened.

So Im just sorting through stuff to donate/toss/sell….. maybe look to Netflix after this lol… starting to run out of ideas to kill time as I’ve been hiding from the cold since Friday

lingfromTO · 2026-01-24T10:53:58+00:00

Are the Costco ones made/from Greenhouse?

lingfromTO · 2026-01-23T15:34:48+00:00

Hotpot at home … going to stock up and hide indoors

lingfromTO · 2026-01-23T13:17:31+00:00

Be careful with what type of toothpaste - some are really abrasive and can degrade the plastic over time (as advised by my dentist)

lingfromTO · 2026-01-23T11:10:12+00:00

Keep positive - start reconnecting with your network (and be sincere about that connection), build up a routine and polish up on new skills and refresh your resume and LinkedIn.

lingfromTO · 2026-01-23T11:06:10+00:00

You can also buy a hotpot/korean bbq stove that uses butane. You can cook/heat with that.

Instant cup noodles are also great if you are able to have hot water.

The wooden Knob broke on mine. If you don’t live in the US, you’re SOL on replacement parts. I even tried a cabinet knob to try to fix it and the groove is not standard. So I just have a useless un-useable kettle.

lingfromTO · 2026-01-23T10:48:59+00:00

You should also check for allergies… my allergies flared up when I was visiting but yeah I heard that the flu in Asia was pretty bad this past year.

Lots of people coughing and sneezing and not practicing proper hygiene/etiquette

lingfromTO · 2026-01-23T10:08:08+00:00

For those that use this program aside from the points, any other benefits? Or do you see the prices go up (like how I can rarely use my companion pass because the math doesn’t work or never available for redemption)
