Any place where I can buy HK style milk tea in bulk?

I'm hopeless addicted to that thing and just want to chug it on demand at home. Is there anywhere, preferably island side, that sells it in bulk? Could be in liquid or powder form.

Where to Buy a Dual SIM iPhone in Hong Kong?

Hey all,

I’m looking for some advice on where to buy a dual SIM iPhone in Hong Kong at a reasonable price. Here’s my situation:

I live in Europe, but I regularly visit Hong Kong and China since my in-laws are there. The online eSIM plans for China and Hong Kong are quite pricey compared to local plans, so I’ve opted for a local Chinese SIM and sometimes buy minutes/data for Hong Kong when needed.

I’d like to simplify things by getting an iPhone with dual SIM capabilities. Since I also need eSIM functionality for Europe, a Chinese iPhone isn’t an option. I’ve checked out some shops in Hong Kong, like the local Apple store, Broadway, and a few others. However, I’m open to other reliable options where locals get iPhones at decent prices, even second-hand stores, as long as I can verify authenticity.

Any recommendations on where I can find a good deal on an iPhone in Hong Kong? I’m not too concerned about warranty since I live in Europe anyway.

Thanks in advance!

Searching for a Hong Kong movie

Hello. I'm looking for a Hong Kong movie I watched as a kid. It's somewhat of a love story related to paper origami takekoputa. I was watching some HK films and that scene suddenly popped up in my head, but I can never recall which film it is...

In the scene, plenty of paper takekoputa flies out the window, and the actress is amazed and tries to catch it. The setting is between the end of the 90s to Y2K. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks!

Looking for heavy board game meetup

Hi. I'm traveling through HK and I'm looking for an open play boardgame cafe or store that has a weekly meetup with some heavier or heavy-ish gamers.

Things such as Ark nova, Brass, Age of steam, Wingspan etc.

Does anyone know for this weekend or during the week? Thank you

I don't mind paying for table time, I'm just having trouble with the results on Meetup.com which is where I checked first.

Self transfer through HKG to TFU

Hi! I'm looking at starting and ending a trip in Hong Kong, however, I would need to go to Chengdu immediately upon arrival. Is the following possible on two separate tickets:

SEA --> HKG (land in HKG at 9:10am)

HKG --> TFU (flight leaves at 6:10pm)

Would it be possible to do this as a self-transfer (not purchasing a multi-city plane ticket)? Is there anything I need to be aware of with this?

Travelling to Hong Kong

Hi, my wife and I will be in Hong Kong for 3 days.

I’ve been to Hong Kong in 2018 and I loved it so I want to show my wife how beautiful your country is.

Planning at the moment and have a few questions:

  1. Does all of your shops accept apple pay or do we need to bring cash?
  2. Can we use apple pay to pay for MTR or do we still need octopus card (if I remember it correctly that was it was called)
  3. Are there any good guided buddhist meditation in English around Tsim Tsa Tsui?

TIA

18 hours in Hong Kong layover

Hi there! I will have an 18 hour layover in Hong Kong on way back from Indonesia. Booked a hotel close to the airport. Will be arriving at 9pm and probably will head to the hotel to sleep. Is there any abbreviated recommendations for the next morning until about 1pm before I have to head back to the airport? Would love to see a bit and grab a bite if you think it's possible. I will be solo female. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks so much!

Heavy Police Presence in WanChai for Halloween?

I'm told that there is an unusually heavy police presence in WanChai tonight. Is there something that triggered it? Are they only targeting Wanchai? Similar heavy presence in other areas (LKF, etc)?

Best places to shop for used GPUs? (Preferably in person)

Also, are there any electronic recycling centers that let you go through their stuff and buy anything for cheap? Saw some videos on YouTube where people do that and was wondering if there are any known places for that in Hong Kong.

Jupiter and Orion tonight in Hong Kong.

I miss dark skies, but it's nice to be able to see these two in HK welcoming the winter. Can even see Pleides tonight too.

To the mod, I just took this picture.
