I am actually answering my own question here. I was able to apply for the HKID card & HKSAR Passport here in the U.S. (Chinese Consulate in New York). You just need to fill out a few form & provide supporting documents. It took them approximately 2 months for the entire process. Thumbs up for the HK Immigration Dept!!!!!

You can apply for your Registration of identity card when you are in HK. If you are a resident born in Hong Kong, you should produce your birth certificate, proof of identity (e.g. a valid travel document or passport) or latest school document (bearing photo authenticated by the school, e.g. student handbook or school record card) and previous identity card, if any.
When apply for a HK ID Card as a new arrival, you must produce your valid travel document, passport, entry permit, One-way Permit or affidavit showing your residential status in Hong Kong. Your parent's HK ID Cards and HK passorts are helpful if any. For more information, you can refer to http://www.gov.hk/en/residents/immigration/idcard/hkic/faq_hkic.htm
