I have worked with several client organisations who use SEA based outsourcing companies. The main reason for their choice is the lower costs compared to using companies with staff based in Western Europe and USA.
So if you are already working for an outsourcing company that has clients in the USA, then you are most likely working for one of the more respected companies and thus probably earning near the upper end of the scale for your location. I doubt that your management will want to pay you more than they have to, no matter how good you are.
I am assuming that you mean USD100,000 p.a. not HKD. For that level of salary you will probably need to travel to countries where they do pay that much for your level of expertise. As @Annatar suggests, 5 years experience with web software, you probably won't be able to call yourself a senior SE in some markets.
