Yummy Crab!

I had dinner tonight at Macau Friends Restaurant in the Sunset District. It was my first time there and I never heard of this restaurant before. I was looking through their menu outside and one item looked interesting: "Portuguese Style Curry Crab $14.99". So I thought why not!

I was so surprised at what came out. It was a fairly large oval plate and the curry sauce was filled to the edge. I scooped some of the sauce onto my rice and boy it was yummy! I next went for the prize and got my hands and fingers ready to work out the crab meat. The crab was simply delicious! It was a fairly medium sized crab and I think well worth it for $14.99 plus tax and gratuity.

My wife next asked me if this was as good as Thanh Long's crabs. I forgot the cost but I'm sure it was nearly twice the price or more. I thought for a bit and sided with Macau Friends. Thanh Long may have three different ways of cooking the crabs but the crabs are a bit smaller and obviously more expensive. Looking back, I think the Thanh Long's prices aren't justified.

Interesting price fluctuations for Nokia E71 on Amazon

The last few weeks I have been researching a phone to replace my aging Motorola V3I because my front display and camera has gathered a lot of dust inside.

I decided on the Nokia E71. I remember a few years ago my friend had the previous version E61 and I liked the web browsing capability, so I thought I go with the next version. Then as I read the reviews on Amazon, I found out the phone has some trouble with T-Mobile's tzones WAP service.

I was still interested in following the price of the phone on Amazon. I remember it started out at 319.99. A few days ago or more it jumped to 339.99. I think it was just yesterday the price rocked up to 366 something. Finally today it jumped down to 320 even! These prices are for the black version. I haven't really followed the white version but it's now at 366 something.

In the meantime I'm still using my current phone. :)
