Took a fairly good look at most Palm, Clie, and iPaq’s this afternoon. None seems to do what I want them to do without having purchased another HKD$2K-$4K worth of accessaries or without making it literally butt ugly! The Tungsten W came close, but it does not support Chinese at all.

So many times have I heard about people saying how good the crab legs are at this Japanese restaurant in the Ocean Terminal LCX complex. Everyone said “魚人一丁” is good. Lots of people in a line-up waiting to get in.
I just happened be shopping with Melinda and Alec in the area this evening, so I decided to give it a try. We waited about 20 minutes to get in. During that time, I realized that there is actually no “人” in the restaurant name. In fact, there is actually no “魚” in the name either. The actual name is just Iccho - “一丁”. The “魚” there simply means they serve sushi there; and the hat “^” there means house - “ya” of “umuya”, a place that serve alcohol.
I decided to skip the crab legs and ordered other food instead. Never mind the other food that I have order, which were all pretty good BTW, but one must try the Tamago - steam egg; but I have to admit, I love Tamago, so I might be biased here.
Don’t order any Agemono - deep fried food. I don’t think any local Japanese restaurant could make good Agemono. I didn’t like the looks of them from the other tables, so…. But I saw just about all everyone else ordered some sort of Agemono. Didn’t see any Tempura there though, so I don’t know how good they are.
Sashimi were very good. They also had Aji - fly fish on the menu for $70, but they were out of stock. The waiter said the air shipment will arrive tomorrow. That would have been a steal if it were any good, considering a live Aji could run anywhere from HKD$200-$350 at other reputable Japanese restaurants.
Service were a little slow from the lack of staff; however all waiters, waitresses, and hostess were very pleasant.
All-in-all, this is one of the very few restaurants in town I’d recommend, especially it is a Japanese restaurant.
When I first got the Fujitsu P5010 with Windows XP, for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why the icon text background color wasn’t transparent when a wallpaper is loaded in the background like my desktop computer is. There is always a rectangular piece set with the desktop backgound color stuck between the icon text and the wallpaper. I have asked many friends but no one seems to be able to figure out a solution.
As Tin always puts it, Google came to the rescue. I found this solution, and the problem is solved.
WhaUSay?!
