[shanghaibb]

donkeymami
yes, it's really tender!

but I find a bit oily... or maybe its juicy???
I'm not a beef person, so I cant really say much.

 

[mashybrainz]

Piggy

Chinatown. He works nearby. We usually prepare everything in cash including hotel accomodation. So if not enough will 'steal' from hotel budget then pay hotel via credit card.

 

[mashybrainz]

For budgeting, I allocate 500y for bf, 1000y for lunch and 1500y for dinner per adult. Haha, your friend's 3400y is more than my one day budget for meals.

 

[mashybrainz]

Kikilala

will try the cow's tongue in Sendai though.

 

[mashybrainz]
