Also strolled the streets opposite to the Confucious temple. Do you Want tasty food? Allow me to introduce my favorite local restaurant--- Acutually you did put the picture just right on your blog. See the "Blue Sea" tea shop? Right, it's just next to the back door of Mitsuikashi Dept. . 鍋太郎is located in the same street next to the tea shop. It cost $55-$60 for a meal. Outrageously inexpensive, I know. The "鍋太郎"--> Sounds like a name for Japanese food but it's not. They offer the best fried pork with curry as well as braised pork rice( I feel hungry now...) You must try it!!寶拉https://www.blogger.com/profile/16671884070198912542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-73126888472943447732007-05-23T18:22:00.000+08:002007-05-23T18:22:00.000+08:00Heartwarming.
