set lunch

I had a set lunch in a Japanese restaurant inside a state guest house complex today.  Take a look.  Total authentic Japanese grilled cod fish lunch set.  I had a big bowl of rice,  a big piece of fish, miso soup w/ tofu and sea weeds, stew beef, salad and some black beans. O yeah, a nice big bottle of hot sake to warm my body… snow/rain here in Shanghai, 0C….  The cost of the lunch was RMB 95.00 (USD15.00).  Here, no tips required.  

I bought mom lunch in M@c@u two days ago at one Centr@l's Jap'nese restaurant.  Two of us.  Mom had grilled cod fish w/ rice.  Just a pice of grilled cod fish on top of a bowl of rice.  Waited 20 minutes for it.  It was MOP 250.00 (USD 32.00).  I had a bowl of soup rice.  We shared a plate of fried oysters.  The total bill came to …. ready for this?   MOP 1,400 (USD180.00).  It came with a small bottle of sake. 

Think of the price diff?  A bit ridiculous….. It's like burning money in south of my town these days…..
