in shanghai, there’s a tonkatsu place located behind jing’an temple. i am part of this lunch group that meets on a semi-regular basis to, well, eat. on wednesday of this week we went to this tonkatsu place.

Bang Qi Pork Chop
??????176?(?????)
Jing an district, Jiao Zhou Road No. 176, Near Beijing West Road

they served about 10 different types of tonkatsu, depending on if you liked curry, or lean or more fatty. i chose the curry.
