Summary
An Australian couple on vacation in Bali ordered two wagyu steaks, thinking they cost $30 each, but ended up paying $300 each due to a math error. The couple, who shared their experience on TikTok, said they were used to being served a huge piece of steak, but the restaurant served them small chunks of meat. They admitted to being distracted by the hibachi experience and not noticing the prices on the menu.
