Our manager will buy me a buffet tomorrow, and I search the buffet on the net and defined as a system of serving meals in which food is placed in a public area and dinners generally serve themselves. Buffet is very popular in English-Speaking country world, and spead into other contry very soon.

The Chinese buffet is surely different with the buffet in US, and An Indian buffet in Australia is definitely different from the ones in local. How do you like buffet? Have you ever tried different ways of buffet and what's differece?

When you get into a buffet hotel or restaurnt, what you eat most? Will you choose the most expensive to eat or your favorite to eat?

I do NOT like buffets. I don't like them because you have no idea how many people touched the serving spoon before you. That means your touching germs from sneezing, coughing, snot, boogers, urine and fecal matter from people not washing their hands. I avoid buffets like the plague. I'm shocked that buffets are so popular.

Oh, My God, I am a little scared of tomorrow's buffet, and you must only like your own cooking only uh. But I buy that the senior hotel will have the enough disinfect measurement for serving dinnerware, right? We can not avoid to eat in the hotle or restaurent, right? How would you deal with it if you come accross? Oh, I have a good idea that you can have your home-made buffet, lol..

Those same people also touched the handles on the doors going into the restaurant. If you're concerned about the serving spoons you could wash your hands after you get your food but before you eat it. Or stick to food that you don't pick up with your fingers.

I like buffets and we have many of them here in Florida where I live. There is an American home-style buffet that my husband and I enjoy going to but our favorites are the seafood ones. I also like Chinese and Japanese buffets. When I go to one I usually eat what I like the most and don't think about the cost. For instance, I prefer chicken to prime rib and, while my husband likes the prime rib more and gets that, I almost always get chicken.

Wow, your words make my mouth water..For me, I will get directly to the food I like, for example salad, icecream and my friends always commented on the food I take," you should take the expensive food, saying the seafood oyster, otherwise it may not worth it if you spend almost 68 RMB on the buffet"..Hehe~~I have never tried the Japanese buffet and US one, hope that I can have the chance to take it someday...LOL


myLot reputation of 79/100. spalladino (9048)   ranked 78 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  4 months ago

When we first started going to buffet style restaurants the goal was to "get our money's worth" and so we would over eat and not feel very well once we left. But, we got out of that habit. I don't think the goal should be to eat with money in mind but, rather, to enjoy yourself and eat as much of whatever you like.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sasalove (444)   ranked 122 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Hi Spalladino,

We aways can not control ourselves when we happened to the delicious food we expected.Always stomach is empty in, but fully out, particularly for those food we seldom take in the routine life. But If I take the buffet once a week, I am swear not to make my stomach round..hehe...

I absolutely adore buffets because you can whatever you want there, and just eat one thing in large quantities. I happen to like a lot of expensive foods anyway, so eating my favorite food normally equates to eating the most expensive food there.:) No point in forking out all the cash for an all-you-can-eat if you don't take advantage of it and eat expensive stuff, right?


myLot reputation of 97/100. sasalove (444)   ranked 122 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Yeah, most of people will act like that, and why the buffet canteen can earn a lot from us, we can not pack the food out, even a banana..hehe...We will eat all we can eat in the canteen and hope that the food we eat will worth the money we pay...

i like buffet style of serving meals in restaurants. u have the liberty to go back to the buffet table if u still feel like eating. u have the liberty to choose the food u want to eat and there is a lot to choose from.

also, it does not take long for me to wait for my food to arrive at my table unlike when u wait for ur ordered meal.

i almost always try to taste a little of everything of the food served so that i will know which ones are delicious and which should be good for a second serving. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. sasalove (444)   ranked 122 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Yeah, I agree, buffet is popular for this speed and liberty, we can pick up the food whenever we prepfer to take, we can taste all variety food available only if the it doesn't disturb our stomach..LOL..

I do enjoy eating at a buffet. I like to visit any kind of buffet. Generally, I just like to eat whatever favorite food I like to eat there. Sometimes I do like to experiment and try a new food I have never eaten before.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sasalove (444)   ranked 122 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  4 months ago

We can try different taste in different buffet canteen. You will have sharp tough when you try the variety of food, hehe...I also like to try the new things only if I am not the first guy who eats the first crab...

Speaking of buffets, we are going to have one right now. I don't usually eat in buffet restaurants, but I'm really looking forward to this one because I would be eating for free. happy It's not every day that I get a free meal you know. And this buffet is kind of expensive, so I feel really glad that I would have a chance to experience it. drool


myLot reputation of 97/100. sasalove (444)   ranked 122 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Hi Angelajoy,

Enjoy your beffet then...I am so expecting of mine by tomorrow.. Hehe~~

I generally enjoy buffets, but most of the time when I do go for one, I tend to overeat to make it worth the money:P Hence, I try not to go for too many since it would be really unhealthy. As for the choice of food to eat, I mostly try and taste a bit of everything they have, and then go for the ones that I find most to my liking.

I'm not sure how the buffets in other countries, but from what I understand it should only refer to the type of food served in the buffet.

I really love buffet. I think the idea of having is like having an all you can eat meal. I think that it is the best way of serving food. As long as the food serve are delicious I don't really mind. I don't realize that buffet is used differently in different counties, From what I have known A buffet is like having an all you can eat in one table and you just pick up what you would like to eat. I really depends upon the place on where the buffet is held. I like to eat different kind of dishes and as long as it is still clean then I'll be able to eat and taste the food. I really admire food and I think that food are the very basic needs of man. Have fun eating buffet.

Buffet is the best!!! You can eat whatever you want and enjoy the different kind of exotic dishes. Here in my country the buffet are quite cheap and one is satisfied with everything in the end. In fact during the weekend almost all restaurants and hotels offer buffet for local people and tourists as well.
