I forgot to mention yesterdays linner (late lunch/early dinner) - our local Asian restaurant had a grand opening yesterday for their Asian Buffet.
DH really wanted to go and check it out ... I thought that he was crazy! "Brand new braddah! We usually let them shake it out for a coupla months ..."
NOPE!
He wanted to go, "if we walk in and we look around, we don't like it, we leave, simple..."
OKAY
WOW!! I mean
WOW!
Really good, nice selection of dishes, great service, everything was kept well stocked, drinks that were included kept flowing, loads of people but not overwhelmingly so.
I asked DH, "how many covers do you think they'll do?"
During our short linner (maybe 45 minutes, tops), I'd say they turned a good 10 tables.
By the time we left, there was a line, going out the door, to be seated
No pictures this time because it was crowded, I don't like to have "people" in my food photos.
My one disappointment was one dish was tagged "Char Siu or Chinese BBQ Pork Bao" - NOPE! It was custard inside, but good all the same. They had a Red Bean Bao as well, very good bun!
DH was a bit grumpy and so I asked him why ... "that's not what I expected. The Sushi is junk."
But look at everything else! "HERE! Let me get you a plate".
NOM NOM NOM
He doesn't look around first to "scoop it out" at a buffet, but then, well, it's been a long time since anyone has offered Buffet ... ya know, since the World turned sideways on it's axis.
I told my Mother about it today and now she's all hot-to-trot to go there too
