Chinese buffet

Yesterday I went to a buffet with my family for my sister's birthday! We went to a buffet that had mainly Chinese, Japanese, and American food. I have been here about 5 times with my family. I love the pan-fried dumplings(pot-stickers), hot and sour soup, baby bok choy, steamed rice, white flavoured rice, vermicelli noodles with vegetables, garlic bread, and peppered chicken. I normally don't eat the American food here but I tried the garlic bread because I LOVE garlic bread. It tasted great. I used to eat Texas Toast when I was little. I loved it because I loved and I still love garlic bread. It tastes okay now but it is so greasy and the bread is so soaked. I wish it wasn't so greasy and artificial. The garlic bread at the buffet was a small thin roll with some parsley on top of it and it tasted like garlic bread. I think the garlic is inside the roll. I did eat some of the vegetable and meat dishes, and some fried rice. I don't like the peas in the fried rice but I ate them any ways. I didn't eat any lo mein this time because it is very oily and and the noodles are thick. I wish the food here was not so greasy(oily). I feel that the onions could have been cooked more because it tasted a little raw. I like caramelised onions. I don't eat the seafood(sushi, shrimp, crab, etc.), and American food(fries, nuggets, other fried food). I wish I took a second picture of my plate! It wasn't as full like my first. My second plate had white rice with drizzled hot and sour soup on top, more fried dumplings, two siu mais, one chicken teriyakki (for my sister), and more vermicelli noodles. My sister persuaded me to try some sushi and I did. I tried a normal one. One with cucumber, avocado, fish(?), and rice. I didn't like both of them. I dislike all kinds of sushi. I don't like the vinegar they add to the rice, I really dislike cucumber (and the smell too), the avocado, and the fish too. I tried a crab dumpling and it tasted weird. It tasted raw which I believe is the case. It was imitation crab meat, not real crab meat.
On one of my experiences here, I ate so much that I threw up in the parking lot...I think this place is a clean, friendly, and quiet place to eat a lot of food. I would give it a five but I don't because I choose to eat a limited selection of food here(I don't like sushi, seafood, a lot of the meat dishes here, and some of the fried foods).
Oysters, lo mein, baby bok choy, and pork fried rice

Asparagus, general tso chicken?, meat and onions, mushrooms, beef (?) and broccoli, and beef with onions.

Pork loin, some type of meat, corn, meat and vegetables, and some sauce (gravy?)

My first plate full of food. Shrimp with pepper and onion skewers, five pork dumplings, baby bok choys, pork fried rice, flavoured white rice underneath, mushrooms (white),  pepper chicken, some meat with onions, beef, chicken, pork, and vermicelli  noodles with some sauce and vegetables.

  1. Hi, Rosalie! I've stopped by after you visited my blog. And oh, you've made me hungrier than I already am, lol. I've not tried much Chinese food, but your pictures make it look good. :-D
