I've been indulging in buffets recently..
And I've found out that to enjoy the buffet to the fullest,
you have to eat the right way!
=)
Now..
You may ask..
Isn't a buffet all about grabbing all the expensive food?!
I can only say.. NOPE!
You've paid an extensive sum of money and the thing to do is to savour all of the different varieties they have to offer..
Well.. If the only thing that you'll ever consume in a buffet is that few lobsters..

You've paid an extensive sum of money and the thing to do is to savour all of the different varieties they have to offer..
Well.. If the only thing that you'll ever consume in a buffet is that few lobsters..
( just simply cause you think it's the most worth it of all)..
Then you would be better off in a seafood restaurant..
-_-
Alright..
Let's get down to it..
Except for food which triggers your allergic senses, you should probably try everything..
And I mean everything..
( Includes small buns, cookies, nuts, and every bit of the spread..)
1. Go to a buffet with someone who shares the same mindset/ thinking as you do.
( It's difficult to dine with someone whom doesn't agree with you..)
2. Attack the meat and seafood first.
Consuming meat first helps stimulate your stomach into thinking that it is going to have a hell of a night digesting..
So basically.. It's faster..
3. Share the food.
Take small bite sizes of each and every food..
You only need to have a little taste of it..
4. Don't try to starve yourself before the meal.
It only makes your stomach smaller and it cannot contain much food..
Think of your stomach storage similar to a balloon..
If there is air inside, it expands..
Same goes with food..
However.. If you contract it to the smallest by starving it, then blow it huge by eating a lot..
It is absolutely going to get upset..
And not long after your meal, you would have wished you never ate that..
Dumb isn't it???
5. Right.. For the first round of the buffet, fill your plate with as many varieties as possible..
And remember to get the smallest portion too..
Remember to separate the different ethnic flavours of your food..
You don't want to mix Indian food with Italian food, do you??
Ugh~
-_-
6. Make decisions.
Decide which is nice and which aren't..
Cross them off your list..
You will not want to take them again..
7. When you're ready, go for your second round.
You should only pick those that you think are worth it and nice from your selection above..
The selection should be considerably lesser than the first round..
8. After round 2, please take a break.
Offer your stomach some rest..
It has been accepting so much food..
And its probably the time to let it digest a little..
9. Oh.. And make sure you allocate enough time for a buffet meal.
Preferably around 3 to 4 hours..
You don't wanna waste your money rushing through a meal without enjoying it..
10. Chat and talk with your family and friends.
After all, some interaction is needed or it will be super damn boring..
11. A HA!!! Now it's time for your third round!
Now try filling this round with only the top, superb, yummy, juicy, best food of the buffet..
You've picked the greatest..
Now is the time to savour the best of it!
Ahhhhh~~~
Heavenly~~~
12. Okay~ Now after this third round, you should be getting to around 75%- 80% full..
Right now, your stomach is grinding heavily..
And you should also be getting slightly sleepy..
If you're a super huge eater, you may go for your fouth and even fifth round now..
And as for those who are 3/4 full, feel free to walk around, grab some snacks, go to the washroom, do anything you like!!!
It's free style time~
Yeah~
13. Burppp...
Now lets assume you're already at your limit..
Full!!
Well, maybe only about 90% there..
And you can sorta feel your stomach budging out of your shirt..
14. This is the time to stop..
It has probably been 3 hours since you stepped into this magnificent buffet..
If your stomach permits, have a sip of tea..
It helps digestion..
And have a cookie to go along with it..
You may also chat with the people around you..
Enjoy the very last moments of this meal..
15. Well, there you are..
Ask for your bill..
And prepare to get shocked for the amount of plus plus they have to charge you~
LOL~
Okay...
A few reminders to take note:
Never have anything 1 to 2 hours before a buffet..
If you're going for a dinner buffet, please have some light lunch and snack on something in between both meals to indicate to your body that it's not going to starve..
Always wear clothes that are a tad bigger..
Trust me..
You need the space..
Try not to visit the same buffet places..
Have some variety in your life man..
Experience the world!!
Make sure you make a reservation prior to feasting there..
This is especially on Fridays, Saturdays and Public Holidays..
Some buffets offer free flow of beverages for a minimal sum of money..
DON'T!
I repeat.. Don't accept that..
Plain water will suffice..
And try to minimize your water intake as much as possible..
You don't wanna fill the valuable space up with water.. would you??
Remember to act in a kind and courteous manner..
Be kind to the people there..
Smile to them when they serve you your food..
Say a word of thanks when you receive your food..
That is a virtue..
Who knows..
That little gesture might make someone's day great~
Treat others as you would want them to do upon to you..
=)
Do your research before stepping into a buffet restaurant..
If many people commented poor service, food and ambiance..
You probably should give that place a miss..
Don't always assume that that you are the king/ queen in the place..
Have some respect for others and they would respect you too..
If there are only 2 lobsters, share them with another person..
If the servers are busy, wait patiently or put your plates aside..
Don't grumble over a small issue..
It's not worth it..
With this i hope all of you have a very pleasant dining experience in future..
Satisfied stomach = Satisfied you!
=D
OH!!! I almost forgot a recommendation..
The best buffet spread that I've ever eaten so far..
MELT- The World Cafe..
-_-
