All you can eat

So this new Chinese Buffet place recently opened in my neighborhood. I went and tried it out with H. last night. Considering the price ($14), the food really wasn't bad at all. Aside from the usual fixings like jello (why do they all have jello?), cookies, cakes (can you tell I go straight to the dessert table first?), fried appetizers (they were actually crunchy and not cold and soggy - nice!), noodles and rice, assorted dishes, sushi, steamed dimsum, they also have crab during dinner times! H. polished a whole shell and said it was pretty good.

For some reason, whenever I go to one of those "all you can eat" places, I ended up stuffing myself so much that I basically waddle out of there. I wonder if it's the cheapskate in me who wants to get enough (or more) to get my money's worth? Maybe it's the adventurous side of me who wants to sample and try everything? More likely that I just have no self control, especially when it comes to food.

In the meantime, I'm thinking about one of my aunts' ginger chicken (dry rubbed with the spices and cooked in the rice cooker)
