what happens when we eat buffets??

haha...i just take a little of everything! hehehe but if i find one food good i add some...hehehe but sometimes i don't get food that i know how to cook...i like to try new ones. and i don't usually eat much of the desserts... i remember one time when we go there with my friends..actually we are with our husbands...i wonder how she manage to eat that much of cakes slices...hehehe knowing that she already eat lots of rice...i just want to think that she really make the best out of her money! hehehe

I attend parties or eat in any restaurants be buffet or the normal servings. In case of buffet which eat all you can. I never eat any food that is being serve in front of me. I take only a small portion of food,then smell first before eating tasting it to my tongue before taking another portion. I do not even like to put many food as over eating is not good for me as I have a fast metabolism it could only make me goes frequently to the comfort room as different mix of food is not alright for my appetite. Though, a balance portion of food would be enough for me without overloading of food..

i don't really like going to buffets unless i am with someone. i'm always too shy to go to the table and get food all by myself. ^.^ but when i do, with someone, i take a serving of all my favorite food. LOL but i'm careful on choosing which to pick because i have to scrutinize first (just by looking!) the ingredients of the dish because i am allergic to some food like seafoods and chicken. ^__^;; but when it comes to dessert, i take all that i can. LOL i love sweet and cold desserts!

For me, naturally I want to get my money worth too. I have friends who go to buffets and take just one plate. And the plate was not even overflowing. Unless there are things there that can't be had elsewhere, I think it is such a waste of money for them. I usually go a few rounds and each round, I would take a bit of each food item I think I would like to eat. I don't go for the expensive stuffs solely. To begin with, I may not even like them - e.g raw oysters. I have some friends who love that a lot and since they are relatively more expensive, they would take a lot (and end up going to the toilet in the middle of the meal lol). But I always try to finish what I take. I think it is inconsiderate and wrong to waste good food. If you think you cannot finish, don't take it.

I love buffets, but I dislike the greediness of buffet situation by inconsiderate eaters. Their plates will be mountainous full and worst off, they can't finish all the food. You are right, really troublesome for the waiters, waitresses.

I love buffets! They are cheap and of course, there's a wide variety of food to choose from without any worries about the cost of taking and eating too much! Lol, I remember I used to go for buffets every now and then in my Secondary school times, and majority of these times, I would go alone as none of my friends love to eat buffets and I am the only one! For me, I will take a lot of food at one shot, as I am there alone and I don't fancy the idea of walking from my table to the buffet table every now and then. Usually I would walk up to the buffet table once and take all that I want to eat and then sit down and enjoy my food. Only when I am feeling not satisfied or full after finishing all those on my table then I will go back a 2nd time to take some more food. The sequence in how I take my food is that I will take every single dish that is out on the buffet table, but of course, it is all in very small portions (like maybe 1 bite or two and you will be to finish up that dish!). This would ensure that I had tried every single dish out there before deciding what suits my appetite and what doesn't. If I really like one of the dish, I would then walk back to the buffet table and take more of those dish. Of course, if I had been to that restaurant more than once and know exactly what suits my tastebuds, I would then just go and pile up my plates on that dish and ignore all the others. Lol. That being said, if there is any other new dishes I had never try before, I will take those but of course in just very small portions for me to determine if I like those dishes or not. And weird to say, although I have a very small appetite, when it comes to buffets, my appetite becomes very big. And I will be able to finish up everything that I had taken. Even if I could not, I will just sit in the restaurant until I could. Lol, afterall buffets allows us to be in there just eating for up to 6-8 hours depending on the crowd in that restaurant. I just love Hans River, and is craving for it! Yum!

When I was on holiday in Rhodes this year we had a buffet meal every night, and I loved trying out the different Greek foods, so I had a bit of everything, the foods I liked I had more of, I usually went back twice to have an extra helping. The meats were delicious, I never wasted any food, I only took what I could eat and after a day of swimming and walking I was very very hungry so I enjoyed the food.

I generally try to take the dishes a bit that i think i may like. I eat very less. so i can't eat much. Then I take my favourites items to the amount that i can actually eat, not plateful.

Hello there. I just went to the Swissotel Merchant Court Buffet located at Clarke Quay. It's famous for it's Durian Puree =D When it comes to buffet, I only eat food that I like. My friends often say I lose out in buffet because I do not eat the expensive food like oysters, raw sashimi and etc. I take a bit of the main course and then I'll start eating lots of desserts. I usually go for Chocolate desserts. As for the Merchant Court buffet I just went to, I ate a lot of the Durian Puree. It feel so sinful. =P

When i go to a buffet, I usually get keep grabbing food and keep stuffing myself. I was already fully prepared to be bloated so my only concern is how many plates I could eat before I don't feel good. Once in Macau, I stuffed myself with so much food only to find a very tasty dessert I didn't get to try yet. ~.~ Next time I guess

I try to eat as much as I can during a buffet. Usually in small portions so I get to taste everything. But then I end up being stuffed, tired and not wanting to move. I usually start with soup and junk food (potato wedges, spring rolls, chicken wings), then sushi, then grilled stuff (kebabs, chicken, shrimp) and dim sum, then things I've never tried before that look good and finally dessert (ice cream, cake, jello.) I try to finish everything on my plate... because even if I have already paid for it, it's still a waste if I don't eat it all.

hi kun i would take just a bit more than I can eat, and take the leftovers home in a doggy bag for the next day.they will keep'in ther refridgerator and I will have a nice meal the next day. I love'sea food and buffets both.

Hi, nun2349. I will just pile my plate up with a certain amount of food that I know that I can manage eating. And once I eat this slowly, I will get me some dessert or a salad at the end of the course. I try not to eat too fast and too much. I want to leave room in my stomach for the goodies that I so love!

Hi Kun, what's with the new avatar, brings out the cuteness & friendliness in you for sure. One of my favourite movie and song for some time....well...it was back then. I certainly would like to feel well fed and the value worth paying for! But nowadays I have become mellow and nice in a way that I eat what I find is interesting and like you..food that I haven't tasted before, exotic ones..uhmmmm. Then slowly go to the main course and desserts the last. But I do attempt to go a few rounds and have more on the food that I like. I would usually offer to share my plate with the rest of my friends so in a way to share the joy and not thought of as glutton...lol. Sadly to say, there is still people who pile up their food to the highest they can on their plates and the rudeness of rushing to get their food first. It will be nice one day, the eatery places could provide a device that could help their customers to measure & plan a proper meal. Is there such place? Cheers and have a good weekend!

i love buffets, and a get small servings of anything i see. if i like the taste then i come back for more. if the taste is not my type then i just eat whats on my plate.

I love buffets! I always start with the things that I love but seldom get to eat and then I'll add a couple of the everyday things like...mashed potatoes! I never take more than I know I can eat.

I like going to buffets because you have such a varity of foods to choose from. However, I try to be careful not to take more than I know I can eat. I don't like to waste good food that someone else would have eaten and is now being thrown in the garbage. I hate when you see people with heaping piles of food and then they leave most of it behind. I try and take smaller portions at a time and go back more often. That way I know how much food I'm really going to eat.

When I was still in the Philippines, my officemates and I love to go to a buffet restaurant. If we have a plan to go there, we usually have it at noon. What we did was, we just eat a very light breafast or just fruits, so that we will be able to enjoy the food at the buffet resto. And what will end up happening, we didn't usually eat dinner because we are so full at lunch. Since we've been there frequently, we know already what our favorite foods there, so we ate them first. We just took a small amount of each food at a time so that we are sure that we will be able to eat if not all but more of the foods there. That buffet restaurant was one of the very beautiful and kinda affordable place in the city. They have more or less 20 different foods, desserts, etc. Wow! I am already feeling hungry now just imagining it.LOL
