The Hollow Sense of Gluttony

[lupestripe]

All you can eat Chinese buffets are evil. They give you a plate, a fixed price and then tempt you with a sumptuous array of goodies that are impossible to resist. Now my belly feels like someone's trying to blow up a hot air balloon from the inside. Plus I'm really regretting that final serving of coffee cake.

I often put away three whole plates of food, plus dessert, and I'm not usually a big eater :)

It's just so tempting isn't it? It's likem a syren call tempting us with its deliciousness. You know you feel full but no, that spring roll must be eaten *sob*. I feel like I have a little dwarf in me (as opposed to a big dwarf) trying to punch his way out :(

I generally stick with the curry and rice. Lots of rice :)

Isn't that Indian restaurants as opposed to Chinese? Must admit I prefer Indian food myself but I've been getting into Chinese of late, just like I've been getting into Starbucks I guess hehe (except Starbucks don't sell soy sauce in their nasty little grande tub things - perhaps they're missing a trick there).

Lots of Chinese places have rice, but it's mainly egg-fried or has vegetables in it :)

The rice at this place had random prawny things floating in it - it was quite offputting. It looked like the Thames Estuary when the tide was out - without the random beer cans and polythene bags of course.

Egg-fried rice is gorgeous but my stomach doesn't like it - it probably would've tipped me over the edge had I eaten that yesterday. The vegetable stuff however was sumptuous to the point of devine. And now I'm over-exaggerating like that Jilly Goolden woman. I'd better stop.
