Century Buffet
Now open up on Dupont at I-69.
Newly built, it is behind the LaQuinta Hotel which is to the East of the Trolley Bar.
The first time I went the water wall was having some issues, as you can see the guy on the ladder was poking bigger holes in the tubing so the water would run down the wall. They had just filled it up with water and poured some live fish in (which I assume died within the hour because they did not treat the chlorinated tap water).
Not as large of selection as some of the other places have, but what they do have is good and fresh! The food is the usual fair. But placed on the bar in small portions so it is fresh! Love Love Love this concept. I mean I love it with hearts and sprinkles love love love it.
Much nicer than metal hotel pans filled with
stale dry food, that needs to be tossed out!
Ohhh the traditional sweet sticky rice!
And sitting in the fresh pineapple bowl gives it
just a hint of the pineapple flavor.
Absolutely Fabulous!
This rice dish is EXTREMELY sticky and does pose a true choking hazard! People (usually older people) die each year from choking on sweet sticky rice during the holidays.
If you don't know what Lychee is, then be very careful and only take one small cube to try it at first. You will either love it or hate it.
And don't worry, there is still the usual selection of dry nasty Palmer pastries
straight out of the box like all the other Chinese Buffets have!
Century Buffet has the usual sushi bar where they have sushi pre-made. or you can ask the chefs to make you something special. And Century Buffet also offers the "flat top grill" where they will cook the raw food you place in a bowl and hand to them. Of course those pictures did not turn out well. I am still learning how to use my phone as a camera.
On the second visit they were out of chopsticks. Oh well a fork would have to do then.
I love the kids room. Just off the buffet area is a room that the workers kids occupy. I was tempted to ask if I could sit with the kids. The room looked real friendly and all since they had coloring books and laptops and all kinds of toys.
KIMCHI is one of my most favoritest foods in the world also. I won't lick kimchi off the floor like I will guacamole or cilantro; but kimchi is right up there. The first time I had the kimchi at Century Buffet it was a bit hot (HA! did I say a bit hot? Duh!) and seemed like it didn't have the 1/2 spoonful of sugar added to it. The second visit the kimchi was perfection! I tried not to make a fool of myself. But it was like Walt Disney sprinkled his magic dust on the kimchi and I had no choice.
