Just now I was talking to a colleague of mine. Her department combined with another department to organize a buffet dinner in a restaurant just now. And as we talk, we came to this topic, about how people eat during buffet.

Have you ever wonder people tend to stuff their stomach until going to burst in buffet? I mean people tend to eat until the food is worth the price they pay for it. People tend to starve themselves in order to make way for the buffet’s food. Am I right?

I mean, what the hell?

You can see it especially you go to steamboat buffet. Kiasu people will only eat one thing. You know what is it? If you’re in the same thinking as me, you’ll know

Yes, it’s prawn

It’s like Oh My God. They ‘sapu’ the prawn until you can see a small hill make off prawn shells in front of their plate. Do you know that prawn is very high in cholesterol and because of you want to eat until it’s worth the money you pay, you willing to screw up your health? Or stuffing your stomach until you can’t breath.

“Alaa…once a blue moon, it’s okay, lah”

It’s not okay, at all!! Even it’s not affecting your health, you shouldn’t be having this type of mentality right? At least for me, it’s not okay, at all.

They just keep on take and take and take and at the end of the day, they can’t finish they food they take earlier on, you know how they solve it? They mix the uneaten food with the those prawn shells, used tissue papers, chicken and fish bone. So that those uneaten food looks like food waste.

I’ve seen it myself and I’ve done it myself, HELPING my friend to “solve” his food which he take it too much and unable to finish it.

People tend to turn into hungry ghost and stomp the food like they have not eaten a single meal for a week.

“Take the prawn, take the fish, more worth it. Don’t take the fish ball and meat ball, not worth it,waste money”

This is one of the most common statement you can hear when you’re in buffet.

Some even “potong” the queue when everyone is lining up to take their food. Hello, it’s buffet, the food will be replenish by the staffs once finish. Why act like as if you don’t take now, you’ll miss the chance to eat already.

I hate going buffet with people who take all the food available in the buffet and bring to table with the excuse of “taking for all of you as well”. You don’t know what I want to eat, and you decide what I should eat in buffet? Are you okay with that? Hell no for me.

I hate when people can’t finish the food they take, they turn and say to me “hey J, eat!!I know you can eat one” . Then they put the food on your plate. Nope, I’ve been on diet since half a year ago, and I’m not as big eater as you think. So stop forcing me to eat.

You can see many funny kiasu attitude in buffet. Seriously, if you pay more attention.

By the way, an advice to all of you who wants maximize the food intake during buffet by starving yourself the whole day, you’re doing it the wrong way. By starving yourself the whole day, your stomach actually will shrink and by the time you go buffet, you can’t eat much anymore.

The correct way to do it is stuff your freaking stomach until the max during breakfast. This is to stretch your stomach to maximum. then skip other meal until buffet. By doing that, you’ll have more room for your food intake. Make sure you’re hydrated throughout the day because water is a taboo in kiasu eater handbook.

There you go. He he.
