Been so long since i been to a Chinese food buffet. Always avoided them for some reason. But this past weekend for whatever reason i decided to tag along with the some family to go to a Chinese buffet. Seemed one of my aunts really likes their crab there. And hell, you know when there is unlimited crab...or lobster... or any other kind of crustaceans, Asian people will be there to attempt to put the owners out of business, you know the drill. And when it comes to lobster and crab and stuff like that.. they are a little bit like pizza... or sex...when its good, its good. When its bad... its really not that bad. So while they were destroying plates of crab i was walking the buffet aisle seeing what all they had. And i came upon three trays of chicken sitting next to each other. General Tsao's Chicken, Orange Chicken, and Sesame Chicken. I always chuckle when i encounter these dishes, as you have no idea how many times white people have told me "Oh! i know this GREAT chinese place that serves THE MOST authentic Orange Chicken you've ever had!" Anyways, I'm looking at the chicken and I thought to myself...is there a difference between them?? Man i dont know.. they all look like cubes of fried chicken with some sort of gooey orangey brown sauce on them. The only difference i see is that one has sesame seeds on them, the other has some orange peels somewhere in the pan, and the last one doesn't have either so it has to be the good Generals chicken. Meh, hating on the chicken all the time but like always i put some on my plate, ate it, and probably enjoyed it too. Surprisingly, the food there was actually pretty good. i was a bit surprised. But like all of you know, even if the food was absoultley terrible, chinese food buffet always has a backup. The jello sitting next to the honey dew melons and the canned peaches with syrup. YEA BABY, jello there always taste so good. Usually they got red and green flavor and if your lucky enough, they might even have orange flavor. Not that the orange is the best flavor, but it just doesnt make an appearance as often as the other two. Mmm mmm mmm. Chinese food buffet jello. Money.

Chinese Food Buffet...I don't care for them and was definitely guilt into going this past weekend. (It's also 'cuz it was a free lunch...lol.)
ReplyDeleteHowever...I will have to agree about the jello part. That is definitely the first thing I look for when I walk into a buffet. If the jello is not there...which is unlikely...then you know this place is shady! GET OUT while you still can...hahaha.
did you really just do that ...

ReplyDeleteordering orange chicken from a chinese spot is the most nigggerish thing you can do. real talk, you can always spot the nigga who has never actually ate real chinese food when he is unwilling to order anything but that.
if there are 10 niggas in line at panda express, that orange chicken pan is bout to be empty.
