Not so sure, the last Chinese buffet I went to had French fries, fried dough rolled in sugar, and some very odd glutinous substance we called it,"Ba in Sa", it looked like pork testicles...in a sauce, no kidding.
Since then, I have decided to just forgo all Chinese buffets.
How is chocolate pudding Chinese? The dessert section had a variety of pudding, gelatins, ice cream, and cookies. It was very odd.
There used to be a Chinese buffet here in Dallas that served AYCE (all you can eat) snow crab legs! I never bothered with anything else! Now, I go for crab rangoon, veggie lo mein, fried rice and won ton soup....and spring rolls.

It has been many years since I visited a Chinese buffet, but I seem to recall zeroing in on the fried pork dumplings first! I love those little pillows of goodness!!
If you had once choice from the Chinese buffet bar, along with the the choice for rice and soup... What would you choose?
Mussels, fried rice and hot and sour soup, here. I'm a sucker for mussels. I found them at the local asian/Latino market the other day. Made me a sauce of oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a few cloves of fresh minced garlic; then thickened it with some corn starch. I cooked the mussels in hat for about 5 minutes. Then I tore them out of the shells and then cooked some shredded veggies in the sauce. Poured it all together, gave it a mix over the burner. Ate them with the sauce over some rice.
I don't eat at buffets anymore - but IF I did, it would be General Tsao chicken. Horribly unhealthy...but oh so good.
