I love smorgasbords. I have the urge to go to All You Can Eat's regularly. I try to suppress them, but every now and then I give in (more importantly, I persuade my friends and Gaz to go with me) and without fail, I roll out of the restaurant with regret. Regret because yet again I have submitted to the sin of gluttony... and I did not make full use of the event to gorge myself even more!!
Today my friend and I went to Gold Leaf BBQ Docklands for an all you can eat steamboat feast. For $23.80 per person (lunch, no matter weekdays or weekends), we each get a mini abalone, two oysters and countless steamboat type dishes such as sliced beef, sliced lamb, home made prawn balls, fish balls, fish fillets, veges, noodles, etc.
We ordered more scallops and prawns than for our own good (could feel my cholestorol level creeping up) so we balanced it up with some healthy options like fish fillets, fish noodles, fish balls and veges.
My friend ordered the spicy supreme stock which came with dried chillies and pepper flotsam while I had the much milder pork bone stock. We both had our own individual single pots of soup.
Service was superb as the waitpersons carefully explained to us how to order, and our teapot was always filled without us asking.
Towards the end of our meal, the soup became very salty because of the food we'd put into the stock. I also became very thirsty, however it's to be expected as processed food such as the dumplings and fish balls etc would have a little 621 to them.
As we rolled out the door, I swore to my friend I would not enter another smorgasbord ever again to subject myself to such torturous eating. She just smiled (or was that a smirk?) knowingly...
