Buffet

Tonight, Gramma and I decided to check out the East Buffet in Flushing. My parents were considering going there because of the good things they'd heard about it. All you can eat, which includes Peking Duck, steak, and steamed lobster for only $15 per person.
I'll admit, the Peking Duck was really good. The steamed lobster, on the other hand, was completely not worth it. First, people were fighting for it - literally fighting. A new tray would come out every 5 minutes or so and the moment the tray was set down, people would start swarming until it was empty, which took approximately 20 seconds. I didn't feel like fighting for it so I stood in line for the Peking Duck instead and watched the mayhem. It was ridiculous to see some people walk away with a plate piled high with lobster claws. Gramma decided to try for some lobster at one point and she made the mistake of waiting patiently while the tray was getting set into the buffet. I watched some guy pretty much shove her to the side while making a grab for the stupid lobster. Well, Gramma successful got away with a few pieces. I was a little disappointed with the results. The lobster was overly salty and it was stringy. Not too sure why people were so crazy about it.
O, and some little old lady shoved in front of me in the line for Peking Duck. She just wheedled in and refused to look at me. I don't care how old you are lady, you should at least say excuse me.
Dessert was good though, Gramma and I each had a little chocolate cup filled with strawberry and banana. Yum!
