"Bite The Wax Tadpole"

On Sunday John and I went to eat lunch at The Super Chinese Happy Buffet…not to be confused with the Super Terrific Happy Hour. We have eaten there a few times but never while there was a crowd.

I swear it was like herding cattle into the sale barn. I was shocked at the behavior witnessed while I shuffled in line, trying desperately to make it to the pot stickers before Lulu from Hee Haw ate off my right arm. With no regards for the rules (line forms to the right) people rushed the buffet, sloshing food on their plate. Piling entrée on top of entrée until you could no longer tell the difference between the Sesame Chicken and Moo Shoo Pork. It was disgusting. And since when do you just grab egg rolls with your hands and not utilize the tongs?

Of course this could have everything to do with location. I also noticed that patrons of the establishment have become so lazy they are bringing 2 or more plates up to the line at a time. Not for a child mind you, but for themselves. Holding the line up while they set one plate down to fill another, then try to pick them both up while balancing a bowl of sweet and sour on top. Unreal.

And why is it so hard to get a Coke at a Chinese buffet? No, Pepsi is not okay, what did Coca Cola do to piss off the communist? I guess my dream of floating down the Yangtze River while drinking a Coke will never happen. Damn. Someone once told me that Coca- Cola in Chinese means “bite the wax tadpole” Nice. No wonder they don’t want to drink it. After all, a wax tadpole is gross but the octopus tentacles floating in a snot broth are not.
