Eric's Beijing Diary

Raymond's birthday tonight. We went to a one of these new buffet places. This one is different, though. It emphasizes barbecue. What they do, is charge you one price for the buffet, and then leave a checklist on your table. The meat guys come around with different types of meat, and cut enough for your table. It is the meatiest meal I have had for a long time. If I knew how much meat there was going to be, I would have stayed away from the buffet table, or at least taken a lot less. Squid, several cuts of beef, varieties of pork, fish, several parts of chicken, and two or three kinds of sausage.
