Why its awesome:
- 100 baht (about 3 bucks) for an all you can eat buffet.
- fruit, veggies, pre-cooked items like spring rolls and fried chicken, raw meat and fish you cook at your own table to your liking, sauces galore, kanoms (small gel desserts), and coconut ice cream with peanuts.
- picking what you like and cooking it yourself
- staying warm by the firepot on a cold night with the whole thai family.
- awesome restaurant atmosphere
- live music
Why its incredibly stressful:
- placing raw meat on the fire with the same chopsticks you remove cooked meat with.
- soaking said chopsticks in boiling water every time you touch anything with them...in an effort to stave off salmonella.
- being just about ready to pull off a wonderful piece of bacon, when someone plops down some raw liver right on top of it.
- you never know when someone is going to put a questionable item on your plate. maybe its a little undercooked, maybe its boiled blood, maybe its an entire squid. you've picked your own food from the buffet, but somehow you're expected to taste "chim" whatever is placed on your plate.
- No one else seems to have the same concerns as you.
That being said, I can't wait for the gamble that is my next Korean barbecue meal. (knock on wood) I haven't been sick yet!
