Guide / Buffets
With all the
advantages buffets have for the guest as well as for the
restaurateur, it's surprising that they haven't become more common
in Bangkok earlier. But certainly, they are the trend now. Until
recently buffets were confined to restaurants of five-star hotels.
But meanwhile, more and more independent restaurants also offer
buffets. By now, there is lively competition so the guest
can expect the best.
Among the undoubted
advantages of buffets to the guest are: first, no waiting
time for the meal; second, individual selection of favorite foods;
third, big portions with second or third helpings.
But buffets
are a good deal not only for the guest but also for the restaurateur.
His or her advantages are: first, tables are occupied for a shorter
period of time and can be used for two settings during one lunch
time or three settings during one dinner time; second, more economical
preparation of the meals because they are not prepared one by one;
third, shorter storage time for unprepared foods.
Buffets really
have the potential of being a good value. And the advantage
of no waiting time is particularly important to all who eat out
for lunch on a work day. Therefore, buffets are to executives
what fast-food restaurants are to ordinary employees.
In general
but particularly with buffets that include many warm dishes, it's
an advantage to arrive early - around 12:00 for lunch buffets.
Buffets typically allow eating as much as one wants, unlike salad
bars that commonly only allow one plate.
