1. The true fisherman’s friend

They go straight for their sashimi.

These people know what they want in life. And the best things in life are free fish.

2. Those who love to play hide and seek

They hide their food under/in anything and everything they can find because it’s “so paiseh” when you ask the waiter to clear your plate that is half full of untouched food.

Especially when there’s a fine imposed on every kg of food wasted.

3. Those who leave no man food behind

One word. Dapao. Hide the food in your handbag, wrap them up in tissue paper, or bring your own containers. Then run home, fast.

4. Those left for dead

They bring back the whole buffet table or order the entire menu for their friends but no one wants to finish it.

5. The Warren Buffets

These enlightened ones invest their calories in a variety of food, and in small amounts each.

6. The more-is-always-better

These people totally understand the meaning of ‘$40 all you can eat buffet’ and make sure they are getting their money worth.

No shame.

7. Those who keep talking about how they have to exercise after the buffet but continue eating anyway.

They really get their exercise only by walking around the buffet spread 10 times –to look for more food.

They were on a diet until -

We don’t blame them.

8. Those who arrive right on the dot when the buffet starts at 12pm, and leave reluctantly only when they are chased out at the end of the buffet at 4pm.

9. Those who go to the toilet and then for a walk so they can come back for a second third fourth fifth round.

Those free flow drinks? It’s an evil scam to fill up our stomachs so that we will eat less and they’ll earn more.

11. Those who regret wearing tight fitting clothes

12. The kids

They were forced to come by their parents. Just pick a buffet with the chocolate fountain or an ice cream station and you’ll be fine.

13. The Lucky Ones who come back to the table with plate after plate full of food but are still skinny.

14. The Justifers

They starved the whole day just for this buffet! Oh and they are going to skip dinner later and maybe breakfast and lunch the next day. Leave them to their food, and spare the judgment please.

15. The Racers

They literally run to the buffet table everytime they have to refill their plates, gobble down their food, and run to the table again.

Ain’t there nobody who came to the buffet for salad.

18. The Hoggers

They wait and queue patiently for the new batch of tempuras to be served, and then grab ‘em all while they are hot. You can’t beat them, and they may leave a small teeny weeny piece for you if you are lucky.

19. Those who came in a group but do not talk.

Their mouths have better things to do than talk and have time only to recommend food down by that row of buffet table, on the left.

And there you have it. This is how we buffet folks roll.
