Eat-All-You Can Buffet Food Hacks
Are you the type of diner who likes to indulge in eat-all-you-can buffet food trips? Ever wonder how you can get your money’s worth in each restaurant you visit? Then read on and follow our buffet food hacks!
1. Schedule buffet for lunch time.
A pro tip for all the eat-all-you-can diners out there is to schedule buffet eating for lunch instead of dinner. Apart from the cheaper all you can eat buffet rates during lunch period, having buffet at an earlier time also allows your body time to digest all the food you will be feasting on!
2. Wear comfy clothing.
Make sure to wear stretchable clothing on your scheduled day for buffet eating. Pick comfy pants with elastic band, and breathable clothing that has enough room for any additional bulges your stomach will be incurring after the eat-all-you-can buffet session.
3. Survey the room.
Before hoarding one type of food into your plate, make a quick tour around the spread to survey the selections. Do this so that you can take mental notes of the dishes you plan to get, particularly the expensive ones. After the quick tour, you can now know which dishes to make bigger room for on your plate.
4. Go for a late lunch.
Another tip is to go to your buffet food schedule a few minutes before they switch the menu from lunch menu to dinner menu. So if the eat-all-you-can dinner will start at 4PM, arrive at 3:30PM. This will give you enough time to sample the lunch menu and at the same time get fresh dinner selections later on for the money you paid for the lunch buffet.
5. Compute the cost of what you paid for and eat accordingly.
If you really want to get the most of what you paid for your all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant experience, then multiply the cost of the buffet by three and make it your goal to eat food that is equivalent to that amount. For example, if the buffet food voucher costs P800 then make it your goal to eat P2,400 worth of food. To achieve this, try going for the proteins like the roasted beef, the salmon, the lobsters, and everything that looks and tastes expensive for you. Remember, the higher the cost of what you’re eating the more you’ll maximize your moey’s worth!
6. Get your ice cream fill.
For dessert, ignore the little ice cream bowl available right next to the ice cream station. Instead, go to the soup station to pick a soup bowl and then go back to the ice cream station to fill it up with ice cream! It’s the only way you can get a satisfyingly big amount of ice cream in one trip!
7. Eat fast.
According to some surveys, getting full takes about 20 minutes for the brain to process. So eat as much as you can within the first 20 minutes of your time in a buffet restaurant. This way, by the time your brain thinks you are full, you have consumed too much ahead of time already! So in a way, you would have outsmarted your brain!
8. Get small portions of unfamiliar dishes.
For the buffet restaurant diners who love to explore, a pro tip would be to get just small portions of the food dish you want to try but haven’t tasted yet. This way, you will not waste space on your tummy for food which can turn out to be unsatisfactory for your taste later on.
9. Ignore the sodas and juices.
To leave your tummy enough room for more food, a good tip is to just drink water and to ignore the sodas and juices as sugary and bubbly drinks have a tendency to make stomachs bloat, which can lessen your appetite for eating as much as you’d want to.
10. Try not to sleep.
After you’ve had your fill and money’s worth of food at the buffet restaurant, you might find yourself slouching down and staring blankly into space –a sign of imminent food coma. This is your body telling you to sleep. Try to fight sleepiness and stay awake for three more hours to enable your body to digest the food properly. To soothe your stomach, take hot tea after your buffet or make sure to bring antacid tablets for those who are prone to indigestion, heartburn and other stomach illnesses.
These are just some of the eat-all-you-can buffet food hacks you can use to ensure that you get your money’s worth. For your next buffet schedule, you may want to try Fizzy Box Restaurant’s eat-all-you-can discounted today at Supreme Deals.
