Karakoram Restaurant in Victoria Drive, Vancouver

On a weekend, my family went to Karakoram Restaurant for lunch.

Karakoram Restaurant took over Tibisti which was also a middle eastern restaurant which offered all you can eat.

We were there before noon and the restaurant was very quiet. It is still an all you can eat place.

We went to take a quick look at the buffet before we decided to go ahead with the all you can eat at $14.99 per person. The above are the salad and condiment bar.

Chicken Biryani, Lemon Potatoes, Mixed Vegetable Stew, … (more…)

Birthday Celebration at Tandoori Flame in Delta

The June birthday boy wanted to celebrate his birthday at Tandoori Flame, the new Indian Buffet in Delta. I was not so eager for any all you can eat as I always ended up regretting it.

We called up to check if they accept reservation. Unfortunately, no. So, we arrived about 5 minutes before the dinner opening time at 5:00PM and there was a line already.

We waited for at least 30 minutes before we got to the reception desk just next to the bar.

One of the server briefly showed us the buffet area and brought us to our table at the covered patio. The server returned to check with Ben if we wanted to order some cocktail or juice while the rest of us were lining up to get our food, she was definitely not happy when Ben said no.

The above is from the appetizer section.

The most interesting item is the puri where you crack the top of the fried bread and stuffed it with some savory accompaniments and some sour and spicy sauces. (more…)

V Star Buffet and 4th July Fireworks

Ben decided to go for the 4th July Fireworks this year. He said at least we watched it once in our life time. We were surprised that there was only 10 to 15 minutes wait at the border crossing. We left home about 10:00AM to have a brunch at Happy Day Restaurant before we proceeded with our day trip.

We stopped at a few places to do some shopping and to pass time. We ended up having dinner at V Star Buffet. We wanted something substantial for the long wait and drive home.

Here are some of the buffet items. Seafood on ice.

Sushi.

Deep fried seafood. (more…)

The Buffet, River Rock Casino, Richmond

Ben had taken a few days off to clear his leave at the end of summer. Since we are on “staycation”, we decided to indulge a little for breakfast.

Ben and I had an early breakfast on a weekday at The Buffet in River Rock Casino.

Prices had gone up a little since our last visit.

IMG_9504

The server asked us if we wanted to be near the window or the food, we opted for the window. It was a gloomy and rainy morning.

IMG_9495

Coffee is a must for breakfast for me. The coffee here is not bad.

IMG_9494

I started off with some western style breakfast; grilled vegetables, bacon, sausage, scrambled egg with cheese and hash brown. (more…)

Breakfast at River Rock Buffet, Richmond

Ben and I went to the Richmond Costco to get the tires replaced. There is no appointment booking for the tire service. We were advised to go earlier, before the center opens at 8:00AM.

IMG_6408
We went out before 7:30AM that morning and we were greeted with a great sunrise. There were already a few people in line. After we dropped off our key for the service, we went to look for a place for breakfast on foot. Ben suggested Kongee King or Buffet at the River Rock Casino.

IMG_6430

We settled with the Buffet at River Rock because we thought we can spent more time there.

IMG_6415

The place is spacious.

Ben asked for a table with the view of the water.

Old Country Buffet, 200th Street SW,WA

After dropping Arkensen at the airbnb place, we continued our journey home.

IMG_4593

We stopped at Old Country Buffet on 200th Street NW to have a late lunch. The strip mall where the Old Country Buffet is located was so quiet. The car park was pretty empty.

IMG_4578

This Old Country Buffet has a large sitting area; definitely bigger than the one in Bellingham.

IMG_4579

Ben started with fried chicken, roast chicken, roast beef and steamed corn. I tasted some roast beef from Ben’s plate and it was rather dry.

IMG_4582

I started off with a chicken pot pie, fried and roast chicken. They were all pretty good. (more…)
