Then they left because all of them were so full that they couldn't put anything into their mouths. This man suddenly had abdominal pain on his way back home. His friends sent him to the hospital immediately. The doctor told him that he suffered from acute gastric dilatation and had to accept hospital treatment. He followed the doctor’s advice and stayed in the hospital until he fully recovered. In all, he spent more than CNY 5000 curing his illness. I went to the cafeteria several times but I seldom go there now. I notice that I can’t eat too much no matter how hard I try. Thus, I give it up. Some people think they pay a lot so that they do their best to eat, eat and eat. In this way, they feel that their money is well spent. But they ignore that eating and drinking too much is no good for their health. How much can you eat in the cafeteria?

Some cafeterias provide eat-all-you-can buffet with a preset price. Usually I don't go to a cafeteria that provides the latter because I don't eat much, so I will opt for pay what you eat and not pay what you can eat. Wan

I think most people will do the same if they like the food there. Anyway, the price per person at Cafeteria is expensive, and in my opinion, the price is close to the maximum based on ordinary appetite. So, they do not want any lost in a meal.

At least, the cafeteria I went to are 'eat all you can' ones. But they have some requirements. Some regulates that you can't stay there more than 2 hours. Some requires you not to waste food. Otherwise, you will be fined.

As I always say to friends of mine who go there "what would you do if the person in front of you sneezes"? All that food laid out for people to touch is a health hazard

i heard recently they have been transformed to different module in big coastal city. ie. a variety of different options of raw dishes displayed on the shelf inside the counter.. u can choose what ever u want on the display..and they cook it on the scene for u...its clean. fresh . tasty and affordable...in north america.i guess there still exists buffet of this kind...but anyway its not a right place to enjoy food...

This year, I came to the Golden Hans near the community where I lived. Their food was worse, in my opinion. I just found lean crab legs. They smelt fishy and I gave it up.

Chinese cuisine is the best in the world because it is mostly quick cooked food with fresh ingredients, not just left in the corner to stay warm for whenever and whoever. It should be wok to bowl quickly.
