So I was right about China King not opening back up from its “remodelling”. A new place opened out of the blue. Me and mom went in there to scope out the buffet a couple days ago and I was wondering if there was anything on the buffet I’d actually eat. I noticed there was still quite a bit of Chinese food as well as sushi so I thought maybe it was still owned by the same people, but just wasn’t a Chinese buffet anymore. Friday (technically yesterday) was dad’s night to pick where we ate and of course he picks that one. I don’t like trying new things, it’s just how I am but it was his night so…. They still had some of the same things, mixed with typical American food. I realised they obviously have a different sushi guy now (bye bye Dr. No!) and there was nigirizushi! No shrimp or crab, just fish. I got some and went looking for shrimp sauce. I found it and that shit was basically water. I thought NYC shrimp sauce was drippy, it has nothing on this stuff. I had nothing to dip it in and it was totally bland. I think they need to adjust some shit. The egg drop soup tasted weird (even I can make that, how do you fuck it up??) and the mashed potatoes were totally liquid. They still had buttery potatoes and that made me happy until I bit into one. It was spicy as fuck and tasted off. wtf. ☹️ TheFrench fries and flounder were the only thing I really ate, so I’m kinda hungry. One thing they improved was that a big bar of nothing but sauces was put behind the buffet. I was always wanting ketchup at the old place, so I did have something to dip my fries and flounder in…..
I am so disappointed! I have to find a new Chinese buffet somewhere close. We are completely oversaturated with Mexican restaurants, but not a Chinese buffet in sight. 😒 bleh.
My air conditioner is still broken and the window unit is not keeping the place cool, especially my bedroom. I’ve been leaving the door open when I’m out so the air will circulate. It’s not helping much. I took a shower and wasn’t able to cool off and get totally dry after, so I was sweating and grumpy.
When I got to the parents, dad saw my horror movie shirt (Evil Dead 2) and mentioned that Smile was one of the best horror movies he’s seen. I agreed, and he asked me if I saw Smile 2, which I haven’t. He told me he watched it, and I asked how he could watch that without me? I was so sad, because he told me the ending, very vaguely, but I was pretty annoyed by that. Still can’t believe he watched it without me. When I bought the Smile dvd, I went straight to their house so we could watch it together. Doofus. 😭 I’m gonna get it off Amazon and watch it alone, I reckon.
I saw Wink (parents neighbours adopted cat) on the way in and he’s looking pretty good. He has FIV, diabetes, and some kind of skin condition on his bum. He had just gotten back from the vet when I got there, and neighbour said he was doing well, which made me happy to hear. A couple of years ago, he just showed up in their neighbourhood and my parent neighbours kind of adopted him and took him to the vet and gave him care etc. That poor thing was beat up and missing an eye. I don’t think anyone ever took care of him, but he’s such a sweet boy and everyone loves him. I really hope he feels the love, he deserves it after having a hard life. I love that cat 🖤 I hope he stays around for as long as possible.
