That’s so smart I’m never gona eat rice or noddles when I go there ever again

You are the sweetest for not telling ur parents about the dinner price. 👍😊

At Golden Corral you pay beforehand….so you can indeed go at the end of lunch and get dinner items lol

The thought of watermelon trying to hydrate me instead of liquid makes me so thirsty I can't even begin to describe 😭

😲 Watermelon for hydration is a move.

Every buffet I've been to, you pay before you sit. So you don't get charged differently for grabbing "dinner food"

The green beans at Chinese buffets are always awesome…and healthy.

😂😂 so true. My dad always told us no rice, roti or naan, just eat the kebabs and roast with chutneys and pickled onions

No matter what my parents say, I still go to noodles section

I love this, it’s the same with my Hispanic parents 🤣

Lmaoo this is my middle eastern parents rules too! 😂 No pizza or carbs! Plates and plates of seafood, meat and veg! Parents from Asia are too funny. That was so sweet of you to give them that little moment of bliss. You're a great daughter! 😄❤️

as an asian, I agree hahahaa. my rule is to eat foods that I cant cook or foods that I usually doesnt cook. if there's prawns, crabs, and the likes, its in the top of the list. get a little rice to eat once the food becomes to 'heavy'. sip a little water or eat a little piece of watermelon if you get thirsty.. but I also do eat a nit of the usual food we eat to compare if theirs is better or mine. hahaha

Cute. 💗 reminds me of our Papa. He loooved getting a deal at a buffet. He passed away last year, and we miss him so much! This was a sweet reminder. Thanks 💗

Is no one going to talk about how sweet it is that she did that for her parents 😊

They are correct. Carbs fill you up fast. Watermelon when you're thirsty is a new one though.

Technically speaking if they change the dishes while you’re in the middle of literally eating you shouldn’t be charged for whatever they put out to replace what they are taking away that you indeed did pay for imjs 😂

Your a real one 💯You paid and never said anything just to make there day very classy I like that💯💋♀️

I mean besides the watermelon thing I thought this was common knowledge 😂 I can’t stand people who go the the buffet and get one small plate. If I go I’m getting at least 3 plates filled to the top

Lol I love this, definitely African parents too 😂

I just did this to my daughter Saturday. I told her vegetables are for home! 😂

Naaww I laughed so hard at the part where you didn't tell them. Cos I do the exact same thing for my parents why ruin their moment😊😊

Hahaha relate much here. My son laughing like crazy as soon as he heard this video lol

Getting your moneys worth is like the most Asian thing... whenever my family and I go to hotels, we make sure to take all the free stuff and amenities..

My parents are the same too. They'll only go at lunch though with their senior citizens discount. The buffet is the only place They'll go to eat unless we take them out, but I always know they wish they were at the buffet. My husband and I don't care for it, we don't have big appetites and they make us feel like we're wasting money by not packing the food in! We prefer smaller quantities of food that are of higher quality than buffet food when we go out. We took them on a cruise and my parents were so happy!! My dad especially, would be smiling ear to ear with the all you can eat. At one of our dinners, he still talks about it today, he was in heaven, he ate 3 lobsters!! He also wrecked all his shirt pockets by taking extra cookies back to his suitcase via his front shirt pockets. The grease from cookies stained his pockets, but it was worth it to him!! 😊

My family abides by those same rules. I love a seafood buffet. Also it was very sweet of you to let them think they got away with it. That will be a funny family story for years to come!

Aww that’s so sweet that you just went along with it😎❤️! I love their buffet strategy!

I must be related to you every time I go to the buffet I eat like it's my last meal

Me and my friends also eat this way if we go for all you can eat or a buffet, stick to the meats and seafood and skip the carbs. That watermelon for hydration is a great idea, never thought of it! Will use that next time haha!

My Lola (grandma) used to bring ziplock bags in her large purse and had us grandkids grab 2 plates one for us and one for the ziplock bag 🤣

That is so sweet. Parents can be so cute. For all our parents have done for us. Bless you my dear.

*We never ate at the buffet but I love to watch someone enjoys a great food. God bless*

😂😂😂 I skip the soup and salad to filling! But I don’t do buffets since early 2000s

I can literally relate to this..lol

Rule # 1 : never go to buffet 😅 I eat tiny portion and feel full, so i pay for what I consume only

That's just awesome, this story made my day!

Dad always had to wrap an egg roll in a napkin and smuggle it out.

🥲I love you for that.. parents are the best

Great thinking! I don’t eat at buffets but that’s good to know if I end up going sometime.

Lol the restaurant where I work has buffets for high-volume holidays like mother's day and Easter and I wish more people were like your parents bc we end up clearing so many plates off of tables still filled with food and it feels sooo wasteful 🥲 The only good part is that we can through the buffet when service is over with to go boxes 😋

OMG! I thought I was the only Asian who had a parent like this! I once had 3 elderly Asian women, (Mom and her 2 cousins), eat at a buffet just like this except they had already eaten a couple of hours before at a picnic! And they ate more than me, who's twice as large as they were! And they were petite! Never again. Buffets traumatized me for life.

I eat all seafood 🦀 at buffets 👍 yum

Asian here. When we stay at hotels, the breakfast is always included. Rule - walk for 3 minutes to cross all the croissants and pastries and everything, you’ll approach the eggs and sausage and bean section … it’s ok. But walk a little more, you’ll reach the darker section where they have freshly cut fruits, fresh juices, flavored yogurt made in-house, fantastic muesli full of nuts, sugar free desserts made of dates, etc.

My parents taught the same🤣🙌🏽

My parents are the same way 😭 I miss going to buffets with them

That's sweet of you. You're a good daughter. 👍 💗

As a asian this is so true every time I go to buffet with my Asia family. They told me to eat alot of seafood XD

That's my exact game plan when I go to buffets too lol

The owner at the China Star buffet that I go to literally stares you down if you go seconds on the crab legs or oysters 😂 I feel guilty sometimes as if I’m breaking their business

All facts! I’m straight to the seafood dishes when I go to a buffet. I have some noodles but not too much

I do that too. 😂 I eat the meat/ seafood, limit my carbs, water and don't go in super hungry. Eat a teeny tiny bit about an hour before.

My uncle goes to cicis and eats,naps there,poops and then eats again. He's getting his $7's worth lol

My family does that too!!! “You didn’t come here for rice!! You came here for sushi!”

U didn't mention secretly wrapping things and putting them in Mama's purse. 🤣 My grandma did that, and my mom has from time to time.

That’s so sweet! Letting them have their “deal” and be happy 🥰

Aww it was so sweet of you to make your parents day like that!

That's what my pinay mother always says when we go to a buffet 😂

🥺🥺🥺🥺 your so sweet ❤️❤️

Hahaha that lunch dinner part was cute! My kind of people with the buffet rules!

Dam those are very good tips definitely will be doing them next time I go ☺️ thanks 👍

My uncle taught me to get just a tiny piece of everything, like a sample size, to taste everything a buffet has to offer (NO RICE OR CARBS) that way you know what food you will go back to eat again and again

Omg, that is so me…an Asian mom.😂

You are so sweet. Your parents are very cute.

I'm going to definitely follow your parents rules the next time I go to the seafood buffet, I went 2 weeks ago, by the time I ate a salad 🥗, soup, I couldn't eat none of the awesome seafood 😋

Mexican parents do the same thing, well at least mine did 😂😂

Tips that i follow are : 1) skip a meal before the actual time of buffet. 2) eating cucumber in between buffet, it helps to lighten up and hence eating up.

Haahah same with my family 🤣 I get roasted for eating rice 😭

Lol...I love the Asian buffet!!!!🥰🤗

Very smart parents 👌

Best advice I've ever had 😅

Eating watermelon instead of drinking water is a god move

Arabs, Asians, Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Indians… they all have this in common! Eat as much as you can at a buffet, and go straight to the most expensive thing at the table! 🤣😂

God bless♥️ you have the sweetest soul, I’d do that for my parents too

This is literally Vegas strategy for any race lol. And the buffet should not be charging dinner prices if you arrives during lunch!!

SWEET! Such a kind, loving daughter.

This is why I like going to the places where you paid before you eat.

I remember getting a scoop of rice at my very first buffet and my parents went on a whole lecture in the car on the way back home 😭

This was a wonderful story, thanks for sharing!

I'm also an asian and I can guarantee this😂 also we go to buffet during dinner bc it's longer 😂

Whoever in squeezing the lime, has so pretty nails 💅

Yes I eat everything, I.just take sips on liquids... when i was living in a hotel for 6mons on and off we have breakfast buffet and I start with noodles, American breakfast, dimsum, some meat, pastries, salad, sushi, then salmon steak and ice cream... I never gain weight because we don't eat lunch and have light dinner

I always tell my husband that.. eat all the protein. He's always eating rice and noodles n fried foods gets full so fast.. not me.. all the seafood and shellfish plenty of veggies.. some soup and as much sushi I can. 😊

This video is so-o comforting and fun! You're always such a lovely person! Thanks for sharing!

I’m with your parents….My first stop is seafood and other proteins.

You're a good daughter.. 🤣

Went to a Chinese buffet for lunch with a worker. Mexican couple had their entire table covered with plates with many plates only have eaten. In their last order they ordered some meat cooked and as soon as it was delivered at their table, they began yelling at what about I don't remember but I knew what was going on. After the manager apologize and did not charge them, I told her it was a planned scam. Another time at a different location I saw an older lady putting friend chicken in a big purse/bag.

Everything looks so good! 😍 This has me craving seafood.

My Asian mum taught me this too and I had no idea it’s an Asian thing!😂

You are sweet daughter 🥰

You… will always prosper!!🫡🥰🥰🥰

Smart parents. No carbs at all. Seafood and fish first than meat.

You're a wonderful daughter. "Marathon of eating" cracked me up. Eat as much seafood is what I love to do too. Delightful 😊

That is so cute. I do the same thing though. When I go to a crab buffet, I start with the crab. I never get a salad or pasta or carbs. My theory however is a little different, I can get those things at home easily.

I don’t eat rice or noodles at buffet. Just meat meat meat fish and greens lol. I don’t get bloated or full. I put lemon on everything

I don’t eat carbs at all whenever I go to buffet’s and I do eat seafood as much as I can. I also take my time before I get more food ☺️

That's so sweet and such a good strategy

I'm also like your parents 😂😂

Omg my parents are the same 😭😂

Exactly. I'm with your parents on that!!!! 💯💯👍

Thanks for these PRO tips!!!!!❤️🙏🏾

You’re a good daughter 😂 I would have been excited too!
