We ate at Imperial Buffet in Ajax last Thursday evening. It was, my youngest son Glenn's 29th birthday. I took him, Grace and Craig for dinner...too tired to cook. Imperial Buffet is one of those super Chinese buffets (no msg in anything) with sushi bar, roast beef and roast lamb station a bbq grill, cold jumbo shrimp and crab station, soup station with pretty good soups even lobster bisque sometimes, the other ususal stuff and a dessert bar beyond compare. Glenn and Grace enjoyed their meals, Craig is a vegetarian and found little he could eat (the noodles were greasey), I am on Atkins diet and managed to stay on it . . . until the creme brulee at the dessert bar. It was so excellent I had two servings.
Glenn and Craig were uncooperative about having their pictures taken, as ususal; Grace was at least polite. *s*
The nice waiter embarrassed Glenn by singing Happy Birthday to him loudly and we applauded joyfully! Waiter singing loudly goes with the free meal when it is your birthday, you have to show proof of birthday.
Fortune cookies came in cellophane wrappers. They say you are supposed to read your fortune before you eat the cookie or the fortune won't be true. Like a good mother, I was warning everyone...read, then eat, when Glenn laughed out loud and passed his fortune around the table. We had a good chuckle over this one.
No point trying to make sense of it. The French one below was better, not a translation of the English, just another fortune. Loosely translated, "difficulty is contagious, so is enthusiasm."
