Best Place To Pig Out
Posted on: August 11, 2009 | By Maigal

One of my favorite places to pig out is East Buffet in Flushing. This restaurant offers a great variety of Asian seafood and steak that will make your mouth water. My two favorite dishes from this place are the Peking duck and lobster. Even though I’m a Manhattan snob, East Buffet is the only place worthy of riding the 7 train all the way up to Flushing, Queens. Not only is the food great, but the price is CHEAP. They are currently running a promotion where the price is half off. You can’t get a better deal than that. For lunch, from Mon-Thursday, it’s only $7.50 and from Fri-Sun, it’s $9.00. For dinner, from Mon-Thur, it’s $14.50 and Fri-Sun, it’s $15.50. After eating at East Buffet, my stomach tends to expand by 3 inches. Make sure you wear something loose fitting if you decide to give East Buffet a try.
How to get there from Manhattan?
- 7 train to Flushing, Queens.
- LIRR from Penn station
- Zhong Hua Flushing-Chinatown Shuttle Van Service – take it from Division St between Market St & Bowery

Learn about Table Manners Etiquette
Posted on: July 22, 2009 | By Maigal
Do any of you remember the scene in Pretty Woman when the concierge was trying to teach Julia Roberts proper table manners? Well, as painful as this is to admit, as recently as four years ago, I was that character from Pretty Woman (minus the prostitution of course). I didn’t know the first thing about proper table etiquette. I was still the traditional Chinese girl from Chinatown who never really branched out. When it came to a dinner outing, all that came to mind was a rice bowl and some chopsticks. I didn’t know the difference between a salad plate vs. a dinner plate or a goblet vs. a flute. I was clueless about western table manners. I’m sure some of you out there still have no idea what a goblet is. Answer: A goblet is just a water glass.
Here is a video I found that teaches proper table manner etiquette. Knowing proper table etiquette helps when going anywhere fancy. Let’s face it, you don’t want to look low class in front of your date or clients.
