When I migrated here in the States at 1979, and was invited to a chinese “buffet” by a Pinoy neighbor, I was surprised that it was “”all you can eat”portion. I asked my friend about it and he said yes that is how the establishment interpreted it (he admit it is verbally wrong), and so many people got used to it. I still though correct people about it and I told my own kids the same. When we got stationed in NC in 2008, we dined in a family owned ranch-farm turned restaurant (serving only on weekends), which are serving “all you can eat” southwestern chicken dishes & fixings” but is served in your own table. And when you want more, you order as you wish, and again you are served by the waitresses.

So I don’t care if people just got “used”to the term, I still will continue the correct usage of the phrase, and will impart same things to my grandchildren.

cai, I don’t think it was meant literally, the gentleman asking the question was named “Jesus”… so I don’t think it was misused in Martha’s comment above…

Thanks for this tip MM! I’ll try to visit this place end of this month. I’m glad that they’re open from 12nn-7pm since I wake up late on Sundays! :)

Oooh, a “discussion” buffet…I don’t think it’s a pig’s meal when I mix the food on my plate. Say that to the millions of Filipinos who do so and let’s see what they think. It’s my plate and my food and I’ll call it anything even if it looks like food for the pigs. No smart-ahoy can tell me what it is…

“Buffet” and “All-You-Can-Eat Buffet” are definitely not one and the same thing. Some people may think they are, but they are simply inaccurate or wrong. Perception is one thing, fact another.

I think MM is correct w how buffet is used here. I looked it up at wikepedia. That’s why I think there are so many miscommunication / misconception between the english language and how we pinoys translate it in our own version. MM did not write – buffet “ala pinoy ” di ba.just my thought.
