Splitting up sort've goes against the point in having a society meal. What about this?

Just round the corner, on Nicholas Street, is the International Buffet. This used to be a very posh Italian restaurant called La Terrazza and décor-wise it could do with a bit of a spruce-up. But there's no doubting the fabulous value -- and astonishing range of dishes -- to be had here. For £5.50, you can help yourself to as much as you like of starters like chicken spring roll, fishcakes, salt and pepper spare ribs, and beef dumpling with ginger. There are Thai curries, stir-fries, and somewhat incongruously, ravioli with tomato sauce and spaghetti bolognese. There are also mountains of noodles and rice, and even a "cold cabinet" with everything from poached salmon, to Japanese octopus, coleslaw and fresh fruit salad. The truly gluttonous can also indulge from a range of desserts, including gateau, ice cream and apple-pie. Sundays is a little more expensive -- £8.50. But at these prices there's not much argument about that.

Something for everyone?

hell yeah! that sounds ace!

been there before, the word 'international' is very misleading, it's basicially a Chinese buffet place, and not as good as Oriential Buffet either...

we could go for chinese one time, then go for an indian another time, or the other way round...

Last night was great... I got to play both pool AND the quiz, take photos of Tev and Lisa dancing to the Birdy Song as well as Ben and Elaine crossing cues, then cheap cocktails and waitress service plus a chinese meal (mmm crispy seaweed). Shall we go for a curry next week instead?

there are photos? delete DELETE!!!!

[Lisa]

i vote chinese purely cos i don't like indian....wait a minute, i'll create a poll...

[Tev]

I voted international buffer but I'm very happy with No 1 Oriental Buffet. For people that don't like chinese food (ie Ben) there are chips and ice cream and soup and suchlike.

[Ben]

when did we decide i didn't like chinese? I've been to the noodle bar with you all, i've been to Wagamama, i've been to a few others with other people; just cause i don't happen to eat chinese and only chinese every single day of the week doesn't mean i don't like it. I just prefer food i make myself because i very often find it difficult to justify spending a note on a meal.

[Indie Committee]

wagamama is japanese... as is the noodle bar i believe

[Ben]

well, apart from showing up my knowledge of oriental food, the above still applies..

[Random]

ben said:

what time is the meeting tomorrow then? it will be in korumba as well, won't it?

[Rob]

We'll be meeting at 8pm.

[Chris]

What's going on tomorrow again? I'm easily confoosed...

[Rob]

Meet up at Korumba for a music quiz then we are going to 5th Ave. Oh, and you can have one of my brownies... sadly, there is nothing *special* in them.

[Chris]

MUSIC QUIZ ;D ;D ;D GO TEAM CHRIS!!! WOOP-WOOP (general whoopin' and a hollerin' ensues)

+++COOKIES!!+++ (w&h continues unabated, indeed at a more frantic pace and twice as loud)

[Natalie]

Save us a brownie Swales. Go on. You know you want to.

I want one! And I'm sure they are special, at least they are for me (I can't cook anything so sofisticated!)

[Lisa]

hmm can i bagsie both a brownie and a couple of music trivia buffs for the quiz? and ben, we thought you didn't like chinese cos you said that you don't like enough things in the buffet to justify spending money. but remember last year when you used to spend money on dominoes pizza rather frequently? well then, you can fork out for chinese! i assume we have decided on chinese. where and when?

[Ben]

that's true lisa, but at the same time, i'm a twat

[Arron]

oh god...dominoes, so nice yet so expensive!

But of course.

[Tom]

*gets strange thrills from that statement*

[Natalie]

Actually Rob, d'you reckon you could arrange to have some of the brownies made "special"? Herbal pain relief combined with these fuckoff painkillers could be VERY INTERESTING INDEED.

No, scratch that. They'd probably do medical experiments on me.

[elaine]

wait im really confused, since when did rob make brownies, and for what occasion? if i come tonight, do i get one? and is there a brownie rota, so everyone has to bake at somepoint>

[Lisa]

rob made brownies when he was at home, for the occasion of no reason apart from his general niceness (unless he has some kind of evil twisted hidden agenda which i don't even want to imagine, as i'm sure it'd be horribly fiendish), i don't know if you'll get one, but i hope rob made enough for everyone, i'm sure he will have. i don't think we'll impose a rota just yet, but if anyone wants to make me brownies in exchange for brownine points i'm sure they'll be eaten...
