Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet

One of the most difficult places for me to eat at when I'm watching my calories is any Asian buffet restaurant. This is especially true when I go to Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet.

There are so many choices, but I try my best to limit myself to one plate of non-dessert food and one plate of dessert. I fill my plate with a lot of vegetables, especially ones not covered in sauce, like steamed broccoli. I also try to eat some protein, usually chicken. Having one bite of several different chicken dishes is better than having a lot of any one kind.

My guilty pleasures are spring rolls and fried dumplings. I used to eat egg rolls, but the spring rolls don't feel as heavy in my stomach.

I always allow myself one plate of dessert. Today, I had one slice of cake, one pastry and two different servings of pineapple (since I didn't notice the fresh pineapple until after I'd taken some canned fruit). One of the great things about Asian buffet desserts is that they tend to not be too sweet. (It's probably a good thing that they're usually small portion sizes, too.)

I consider it a success if I can walk away from the buffet not feeling full. I know I can always go back another day if I feel like I missed out on something.
