There's nothing more challenging to a junk food connoisseur than an all you can eat buffet. So when the opportunity presents itself everything and all ties are abandoned. This even resulted in me ditching a colleague on a pre-arranged lunch for a more appealing offer. It was also a simple case of "bros over hoes" but I do admit that I am very much a lunch whore too.
Today a group of us went along to the Red Hot World Buffet in the centre of Manchester. This is a buffet chain that recently added a new branch on Deansgate and more importantly within walking distance from my office. The website claims to have more than 300 dishes and that it's a food lover's fantasy, the latter I certainly don't disagree with.
They serve all types of food including Oriental, Italian and Indian hence the World in it's title. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter anything that was red hot but I do have a rather high threshold for spicy food compared to the Average Joe. More about the food though, after all that's why what I was there for. The starters seemed to be fresh unlike other buffet places where they quite clearly use frozen produce. The mains are quite hit and miss with curry dishes being very watery. The desserts option though, is quite immense with a selection of around 30 different options.
Overall, it is precisely what I expected from a buffet place offering foods from around the world. Kids and dessert lovers will certainly enjoy the place but for those that aren't you'll still be slaying away. Just don't visit on a lunch hour when you need to return to work in the afternoon, especially when you have an uphill walk. Alternatively don't have four plates of food but it would be rude not to!
