Speaking of buffets, I watched this video recently of a famous buffet restaurant in France. Best in the world?

For those lazy to watch the entire vid, the price of the buffet was €62.90, which is amazing value for the quality.

Hmm maybe...didn't think of that. But I can also see customers buying the soy milk and nothing else so they prob still earn less.

Actually we have very good buffets at lower prices here in Singapore but yeah for France or even just Western Europe in general, €62.90 is almost a bargain. Just the cheese selection alone is like a buffet in itself.

I must say the French buffet looks more appetizing not just because of the larger range and more expensive items but the SG60 buffet like too much carbs. Maybe Singaporean food like laksa, lor mee, nasi lemak don't really lend themselves well to a buffet setting...

That's true. There are quite a few good buffets here especially in some of the big hotels.

Speaking of speaking of buffets...I found a channel dedicated to local buffets. Hope they'll upload more videos soon.
