Dinner At Chow Time -Grill and Buffet

We were down at Panama City doing a project ,and one evening we decided to go for Chinese Buffet dinner. Our friends told there was one newly opened restaurant that have a great buffet.

We went to Chow Time. If one does not know, he will not realized that he is going to an Oriental restaurant . Located at the corner of Highway 77 and 23rd Street, this restaurant has a big sign saying Chow Time -Grill and Buffet. As you entered, you are supposed to get a ticket and wait for your hostess to find you a table. They are so packed.The restaurant is beautifully decorated , light and cozy color. In the middle ,sits about 6-8 Hot and Cold Buffet Bar.

They claimed to have more than 250 items, ranging from Chinese, American,Mexican and
Japanese food.On the Sushi bar is a variety of Sushi's,California Roll, Eel Roll,Tuna and Salmon. But the sushi is tiny, the size of a nickel. They need to roll the sushi bigger.

On the hot bar are popular items like Broccoli Chicken, Beef,Lomein, Rice noodles,sweet and sour chicken, Terriyaki Chicken,Pepper Steak, Mongolian Beef and a lot of different kind of Shrimp, Fried, Grilled and Spicy.

On the Grill items are Grilled Salmon, Pork Chop and Chicken. The best if the Bar b q
Beef Ribs. These are big Beef Ribs with a tangy fruity flavor. The Salmon pieces are
slowly grilled with some spices.

There is also a Salad Bar ,A Fruit Bar and a Dessert Bar . There are a few kinds of cakes there is really good, Chocolate Cake and Angel's Food Cake.Also Banana Pudding and Rice Pudding. Fruits comes with Honey Dew Melon,Cantaloupe, Oranges, Apples , Lychees,Grapes and Water Melons.

Different kinds of soup are Egg Drop Soup, Hot and Sour Soup and Wonton soup.
Service is okay, not perfect. I think because they were so busy.

The price is very reasonable - only $6.99 per person with tax, drinks were extra $1.25. The ticket for 5 of us was $40.00 plus $5.00 tips.
Very satisfying and full lunch. I do recommend you to Chow Time if you do visit Panama City's Beach.

Graduation's Dinner At Chef's Lee II,Columbus,Ga

At Last, my youngest son Joel is graduating from High School. After all those years of helping with homework and assignment, driving to and fro to school and after school activities, I am ready to relax now. But still have to worry on what future path he is going to take. He opts for Culinary Arts, so wish him all the best.

After the graduation ceremony at University Hall,Columbus State University , we decided to have dinner at TGIF but when we reached there , they told us we have to wait another 1-2 hours. In fact there were not that busy. Every was hungry so instead we decided to go for Chinese Food and Chef's Lee II, located at Bradley Park Drive.

Chef's Lee is one of the upper class Chinese Restaurant in Columbus, It is very beautiful, like a palace. As you walked in there is a bridge over the pond with Koi fishes. Inside is decorated with antique Decor. Very vintage look. On the background is soft Chinese music.

There were 11 of us plus a baby, David. Joel, Mandy, Tham and Girlfriend , Charmant and Girlfriend, Henry, Me and Aaron, Jonathan and Rachel. Joan and John did not come as she was mad with Mandy.

We ordered Dumpling and Pu Pu Platter for appetizer. Looks like the Pu Pu Platter was not enough. For the main almost everyone ordered the Mongolian Beef, which is one of the popular dish served here. I ordered Crispy duck and one of the girls ordered Chicken Lo Mein.

Took about 15 minutes for the food to be served. We did not have to wait too long as they were not too busy after 9.30 pm.They served quite a lot of food. Everyone loved the Mongolian Beef, but my crispy duck were a bit dry. I also ordered me a Pina Colada. It was good.

After dinner, the waiter brought us the ticket with fortune cookies and fresh cut oranges. Ticket came up to $129.00 plus $20.00 tips.

I do recommend Chef's Lee if you want some good Chinese Food with Great environment. Cost is not too high. And they also Korean food , you have to ask for the Korean Menu.Every Year Chef's Lee is one of the Top Ten Chinese Restaurant in the United States Top Chinese Restaurant Competition. And this year, Chef's Lee is one of the top in the International Restaurant Competition in Beijing. Go try some good authentic food in Chef's Lee.
