Lime creme fraiche, pickled peppers. $8.50
Restaurant Lulu, San Francisco CA
Haha! This was a frickin’ joke! I thought this was literally a joke when they brought this out. It’s the smallest little button fritters I’ve ever seen and they bring it out with oversized serving utensils to make them look even smaller! The slivers of pickled peppers were larger than these sad fried lumps. #FAIL

Meh, another plate of sub par desserts. Nothing was especially good or tasty. I did like the ice cream and fruit the most though.
With lime aioli. $9

These were gross. They were hard, dry, and totally over-fried. There was absolutely no skill or care in the making of these.

Ugh, these were kinda gross and a waste. I don’t know why I even try the desserts at buffets because they’re invariably pretty bad.

These plump mushrooms were good, but definitely on the salty side. I think if should have been priced less too.

Ugh, this snow crab was gross! It was dry and and didn’t have much flavor. The pizza was also dry and chewy. And of course, the sushi was sub par. This was a yucky plate indeed!

This was my first basteeya and I really liked it! The crispy phyllo shell was filled with a delicious duck filling. It was both sweet and savory and had a lot of different textures.

Mmm, this peking duck was great. I loved all the delicious skin and the meat was tender and flavorful. The buns were a bit on the dry side though and they kept tearing.
