New Ocean City
Like ordering a Chinese takeaway... and eating it in the middle of the restaurant. With loads of these buffet–style dining places popping up wherever you bleedin' look, there's a chance that by next ear we'll all be sick to the back teeth of them. For now though, we can't get enough of the £10.50 all–you–can–stuff–yourself–with buffet, even if it means we have to fight people in the queue to get the last duck pancake. You can wander back and forth as many time you like, but only the real hardcore folk can pace themselves well enough to squeeze in gateau and ice cream for pudding. The food isn't the most exquisite you'll ever taste, but there's plenty of choice – sweet potato fritters with chips and sweet and sour saunce anyone?

10 Nov 2009Sunday lunch at the New Ocean City is the worst experience that I ever had. Some of the food was obviously re-heated, and burnt. When I initially complained to one of the waitress about the food, we were ignored. We ordered (2 adult and 1 child) 5 dim sum dishes and the special house noodle between us, and out of the whole order, we can only managed to eat one of the dim sum dishes because we were so hungry by this point. When I asked for the bill and had a quiet word with the manageress about the standard of the food, I was basically told that I don't have any taste or know anything about Chinese food (by the way I am Chinese and my son who was with me, who usually eats just about anything, couldn't even stomach the food on offer, as it was so bad). We basically paid nearly £30 for one small dim sum dish that we managed to eat.
