Pop Quiz: What’s Wrong With This Chinese Food Picture?

New Buffet By the LB. 

I hit up the new by the lb. buffet at Hing Won (on 48th btw. 5+6th) for the first time on Friday, and here’s the damage.  It was a little over $6.  Not too bad, but not great either- and I think Sun Yip/Ho Yip on 45th btw. 5+6th is probably better (plus they have the price drop at 2:15, which can’t be beat.)  I think I’ll probably stick with the right side of the counter when I go to Hing Won, and order things off of their more authentic menu.

I did, however, break one of my cardinal rules of by-the-lb. buffet eating.  Can you spot it? What’s wrong with this picture? (If you want to cheat, you can look at my rules for by the lb. buffet eating.)

    The fake shrimp was the subject of a few epic ML entries some time ago. I recall the consensus being “fake but tasty.” Maybe that was for the ones with the fake grill marks only?

    But yeah, way too much rice. Stick with the protein!
