However, it doesn't taste anything like the dish it is supposed to be. I give it to them that there is an actual Asian person wok-frying the food. Starting at one end of the buffet is the Chinese food station. I'm not really into these types of buffets which are devoid of any seafood (except Tuesdays) but for $10.99 and with no immediate competition, I'll eat it. The buffet makes up with quantity and selection where it may lack in quality. You will never confuse the buffet at Tulalip Casino with any of the nicer Vegas spreads but remember, you're only paying $10.99 ($9.99 on weekdays). Be polite, don't grunt like a caveman, even though you are gorging like oneĪlright, let's get this out of the way first. Do not secretly place food in your purse, it's against the rules and frankly it's disgusting Do not take a mound of food on 3 different plates, it's a buffet, there will be more food Do not eat so much that you have to puke in the washroom for the next person to see Do not take all the shrimp when there is a lineup behind you Do not pick one-by-one, the best piece of rib in front of everyone Do not take a plate, touch it, inspect it and decide it's dirty and place it back on the plate stack in front of somebody If you do not cut into a lineup at a store, do not cut into line to get that meatball I've been to this buffet quite a few times and I want to share some of my pet peeves about buffets: So if I was intending on eating crappy Chinese food for $7.99, why not pay $10.99 for that and 4 times the amount of food! Besides, you'll be much more comfortable sitting there while stuffing your face. Well, it's already $7.99 for a plate of food at Flaming Wok, the buffet is only $10.99. You might be wondering why we didn't shop a bit first and eat at the food fair. We headed over to the land of one-arm bandits and smoke to grab an early lunch (I guess brunch).

My poker face is as subtle as my reaction to good food. Our plan of attack was to snag a choice parking spot at the outlet and wander over to the Tulalip Casino. With our Nexus passes, we merrily bypassed the 2-hour lineup at the border and headed south on I-5. Having visited Woodburn only 3 weeks ago, it didn't stop us from heading down to Tulalip on the Labour Day weekend. I regularly visit the Woodburn Outlets just south of Portland and the Seattle Premium Outlets in Tulalip.

Therefore, I am no stranger to shopping at outlets. I used to prowl Redflagdeals, Slickdeals and Techbargains quite often until this food blog has taken over my life.

Believe it or not, I really don't mind shopping.
