    Haha... well, if the fish eye is anything like the human eye, you were probably just crunching on the lens.

    It becomes hardened (in humans) due to cataracts.

    Eat china food in chinatown, where there's a crap load of competetion and picky tastes. It drives the price down and the qualtiy up. Also a nice couple of vietnamnese and restaurants there too incase you want some thing that's clean and fresh. Also try dim-sum, really cool way of eating chinese food. I don't really know the names of any restaurants in english since they all seem so generic and forgetable.

    The Chinese buffet that is in the same shoping center by IKEA on I-10 has good food. I work at 290 and hollister and there are 3 chinese buffets right around here and we drive over to I-10 to go to that one because the food is so much better.

    The Best Chineese buffet in town is the one on Westheimer just west of the Beltway across from Mr. Carwash. Can't think of the name but it is huge and the variety is excelent and the quality of the food is great.

    That place is actually pretty good for americanized chinese food. Their House Lo Mein is the bestest for fast food but it's a bit on the expensive side for asian food.

    Lucky Village? Haven't been there in a long time. Maybe I should check it out again.

    Tan Tan is pretty good, it's located right behind a Popeye chickens. I don't know if the Popeye chicken is still there though. Have been 3 to 4 years last time I went there. Starting from Tan Tan and walk towards the Supermarket nearby in the same strip, you will encounter a small Chinese restaurant(Nan Bei He) without a English name to the right side of the supermarket, walk inside you'll find waitresses using a computer on the counter to take orders from lined up customers, which is a rare thing to see in Chinese restaurants. The food there is pretty good and price is moderate.

    Yeah I know. I don't remember it being very good at all, but all-you-can-eat is good. Do you know any better all you can eat buffets?

    What are some other good Chinese restaurants. I'm talking about the smaller less known ones. Most of the ones mentioned I've heard of.

    Good all you can eat is happy panda, try not to venture outside of chinatown for order dinners if you want good food. There are a couple that's outside of chinatown but I usually try not to take the risk and try something. Also PF Chan's is actually fairly authentic, but damn expensive for chinese food.

    I am not big on authentic dishes like fish pots and things like that. But I am a huge PF Chang's fan. You will find me at the bar at the one on Westheimer every other day.

    Back when I lived in England, they really perfected the duck in crepes over there. Man it was wonderful over there, but I have had it here a couple of times and it just wasn't the same.
