My co-worker went to grab us some lunch on this past Sunday evening and although the food was good, I almost had a sugar rush. So calling all diabetics, if you order food from the Dragon Buffet on Pines Road, stay away from the Teriyaki chicken on the stick. The sauce is extremely too sweet for you.
I thought she was going to my favorite Chinese restaurant which is located directly across the street from LSU Health Science Center. I chose this as my favorite Chinese restaurant because the place is extremely clean and the food is excellent. Nevertheless, she called to ask me of my preference when she was already at her spot. I couldn't say, "Girl, I don't want that!" But I did inform her that I'd never eaten there before; she began to name off some stuff and I went with what was most familiar.
Why do we do that? We will go to different places to eat but we are always looking for the most familiar or foods similar to what we've already had. Isn't the joy of going to a new place....finding something different to eat? Well, I even sat back to think why haven't I ever gone to this restaurant before. The only thing I could come up with is maybe because of the name. Dragon is a symbol of the Satan and buffet says to me, "Stay Away". So in reality they already had two strikes against them as far as I'm concerned.
So if I had to rate the Teriyaki chicken, I would give it a 5 out of 10 and scream to someone dealing with diabetes, "YOU CAN"T EAT THAT!" Although I will say that the lomein was fresh and loaded with vegetables and although the strarch is never good for me, a little won't hurt. Happy Eating!
