Jim and Ramona: Lunch buffet, iced tea

Cathay House, as regular readers of our blog will know, is one of our two favorite Chinese restaurants in Waco (the other being Magic China). But we'd never been to the Sunday lunch buffet until this week. Based on a recommendation from one our readers, we decided to give it a try and were not disappointed.

Cathay's lunch buffet doesn't have as many options as some of the other Chinese buffets in town, e.g. Summer Palace. But everything on the buffet is wonderful. They had three soups, including chicken rice which Jim tried for the first time. In the entree section were several dishes with a variety of meats and levels of spiciness. I ate a little of several of the chicken-based dishes and also wanted a sample of the pepper steak, which is a dish I rarely order but like a lot. Their pepper steak was one of the best I've ever tasted. Jim and I agreed that the beef was so tender and tasty that we want to order that again sometime.

Jim and I also agree that we'll go to the Sunday brunch again soon. However, we must warn you that it's a lot more crowded and noisy then than during weeknights when we enjoy the quiet.

Jim's fortune: You will soon be in the limelight.
Ramona's fortune: Your lucky number for the week is the number two.
