"It's unusual to find a Chinese restaurant on a skiing holiday. But there it was, on the top floor of the shopping centre in St Johann. And after a week of very nice Austrian food I fancied a change. It's very modern in appearance. Well, it's a concrete box in a concrete block. So nothing in the way of charm or Gemütlichkeit. But frankly after a week in Austria I had had about as much pine cladding and stuffed animals as I could take. The Austrians at the next table weren't having anything to do with the rice bowl and chopsticks on offer though. Here's the deal. It's an all you can eat buffet for just under 15€. I think they have a time limit if they are busy, or if you are eking out a single glass of cola while eating your own weight in fried rice. It wasn't busy, and this didn't affect us at all. Starters at one end. Main courses at the other. That staple of Chinese cooking, sushi, round the corner. They bill themselves as an Asiatic Buffet - I saw quite a few Thai dishes on the menu, though not in the buffet tonight. Well, the starters were pretty bland. Tiny spring rolls and samosas. Deep fried prawns and veggies. Crispy won ton. None of it tasted of very much at all. Help yourself to a little bowl of sweet and sour sauce, or what the waitress called garlic sauce but was I think hoi sin. It still didn't taste of very much. Certainly not garlic. My wife went for the soup and reckoned it was a big improvement on the other starters. The sushi and sashimi weren't anything stunning but did taste of something other than deep fried batter. Help yourself to pickled ginger and wasabi sauce and I defy anyone to say this is bland. Main courses. Egg fried rice or noodles - one after the other, or both at once if you like. Then heap on whatever they have on display. This was a huge improvement on the starters. I particularly liked the Szechuan duck, but I tried a little of everything and liked it all. I suspect they probably swap the dishes around a bit so it might be different things tomorrow. Lots of umame tingles - we don't get a lot of monosodium glutamate in the UK these days, perhaps because of food sensitivities. They had slices of orange and tinned lychee for sweet. I passed up on the deep fried apple and banana. I'd certainly go again but would probably skip the starters next time."
