A Lunch Was Had!

 The first post corona lunch outing.


It has been so long I didn't really know what it was like anymore. Over two years of not going out to eat. Not that we go out often but now and again we loved going to have a Chinese buffet in either Oberwart or Güssing.

Well, this morning Bob suggested that we go to the Chinese for lunch and he didn't have to persuade me overly much. Only a few weeks ago I realized where the Chinese Restaurant in Güssing had gone. At first we assumed it had closed up due to the premises having been boarded up. Nothing unique in the horrid covid era. Driving a bit further out of town I noticed  their new premises, a lovely new freestanding house atop a small hill, overlooking town. Brilliant.

So, today at noon we arrived in the car park and couldn't believe how many cars there were. So many that both of us started to panic in case we wouldn't get a place! Well, of course we got a table. Their new premises are fabulous, spacious and quite comfortable. The buffet is still the same and we both had oodles of vegetable sushi and then a plate of rice with a yummy vegetable affair complete with bamboo shoots, shitake mushrooms and more. Nice.

It was business as usual and only one or two people wore their mask while standing at the buffet. I must say it felt a bit strange going without after such a long time, but we did it and I suppose we must wait and see if it was a mistake.

As for the restaurant; hats off to the owners for building a new and obviously expensive place in these uncertain times but judging from today's lunch, it was a good decision. I believe they will see us again many a times...and no, their prices have stayed the same. Euro 9,90 per person is more than reasonable when one considers that it includes soup, starters, mains and dessert...
