The trip to Homai Fusion Cuisine was definitely one we went out on a whim for. It was a long drive from downtown to Roseville--it took us nearly an hour. When we got there, there wasn't a crowd. We were seated promptly and told that we could order from their menu five items first, then three items every time following. The options were few, and the sushi rolls were basic. We were worried that full rolls would come out, but were assured when only three pieces of a sushi roll came. With that, we felt like we could try as many items as we wanted. I liked the sashimi the best--salmon (of course) and the red snapper. I ordered those two things a few times. The rice in the sushi was hard and it made the rolls terrible. What I was also surprised by was the lettuce in the rolls! Yes, I don't usually like avocado in my rolls because I'm slightly allergic but LETTUCE? How appalling.
Anyway, among those things we also got honey walnut prawns, tempura shrimp (which was pretty good), gyoza, and pan fried noodles. Overall, the experience was okay. I don't think I'll be going back ever again. I have yet to find a decent all you can eat place, but I'm inclined to trying out Fuji's because I've heard so much talk about it.
I won't even put the address of Homai because I DON'T recommend it.

sweeties
MMMMM!
I stopped by Opa! Opa! to grab lunch to-go, which by the way has pretty damn good gyros. Anyway, on my way in I see that Sweeties is connected to the restaurant. I knew I had to stop on my way out and man, I'm sure glad I did!
I wanted to get my co-worker a treat because yesterday was his birthday (the big 4-0). They have mini-cakes and all kinds of goodies. I picked a Boston cream pie with chocolate fudge outside (? is that what you call it) and a tiramisu for myself. I got a lemon bar for my boss, and macaroons dipped in chocolate for my other co-workers. I figure, I don't really do much for them and plus, we're only down to the five of us this week.
Man, that tiramisu was awesome! I have to stop myself after every few bites or else I"m gonna devour it too fast. This is definitely what I needed after studying last night and taking my final and having to write a paper/study/take a final these next couple days! CHOCOLATE HEAVEN!
They even put in a little glass bowl, so that's my souvenir from the awesome piece of dessert. Too bad I've got cocoa powder all over my skirt!

Hometown Buffet
Alright, alright...I'm probably going out on a whim doing a review of Hometown Buffet but I thought it'd be an interesting idea, as I was sitting Sunday morning, in front of my third (shocking!) plate at the restaurant.
I woke up Sunday morning, having a strange craving for their waffles. This usually happens every now and then, not as much as before when my family and I went nearly every weekend after church on Sundays. I was just looking forward to their soft, warm rounds of waffles drenched in strawberries and syrup. Mmmm.
So we get there, it's not too busy and we're overwhelmed by all the smells coming from the many dishes served under the heat-lamps. I start off, of course with my waffles, adding a poached egg, some sausage links and hashbrowns to my plate. The boyfriend starts with a salad. For breakfast?! Well, that's what goes with the autonomy of a buffet. You get to eat whatever it is that you like, provided by the restaurant, of course. I also managed to eat some fried chicken, an omelet, salad, and other things. I ended my meal with a vanilla/choc ice cream cone.
Mmmm. Where else can ya get fried chicken and ice cream for breakfast?! (Of course, you can have it anywhere else, like at home, but I think Hometown Buffet is cool...)
