(Edit- now I think you might be talking about Foody Goody)

Yeah, Foody Goody! Nice one Ken.

That was the one in the strip mall under that 2nd level parkade, right?

Best meal I ever had was a $14 buffet, ate a ridiculous amount of lobster and crab and it all tasted better than any seafood I've ever had.

These were rock lobsters? If they had claws they weren't local lobsters.

I have been in the kitchen of that place you couldn't pay me enough money to eat at that place.

Bonavista Peking House has an awesome lunchtime buffet.

No idea, they were the freshest and best tasting I've eaten by a huge margin though so they couldn't have been from that far away. Every other time Lobster tastes kind of rubbery and stale.

Oh man... I remember going to food goodie with my family in the 90s back when we were new immigrants and my parents wanted to fit in with the white folks.

Also the stale, half frozen shrimp and the mystery meat Mongolian grill were considered like the best thing ever to 13 year old me.

No Treasures of China was in the strip mall under the parkade. That is now Goodwill.

Foody Goody was in Deerfoot Mall.

Oh yeah.. Deerfoot Mall used to be awesome, they had all kinds of stuff that seemed to be unique to there. Now it's the same as the others.

Pretty sure the parkade one was Foody Goody. Treasures of China was nearby but faced McLeod. Foody Goody was on Bonaventure by the Toys R Us.
