To buffet or not to buffet?

Some call it Bo-fey and some Buff-fat. Either way it represents abundance of food (Warren Buffet is another story). During this fasting month, every restaurant has its own version of sorts. After scanning through a few ads, i found it really2 pricey (low value for money in my opinion). Some are just ridiculously expensive. No doubt the business owners formulate the prices to create profit considering the variety, delicacy and all. Which is all fair in our capitalist system. Nobody forces (but only persuades/influence) you to choose their buffet.

I am just worried about the waste and gluttony it creates which i hope is not that case. But experiences dining during Ramadan tells me different. People tend to take more than they can handle and in such a kiasu manner that perturbs me and definitely not in the holy month spirit. Maybe its because they want to get their moneys worth, setting an all-you-can-eat record or just plain starving. But it just seems wrong wasting.

Dont get me wrong, its wonderful breaking fast together and celebrating it but I would like to remind myself and others to eat/live in moderate and do not waste as God intend us to. Insyallah.

"Eat and drink freely: but waste not by excess, for He does not like the wasters." (Surah Al-Araf, 7:31)
