New Chinese Buffet in Amposta
A new Chinese buffet has opened on the site of the old bowling alley in Amposta. It is next to Cafoc hardware store on Avenido Catalunya.
We visited this last week, and the amount of food available was amazing. It is owned and run by the people who use to run Casa Wang and still run Wang Bazaar. The cost is 8.50 euros per person excluding drinks for a lunchtime and 9.50 euros per person on an evening. It is well worth the money.
You can choose from a hot or cold buffet, as well as sushi and having the chef freshly cook your chosen raw food. We went on a Monday night quite early and it soon filled up. There is a smoking section in the restaurant which is closed off from the main area.
Before I receive comments, asking if I have shares in this restaurant - No I dont. The only interest I have is in sharing knowledge of a good restaurant with you.

Carnival is here!
Next week sees the official start of Spring here in Spain with Carnival. A chance to chase out the devils of Winter an welcome the spirit of Spring.
Most towns and villages around out area are celebrating Carnival, and do so in a variety of ways. Both Godall and Vineros hold the battle of the flour (yes I have spelt it correctly) This is where you attend the local square and throw baking flour at each other for a hour or so. Its great fun but always means a queue for tthe shower and a overfilled washing basket after. Take a tip for me and park your car out of the way if you visit, as I am still getting flour out of my car from two years ago.
Vineros and Santa Barbara are also holding a confetti battle during carnival.
Also please remember that the village children of Freginals also celebrate carnival by going around the village at lunchtime banging drums, wearing big heads and knocking on door to get sweets. If you get the chance, please go up and watch.
