All-You-Can-Eat Chaos in Taiwan: Over 30 Fried Shrimp Stolen, Sparking Outrage!

A Taiwanese buffet descends into conflict as one diner's excessive behavior ruins the experience for others.

Taiwanese all-you-can-eat restaurants often have rules about how much food customers can take at once. However, a recent incident at a popular buffet chain, 饗食天堂 (Xiǎngshí Tiāntáng), has ignited online controversy.

A user on the PTT forum reported that during a company outing, a diner grabbed an estimated 30+ fried shrimp the moment they were brought out, completely depleting the serving tray. This left over a dozen other waiting patrons without the opportunity to take any. The post questioned the etiquette of such behavior in a buffet setting.

This action caused an immediate argument and verbal exchange among diners. The incident underscores ongoing debates about the appropriate conduct in all-you-can-eat establishments, where the balance between enjoying a good value and respecting others can be a challenge.
