Review: Red Hot World Buffet


Red Hot World Buffet, in Deansgate Manchester had me jumping with joy, for it's vast majority of international foods, from Italy to India, Mexico to China and Europe to the States.

The interior décor was glamorous, colour schemed with red and black. The waiters kindly directed us to our table, but the air conditioning was overwhelming, leaving us and the food cold.

For my main, I dashed over to the Italian - my favourite genre of food. To my disappointment there were only two options of pasta and three very British looking pizzas. 

The pasta was too spicy and the pizza tasted like school dinner pizzas. What I was expecting was a true, authentic Italian meal. Instead, it tasted and looked like something you buy from a supermarket and stick in the microwave for a quick fix!

After disappointment from the Italian corner, I thought I might find wonder at the Tex Mex with peri peri chicken, spicy wedges and quesadillas. However this also proved me wrong.

Without contentment, I had no choice but to quit the mains and head for a sweet finish. I circled the dessert corner three times, searching for something that would make my visit worthwhile. This was no success either. The portions were unusually tiny, not fit for satisfaction. 

Overall I was extremely dissatisfied with the quality of food. It came up to £10.64, but I must have eaten £3 worth of food. It could be that the quality of food was poor because I went at around 2pm on a weekday. I have heard they bring out the best in the evenings, when there are more customers.



I would not go again and I would not recommend Red Hot World Buffet (Manchester), rating it at 3/10!

Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Manchester

The Occupy movement began at Wall Street not long 
ago and has spread like a virus all around the world, including Occupy Manchester! 

The Occupy protesters are fighting against worldwide corruption, which seems to be on the rise even in developed countries. 

Passing the Occupy Manchester on my commute to university, I became curious about what was happening behind the large, purple banner, nailed to a few trees. 


On Wednesday 12th October after having only four hours of sleep, me and my 'production crew' set off to interview members of Occupy Manchester. 

It was cold, dismal and wet. I entered the muddy, damp park, with worn out tents dotted about; in my black, suede, knee high boots and Selfridges, fur trimming coat. My associates found it difficult to move around in their high, heeled brogues and glitzy handbags. 

I learnt that the Occupy movement is the "mouth" of the public. Their purpose is to bring back morality, to be humane. Their means to attain their objective are friendly and inspiring.

We live in a democratic society, yet we are forced to conform to unjust decisions. Arab Spring is evident of fighting against corrupt leaders. If Egypt, Tunisia and Libya can do it, so can we. It is our time to introduce real democracy!
