The most expesive quick lunch ever

How much you ask? about 650 NT per person. Lets lay down a little back story. I was traveling around Taiwan with my mom and we had just pulled into the Tainan train station after a 3 hour trip from the east coast. My mom had decided to book us into the Hotel Tainan, for one because its so close to the train station and for two she wanted to stay in at least one nice hotel while she was here. So we got in there and we were both pretty hungry. We saw that they were still surving lunch in their buffet, so we were thinking to get our bags put away and run down there and have some food. They kept telling us that Lunch was almost over and that we should wait for the afternoon tea, but we were thinking why wait, you guys are still open and we dont want to eat too much, so we will just go down there and eat a little (I was thinking it was free for guests, which was damn stupid of me). So anyhow, we got down there and they were really hesitant to let us sit down, like they needed to change the table cloth and set up the table for us, I was thinking, how stupid it was when we were hungry, guests at the hotel and just wanted to eat a little. So after me complaining a bit and them sitting us down we went and got all kind of food from their buffet thinking the buffet was free. Oh well, we didnt know. You're supposed to order a main dish, too, which is suposed to make it worth the money. We didnt, but they brought us Steak and lamb chops anyway, that was a little strange. I was thinking, what if we dont eat steak. So we got pretty full on steak, lamb, smoked salmon, sweet and sour fish, curry chicken, fruit and ice cream. Do I have to mention that we were really eating it fast because they were about to start the afternoon tea. Anyhow, we stuffed ourselves as fast as we could and then found out how expenive it was. I think I have some pictures that I will post at another time.
