Yic’s, 127 East Third St., North Vancouver, 985-0501 For those who pine for the step- pes of Central Asia, Yic’s is cur- rently presenting a full Mongolian buffet from Monday to Thursday for $9.95 (seniors, $7.95, and children under 12, 65¢ each year: if, for example, your offspring is two years old it will cost him, her, or you — if you are feeling gener- ous — 2 X 65¢: $1.30). ' Whether this buffet is genuine Mongolian cannot be confirmed ’ by Table Hopping researchers, the department's resources being spread somewhat thin in outer Ulan Bator. What we can confirm, however, is that Yic’s diners can choose from a selection of six raw meats (beef, chicken, pork, prawns, scallops and lamb), a dozen raw vegetables and 10 sauces. The meats are grilled on the spot by-Yie’s kitchen staff. Diners dre then treated to as- tounding displays of Mongolian horsemanship and yak husbandry. Oops. Sorry. That entertainment, I've just been informed, comes with the deluxe buffet package. - Table Hopping will report back with details in a later-episode, at ” which time we will have buffeted Mongolian style.
