The only buffets I don't mind are the breakfast kind.
I don't know that it matters what country you are in. Food poisoning can happen anywhere. The worst I ever had it was in Taiwan with food from lunch at the restaurant of a 4 star hotel in Taroko. But I do agree that buffets have a certain level of risk due to the difficulty in maintaining the food at the proper temperature over a period of time.
Well, admittedly, you can feast like a king with that sort of budget at Buffets as well. A (former) personal favourite of mine is the Champagne and Lobster Brunch at the Keraton hotel. It was really quite lovely, though I haven't been back in a year... heard the standards slipped a bit.
