Hong Kong’s Bakehouse bakery might be famous for its super-flaky sourdough crust egg tarts, but could you eat 100 of them at once?
Singaporean Zermatt Neo did just that on a recent visit to the city. He also downed 7kg (15 pounds) of char siu (Cantonese-style barbecued pork) with rice, a popular dish from the Sun Kwai Heung restaurant in Chai Wan on Hong Kong Island.
Consuming large amounts of food is pretty normal for Neo.
He is, after all, Singapore’s “king of competitive eating”, with his social media platforms – he has more than 517,000 YouTube subscribers and 582,000 followers on Instagram – proof that there is a huge appetite for what he does.
For a recent shoot in Japan he ate 8kg of omurice, an omelette made with fried rice and thin, fried scrambled eggs. It went down in a record time of 23 minutes.
