Sometimes, all you really want in life is to take a second helping of your favourite food… Or a third… Or fourth… Or fifth. Well, why take extra helpings when you can have one whole GINORMOUS dish to yourself?! And when I say ginormous, believe me, I really mean ginormous. Presenting to you, some of the biggest, bestest, most bombastic foods from around the world!
Ready? Let’s get started!!
1. Beat the heat with this mind-blowingly huge Ice Kachang!

WOW-WEE, will you just look at that?! This place sure knows how to jazz their ice kachang up, what’s with those fruit loops, skewers of fruits, waffle biscuits, generous amounts of ice cream, and of course that humongous mound of ice topped with so. much. syrup. How many days do you think it took to guzzle this monster up?

2. How many people does it take to finish this sushi at the sushi bar?

The answer: I have no idea. I mean, just look at this beast. Loaded with no less than TWENTY FOUR ingredients, this could probably be your breakfast, lunch, and dinner… For a few days. One thing’s for sure, though: this eight-inch thick “Generous Roll” is probably one of the healthiest ginormous food options out there. Hey, you can’t get any healthier than sushi, amirite?
Where you can find this monster: Umewaka Restaurant, Anjo City, Japan
3. This colossal burger ain’t gonna finish itself

Layers upon layers upon layers. Two enormous beef patties, a generous helping of grilled ham, massive chunks of fried onions, hearty amounts of melted cheese, topped off with just the right amount of veggies before this beast topples over… Somebody call 911, just in case someone gets a heart attack from trying to finish this thing!

Ever seen those photos of supposed “monster milkshakes” making their rounds on social media? Well, move aside, all you pretenders, and feast your eyes on the mother of all monster shakes! I mean, for goodness’ sake, there’s a tap at the side! Now if that’s not a sign of this milkshake being of epic proportions, I don’t know what is.

5. Do-nut tell me you do not want to try this.

Okay, so this looks a little wee bit terrifying. But seriously, would you pass up the chance to take a bite out of this beauty?? I sure wouldn’t! Although I’d probably go easy on the whipped cream… Too much of a good thing can be pretty overwhelming, ya know what I’m sayin’?
Where to find this monster: Sadly, I have no idea. Looks home-made, though, so maybe you might want to attempt whipping up a storm in the kitchen yourself?
6. How much laksa broth can you swallow before your tongue’s on fire?

For what it’s worth, it’d probably be worth it. Think: a giant bowl of piping hot laksa, filled with oodles of noodles, prawns, sotong, tau pok, and of course, steamy, savoury, piping-hot laksa soup. Look, they even serve it in a see-through bowl for you to admire this gigantic beast in all its glory! I wonder if this dude ever managed to finish this?
Where you can find this monster: Batu Kawa, Kuching, Sarawak

7. Feelin’ thirsty? How about one… or two… or a few cups of teh bing?

Look, it even comes with your very own ladle! Even with large helping of ice, it’s still a pretty insane serving of teh bing nonetheless! I wonder where they got the gigantic cup from, though?
Where you can find this monster: The Roof, First Avenue, Bandar Utama Damansara, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia
8. Curry puffs just don’t get any bigger than this.

Aptly named the “Karipap King”, this is indeed the king of all karipap, or curry puffs. I mean, just look at how insanely big this thing is! Old Chang Kee would be jealous.

9. Is this the real life, or is this just fantasy??

One thing’s for sure though… This massive monster didn’t get into the Guinness World Records for being the largest commercially available hot dog for nothing! According to the inventor himself, yes, he has finished one whole serving by himself – over the course of a few weeks.

10. You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Image credit: This Can Only Happen in Japan
And no other ice cream deserves as big a shout out as this beauty right here! From top to bottom: strawberry, coffee, milk, chocolate, sesame, grape, ramune soda, and matcha. Like woah, 8 flavours in one cone?! I’m totally sold! And the massive size, of course. I would totally down this baby by myself.

12. Mirror, mirror, on the wall… Who’s the tallest of them all?
Image credit: Adora Aida
Me, me, ME, screams this tissue prata! This towering thing would definitely be taller than some of the kiddos running around. Good thing it’s pretty light and hollow on the inside, or some of us are seriously going to have some massive problems when trying to finish this. Imagine how fun deconstructing this cone would be, though!
Where you can find this monster: R.K. Eating House, 1 Kensington Park Road, Singapore
13. Have your milo and drink it… All 3 litres of it.

Move over, beer towers, milo towers are the in-thing now, and no one really does it as well as Srisun Express!

Just look at this dude’s face of sheer terror… Can’t blame him, though. If it were me doing this challenge by Pho Garden, that would totally be my face, too. But hey, #yolo, amirite? The time to do this challenge is NOW. Plus, boasting rights if you manage to finish this beast of a bowl!

This thirteen-tiered, custom-made, monster of a wedding cake is seriously… Wow. Just, wow. Just how many guests does this happy couple have?! Either ways, this would most definitely take days to finish – that is, if the sugar rush hasn’t gotten to your head yet! Maybe they cut out massive chunks from it for their guests to take home? Also, how many eggs do you think went into this???
Where you can find this monster: FROSTED ART BAKERY & STUDIO, 1546 Edison St, Dallas, TX 75207, United States
16. Does this look a-paella-ing to you?
Image credit: JJPaella.com
Yes, it sure does! I have a few questions for this guy, though. For one thing, where did he get his giant spoon from? And his ginormous paella pot?? Seriously, it’s enormous.
Where you can find this monster: This man goes around the U.K. with his giant paella pot, cooking LIVE at events!
17. This is lookin’ pretty egg-normous to me!
Image credit: Come Home, Louisiana
Indeed, this omelette is made up of no less than five thousand eggs! If you think about it, that’s about 13 to 14 eggs per day for a whole year – eggs overload much? Unfortunately, this dish only makes a magical appearance once a year, during Abbeville’s Giant Omelette Festival. If you ever find yourself there on the 6th of November… You know what to do.
Where you can find this monster: Abbeville, Louisiana, USA
18. And finally… A giant onion, just because.
