I still remember when I was very young, I have always wanted to eat Sushi King yet my dad stopped me from eating it for a reason, its raw not good for your stomach yet he tell me how nice and how nice when he went out with his client and that time I still remember I was like around 13 or 14 years old. Till the very first branch that open in Penang as I can remember it was at 1-Stop, Midlands Park which was the most hit mall for all the youngsters to hang out and the popularity of Sushi King grew from there till to date, Sushi King had establish in Malaysia for more than 13 years already. They had made themselves as the largest Japanese kaiten restaurant chain in Malaysia and have 57 branches nationwide and still expanding.
Then, they plan to organize a eating competition. I have always watch in youtube and my friend forward me a link that how the Japanese compete themselves in this kind of game show or eating competition yet a popular icon that know by many people around the globe Takeru Kobayashi one of the champion in eating competition and now I got this invited opportunity by Sidney(Bigboysoven) to witness myself on this very first eating competiton that going to be held here in Sushi King, Midvalley recently.
Sushi King would be the very first Japanese Restaurant that organizing Big Bowl Challenge. The aim is to take this opportunity of economic downturn by giving a chance to their value customer a taste of the competition who manage to finish the bowl in less than 10minutes. As the challenge for the Big Bowl contains 750g Japanese Buckweat noodles (soba) (equals to 5 portion compare with the normal Soba noodles-RM38.80) & 1200 ml shoyu based soup.
Due to overwhelming response that they previously organize in September 2009 now they are organizing 2nd round of Big Bowl Challenge Competition and had called upon the previous contestest that some participate before in the challenge during the campaign back for this round.
and the champion stand a chance to walk away with RM1000 Sushi King Voucher + its name would be in Malaysia Book of Record with the title Fastest Japanese Noodle Eater.
