Size Matters: Big, Bold, and Hungry
Ready to drop the mic on size? Think of it as a buffet where the plates are the size of your dreams. If you’re a size queen like you, you deserve food that’s as thriving as your appetite.
Why We Love the Upsized Feast
- Every bite feels like a potluck of the cosmos. No wonder you’ll be queuing for the next platter.
- Late-night cravings demand delivery in big, bold portions. Skip the “I’m just a teeny T‑shirt sized” and go full-on.
- When the food’s massive, the munch is usually massive. You’ll thank the universe after a satisfying burp.
Happy Neverness
Seriously: this power‑packed platter will either make your stomach skip a beat or get you feeling jelak (just so you know the proper slang). Grab a fork and let the giant feast begin!
The Amy Yip Pau that is “just very, very big lor”
Amy Yip Big Pay: The Legendary Steamed Dumpling
Ever heard of the Amy Yip Big Pay? If you’re not a baby, a straight‑laced adult or a kantang fan, chances are this name will take you straight to the heart of Hong Kong’s culinary gossip. Even though Hong Kong’s famed soft‑porn actress “Amy Yip” might have hung up her shoes a long time ago, a steaming stack of buns named after her is still making waves at Nam Kee Pau.
The Bowel‑Humorous Size
The Big Pay is no ordinary pastry. Picture a bun that’s roughly the size of a single adult hand or about three regular char siew pau—yeah, that’s pretty huge.
Inside the Ingredient Kingdom
- Loaded with meat that practically needs a small exercise plan
- Eggs stuffed like a mini pancake fortress
- Chinese sausage that gives the rival Char Siew a run for their money
Why is it Named After Amy Yip?
We asked an elderly staff member at a Nam Kee Pau outlet what the “Amy Yip Big Pay” truly is. He merely stared straight ahead, deadpan, and delivered the classic line:
“It’s just very, very big lor.”
Translate that: a bun so big it leaves no doubt and a claimable bust of a legend. Perhaps the diva’s name adds a dash of flair and a hint of controversy—who wouldn’t want a dumpling with a famous front‑woman’s name? If you’re curious about the meaty belly of Amy Yip’s tribute, just remember: this big pay is all about the size—and enough filling to satisfy a hungry crowd.
A Covid-friendly way to eat your xiao long bao
Big Chow on the Lazy Susan
When the COVID‑era vibes make sharing feel a little too “keep your distance”
Gathered around a dim‑sum stand and your communal plate, it’s easy to forget how close a crispy spoon can feel. That was the point of the recent Instagram snap that made our food‑obsessed eyes pop.
Enter Din Tai Fung with its Steamed Pork & Dried Scallop Tang Bao—the bigger, bolder, and slightly more intimidating cousin of the classic xiao‑long‑bao.
- “70% larger” – Forget the small story‑teller pieces; these are the absolute plot‑rules.
- The spill‑over heat factor – If you’ve ever tasted the “burst‑ash” in a regular little‑bun, brace yourself. The big version comes with a broth pot bigger than your taste buds, and yes, your tongue might thank you later.
- Platonic “sharing” vibes – Share it out loud; just make sure you’re not copying the whole lazy Susan or accidentally inventing a new “table‑top relay race.”
A quick rundown on why the biggie is a hug‑or‑slap right in your mouth
- Size matters – with half the usual edges, timing becomes everything. Grab a rack of steamers before the broth realises it’s starving.
- Flavor density – More pork, more scallop, and a concentrically stronger broth; it’s like stepping from a whisper to a shout.
- The “hot‑tongue” drama – Because when you finally pull the lid back, the steam is so hot you could be mistaken for a stapler in a comedy sketch.
Two words: enjoy the “biggest” extra in your dim‑sum adventure. Just remember, the next time you share a plate, the lazy Susan becomes a playground for the bold, not just for the cute, tiny buns.
Here’s to carb-and-curry overload
Meet the Curry Monster: 35cm of Delight
Monster Curry really takes its name to the next level by serving gigantic plates of Japanese curry that practically require a small forklift just to drag them to your table.
What Makes It Monster?
- Size Matters – The restaurant offers two choices: a 35 cm plate or a colossal 41 cm one that can feed a small army.
- Plate, or Platter? – At that dimension, a plate becomes a shareworthy platter, and suddenly you’re hosting a tiny banquet.
- Flavor Explosion – It’s not just the surface area; the curry is creamy, aromatic, and thick enough to soak every piece of rice.
Why You’ll Want to Try It
Picture a cozy dinner with friends where everyone reaches for the side of this monstrous rush of flavor. The sheer volume is perfect for:
- Fueling a backpacking trip after a long hike.
- Entering a curry-competition as the ultimate over-commit.
- Giving a comfort food festival a new, larger angle.
A Quick Reality Check
Admittedly, if you’ve ever had a plate that needed a hand‑hold to lift, it’s time for a board game with this dish on your side. I’ve never seen anyone try to fold a 41 cm curry plate. They’re all about the “share an entire thing, because honestly, can you pledge to eat everything when it tastes just that good?”
Takeaway
In a world of tiny bites, Monster Curry reclaims the era of the giant plate. Swellingly vast, irresistibly flavorful, and best suited for collective feeding sprees. Bring a friend, a friend, and maybe another friend; size is definitely the limit.
Four times a burger
Fatburger’s Extreme Menu
At Fatburger you can choose a Skinny Burger—no bun, no carbs, pure protein power—or go full-on with the legendary Quad XXXXL, which packs four thick, gravy‑soaked patties nestled between two cloud‑soft buns.
- Feel like a king? Add a sunny‑side‑up, extra cheese, and a carriage of beef bacon, then maybe pick up the phone to call your cardiologist (if you’re not eating this in moderation!).
- Either way, the menu is as bold as it is delicious—just be prepared for a savory experience that’s tough to forget!
This pizza is almost as big as a car tyre
Peperoni’s XXL Pizza Is The New Celebrity in Your Hipster Studio
What’s the Headline?
At a whopping 21‑inch diameter, Peperoni Pizzeria’s XXL slice basically turns your tiny coffee table into a stage for the culinary drama.
Think about it: that pizza will probably spill over every side of the mini‑dining spot that doubles as a coffee surface in a 300‑square‑foot loft. It’s the only thing that can make your space feel a tad more “real” – and still keep it neck‑to‑neck with the rest of your apartment.
Why It’s a Big Deal for Your Guests
- All five people who can legally pop into your place will find themselves in the same, pizza‑sizzling kitchen.
- Everyone’s plates will be fast‑empty, leaving a glorious trail of crumbs.
- And the best part? You’ll still have leftovers that you can proudly brag about for up to 2025.
In short, if you’re craving a meal that can double as a conversation starter (and a mild disaster for your table), this pizza’s just what your studio needs.
A hotdog so long that it needs three Instagram photos
Capitol Milk Bar’s Mega‑Mile Hotdog: A True Food‑Lover’s Road Trip
When you think “big,” most people picture a towering sandwich or a colossal burger. But in the world of culinary extremes, length can be even more impressive.
Capitol Milk Bar’s Instagram feed showcases a hotdog that stretches a full meter—that’s 3.28 feet of sausage bliss.
Three Images, One Giant Story
The account cleverly splits the nose‑to‑tail view into three photos, letting you feel the dog’s humble beginnings, its growing middle, and the triumphant finish. It’s basically the Food Network, but with a sprinkle of Instagram flair.
Did You Know?
It isn’t just by chance that Capitol decided to go ultra-long. Two other bars—House at Dempsey and Spathe Public House—once offered similar meter‑long dogs. Since then they’ve closed their doors for good. It’s a reminder: if the whole sausage gets baked with the right heat, the business can feel like the boiling point.
Why Takeaway is a No‑Go
Of course, the regular-sized hot dog works great for a quick bite, but this mega‑size is practically a moving target. Imagine a delivery rider holding a sausage so long that it might break in half. “Hey, why did my sausage split?” they’d ask, while trying to keep the whole thing on the delivery belt.
Bottom Line
If you’re looking for a one‑meter feast that will stick to your stomach for a while, head to Capitol Milk Bar. It’s a one‑story, 500‑calorie tower you can’t share a buzz with anyone else—unless you’re okay with the risk of a pizza‑sized sausage.
