For this video, we headed down to Alijiang Silk Road Cuisine at VivoCity to CREAM 5 girls in an insane Chinese Hamburger Eatoff! Cheryl, the photographer who shot my recent vanity shoot, introduced me to 4 of her close friends who aptly call themselves "The Bikini Empire" due to their shared interests in fitness, the sun and yachts. On top of all that, they are supremely competitive and challenged me to a 30-minute eating contest - 1 versus 5!
We opted for Chinese-style hamburgers, a specialty at Alijiang, which consists of unleavened bread stuffed with chopped up beef seasoned in soya sauce, chilli oil and spring onions. The beef was heavily spiced and had notes of cumin while having a good umami kick from the soya sauce and a pleasant herbal-ness from the spring onions. The spiciness from the chilli oil melded it all together into a scrumptious dish. One criticism was that the bread was rather dense and tough, as is the nature of unleavened bread, and if left out for long like we did, it would get very hard.
I managed to maintain my pace throughout and beat the girls comfortably, eating 25 hamburgers to their 21, for a total of 46 Chinese Hamburgers eaten. Cenna surprised me the most, eating 9-10 on her own and even continuing after the challenge was over. It was a fun challenge to showcase the massive gulf between a trained professional and your average eater.
Alijiang Silk Road Cuisine serves a host of Chinese fare, with a beautiful view of Sentosa and a very aesthetic interior. If you feel like Chinese after a beach day, look no further than Alijiang.
