FOOD EATING COMPETITION AT OLYMPIA COLLEGE

Olympia College, Ipoh campus had recently organized a Food Eating Competition at its campus. An

annual event, the Food Eating Competition is a mini Fear Factor where participants were given a number 

of things to eat. They will have to finish everything at the fastest time possible.

This year, the theme was “The 5 Senses” – bitter, sweet, sour, salty and spicy. Participants in teams of 3

were served 3 burger buns each, with ingredients like bitter gourd, condensed milk, lemon, tofu liberally

sprinkled with salt, and lots of chopped bird’s eye chillies.

Teams were given 5 minutes to do their burgers as they wished. Then, at the word “GO” they had to

gobble up their burgers in the fastest time. The team that finishes first has to put up their hands to signal

that they have eaten all their food. Plastic lined baskets were also provided in case students needed to use

them.

A total of 15 teams took part in the competition. Each team had to pay a nominal fee to join the

competition. The lobby of Olympia College, Ipoh, was packed with people as friends and supporters

cheered the teams on.

The winners were a team representing the Young Achievers’ Society (YAS) who finished in total of 9

 burgers in 8 minutes. The prize for the competition was RM 150 cash. Throughout the event, there were

lot of laughter and shouts of encouragement.

According to Ms Cindy Chong, the Principal of Ipoh campus, “We organized the Food Eating

Competition so that the students can get together and have fun while understanding team dynamics and

need for positive support in achieving a goal.”
