About the 2.8kg Pho Challenge
The challenge entails devouring a colossal 2.8kg Super Bowl of Pho in under 20 minutes, comprising 1,050ml of stock, 750g of slurp-worthy Pho noodles, 600g of succulent beef (including a mix of rare beef, brisket, tendon, and beef), and 360g of fresh bean sprouts, along with 45g of fragrant greens including basil, onions, and spring onions.
The competition consisted of four preliminary heats.
