16 eggs and 2 kg prawns

Ever heard of the kiasu Singaporean?

Andrew runs the Road Side Stall Hotpot Restaurant. The restaurant serves steamboat buffet-style, where diners can order as much meat, fish, seafood and vegetables as they like. Last week he had a young couple who ate their way through the buffet from 6 p.m. till 11 p.m. They achieved a record of sorts by eating 16 eggs* between the two of them. The other items were not neglected either, not surprisingly, the prawns consumed came up to 2 kg; we are talking about 60 medium sized prawns worth of cholesterol here.

* Eggs remain in short supply, and the prices have gone up about 5 times since the bird flu cases started in Malaysia.
