Gigantic-sized food is usually something that you would find in America or several European countries due to their much larger appetites.
It is not really a common food trend around Asia, but in recent years, several Asian countries have started to produce more and more larger-sized food.
Is it because the Asian’s appetite has started to grow as well? Not exactly, it is more like the oversized food has become the latest food trend nowadays!
Here we listed down some of the popular gigantic-sized food in several Asian countries, so next time when you decide to visit the country, remember to try them out!

Similar to a beer tower, but is filled with iced milo instead. The drinking trend first started in Singapore which usually costs between SGD10 to SGD15. The drinks can be shared among 5 to 10 friends depending on the height, unless you have the confident to finish it all! Currently, there two places in Singapore which sold the drinks – RK Eating House and Srisun Express. Both also taste great but the milo tower at Srisun Express is much higher!

The drink is not as huge as a milo tower, but it is twice as large than normal-sized drinks, and it is a growing trend in Malaysia. Though big cup drink is not exactly the official name, the trend reportedly started in Kedah by a street stall named Cowboy Coffee. (The owner and staffs there dressed up as cowboys too!) You can find this drinks at almost every street stalls in Malaysia, but we would suggest you to try the original one in Kedah as it tasted the best (personally), and it is cheaper than other places which is MYR4 while other places usually sell it at MYR5 or above.
