For a professional eater who’s eaten mountains of chicken rice, chicken wings and hokkien mee in less time than a typical train ride across the country, it’s perhaps only natural that Zermatt Neo would become a food “influencer”.

Since everyone’s jumping on the local food bandwagon with National Day around the corner, the competitive eater recently took his skills to an all-you-can-eat Nasi Lemak buffet at Ibis Hotel. By now you’d already know what comes next — Neo absolutely destroyed the buffet, noshing down a giant plate of coconut rice with a heaping pile of assorted sides.

Dude really made his money worth at $10+ for the price of entry to the buffet. The “influencer” part of the whole thing is that you can get a free scoop of ice cream along with your meal if you quote “Food League” at the restaurant. A look through his Facebook page will reveal that he’s been quite busy making official appearances and videos at eateries that want to promote themselves. All the power to Neo we suppose — the man’s turned his food-inhaling skills into a profitable side hustle.
