There are many reasons to order a huge bowl of food; you might be really hungry, you’re with loads of friends, or you simply wanna experience what it’s like to be a Mukbang eater. No matter the reason, you can find a wealth of places to chow down on the likes of gigantic Thai boat noodles, jumbo chirashi bowls, and monstrous dessert platters. Here are 10 XXL dishes around Singapore for you and your friends to feast on.
My go-to comfort food has always been a bowl of Thai boat noodles with an intense broth, drizzled with golden bits of pork fat. Imagine my delight when I found that Thai Society serves a Super Size ($19++) boat noodles, giving me more than what I could have bargained for. Feeding two to three humans, this huge bowl lets you choose between glass or rice noodles, and a soup base of red tom yum, herbal soup, or ma la.
Although the ingredients are well cooked, the spicy versions of the boat noodles can be a little intense. So make sure you’re able to take the heat if you opt for the tom yum or mala versions. You’ll also get two glasses of lemongrass drink when you order the Super Size to help quench your thirst.

Another XXL Thai dish on the list is Im Thai Kitchen extra-large serving of Thai Basil Chicken Rice ($15.90) that comes with a fluffy and palm-sized omelette. The dish has a nice wok hei taste, though the fragrance of basil doesn’t permeate the dish. A major standout is the fluffy, fried omelette blanketing the mountain of white rice. Fried in bubbling hot oil, this omelette is crispy on the outside, and holds layers of soft, eggy goodness.

Take a break from the usual birthday cakes, and celebrate with House of Mu’s monstrous Dessert Platter ($48++). Filling up the board is a wonderful assortment of cakes, macaroons, and ice-cream. Expect cubes of fudgy Oreo cake with hazelnut cream, passionfruit macarons, as well as bananas with caramelised tops. Capping the entire dessert is a decadent Magnum-like bar with peanut butter ice-cream. However, do note that the house-made deserts found on the platter changes at the chef’s discretion.

You can’t call yourself a bingsu lover if you haven’t tried the Overdose Bingsu ($24.90) from Oriental Ice Bistro. A combination of three different bingsu—matcha, Oreo, and choco-banana—this huge bingsu will surely be a fun dessert to tackle with two or three friends. However, keep your IG pics to a minimum ‘cause the bingsu melts fast. Dig into this milky bowl of goodness, and you’ll find generous scoops of ice-cream, double chocolate brownies, sliced bananas, and matcha rice cakes.

Gather your posse and swing down to Steak & Bones‘ for their Giant Western Platter ($29.90), which can feed around four carnivores.

The fries are free-flow too, making it even more bang for your buck! The Western fare isn’t one of the best we’ve ever had, with some of the meat items being a tad dry, but it definitely did satisfy our hunger 100%.

Feeding up to five famished folks, Maneko’s signature 2kg Maki Roll ($49.90) has 14 thick slices of maki stuffed with generous fillings of soft-shell crab, chicken, pork katsu and tamago. The roll is drizzled with cheese sauce before being lightly torched.
Do note that this is an off the menu dish that has to be ordered in advance, as the maki takes about 20 minutes of preparation time. Even if you’re a big eater, we recommend you to avoid eating this by yourself, as it can get a little jelak.
