Botak Massive Eating Contest Updates

 

Underdog skinny winner Chin Seng outchomps heavyweight favourite Zack!

It was an epic showdown with 33 finalists and with the intense media spotlight, nerves were high. The all time favourite Zack was there and with all the attention from the other contestants, public and media, he was obviously feeling the heat.

33 Massive burgers were served sizzling hot fresh from the grill and a regulation standard bottle of water given to each contestant. (some wanted to bring their own glass for dipping but we wanted a level playing field). You see how serious this gets…

ChannelnewsAsia covered the epic final and the underdog winner was a true surprise.

Here are the top 3:

1st Ng Chin Sheng – 1 min 21 sec
2nd Zack Zainal – 1 min 31 sec
3rd Meng Cer – 1 min 43 sec

 Here’s another video footage of the record round at Serangoon who held the record for 6 rounds.

Watch our record holder Alvin Chenxu Weitian as he dismantles the Botak Massive and wolfs it down in 2min 07 secs.  Better pay attention to how he does it if you want to beat his time.

 

 

 1ST PLACE IN OYP- Zack 1m12s

Update: He’s been beaten by Zack (left – the one in black) in a whopping 1min 12 secs.  Watch this to see Zack ‘vacuum’ the Massive Burger. There’s a lot of fans there and shouting instructions “chew, swallow, swallow water, water”. Ahhh.

 

Last qualifying round on Wed 8th July. Get in on the action if you haven’t already. Everyone gets something.

Here are some pics of our winners and some of them in action. More updates at Facebook fan page.

For You Dad

bernie What can you say about Dad?

I mean the good stuff. He works hard to provide for the family. He tries his best to provide wisdom and direction for his children. All the while hoping that against all odds, that his children have more and do better than he did when he was growing up.

Once again Botak Jones has the privilege of offering venues to help families show their admiration and gratitude to the fathers and grandfathers of Singapore!

And like our sell out Mother’s Day promotion,  we make way for this family celebration throughout the whole Father’s Day Weekend of the 20th and 21st of June.

What do you get?

Three specially priced, value packed menus made just for the Old Man, but you can order one too. AND if four family members come with Dad on this Special Father’s Day Weekend and order any entrée over $10.00 each, why Dad’s meal is FREE.

If Grandfather comes, his meal is FREE too!    Hey, he started it!!!

We don’t get to do this but once a year for the guy, so let’s do it right, yes?

Every Dad gets a special BotakJones limited edition gift  just because the ‘Ole Botak knows that being a Dad isn’t the easiest job in the world, there isn’t any training provided but they all do their best.

Here’s what you need to do:

Our friendly staff will be happy to help you from there to make this an awesome experience.


A little Surf Special (running out) and a Turf Deal

Latest Update Friday 12th June:

We’ve had a tremendous response to the Orange Roughy and we will probably run out of them by Sunday (or earlier judging from the response). Better grab a bite if you haven’t ‘cos it ain’t coming back soon.

You see, we’ve received feedback (yes, i read all the emails that come in and listen to feedback you give to my staff) that this deep sea fish has an unusually long maturation period to reproduce and as such, it’s not being replenished in time naturally in the wild and could be endangered. There needs to be another way better way to produce them to allow them to be sustainable.

So to do our part for the environment , we are not going to be putting them on the menu after this round until our supplier has found a sustainable way to produce these fishes. (They are checking right now).  It is definitely one of the most succulent and unique tasting fish admittedly and we will monitor the situation with the supplier.

We will be having some other exciting high quality seafood items coming up. Just make sure to get on our member’s list (sign up on the right). I announce new specials to member’s first and regularly we have a member’s night tasting special. Don’t miss it!!

Get on it now.

I am just about to send out some exciting deals coming up next week.


 

Just when you thought it was all Turf promos (Wagyu beef, USDA Prime steak, Osso Bucco), we want to let those of you who are keen on seafood we have not forgotten you.

We just got a super fresh load of Orange Roughy, a fish that is caught in the Indian and South Pacific Ocean with a shellfish texture and incredible flavour.

We have decided to do a special promotion to let everyone have a chance to taste this unique and flavourful fish.  We only have a limited supply of these.

Here’s the special:

Botak Jones style chargrilled 150g of Orange Roughy with 2 sides. 

at $11.50 incl the Ole GST.

Wait! That’s not all.

We have our Turf special too for those of you who are just hardcore meat lovers and not that into seafood.

We have some fresh succulent cuts of lamb that are oh so tender.

Lamb Steak at only $16.50.

So there you have two specials to serve the Surf or Turf appetite.

Go grab it whilst it’s still here.

We continue to bring you exciting new stuff at unbeatable value as our we promised.  “Damn Good Food at A Damn Good Price”.

Your great response and support has encouraged us to try new things and helped us get better deals with our suppliers that we in turn pass on to you.

Let me know if you like these new items.
