As one of the special guests at the press conference announcing the Vietnam Pho Festival 2024 event series in Korea at the Majestic Saigon Hotel, YouTuber Nga Sumo received the challenge of eating a giant bowl of pho at the event.
Nga Sumo is a famous YouTuber with mukbang videos (eating while filming) in Vietnam, with 340,000 followers on YouTube.
Previously, when asked at the press conference, Nga modestly estimated that it would take her about 30 minutes to finish the bowl of pho given by the program, but in reality, she only needed 12 minutes and 39 seconds to "beautifully finish" the whole bowl.
The bowl of pho was specially prepared by the chef of the Majestic Saigon Hotel for Nga at the pho buffet party after the press conference, with a total weight of about 2kg including half a kilo of pho noodles, 1kg of beef ribs, 200g of beef balls, 200g of rare beef, 200g of brisket, 100g of beef tripe, 100g of bean sprouts and broth.

In particular, the rare beef and tripe were actively "asked" by Russian YouTuber Sumo to be added by the chef because the ingredients were so attractive and fresh.
While waiting for the chef to prepare, Nga did not forget to record a video to share with her fans.
Nga's performance attracted the attention of many people at the pho buffet, many people thought that the 2kg bowl of pho was still "not good enough" for Nga.

According to observation, Nga Sumo ate at a rather "leisurely" pace, while eating he still comfortably interacted with athlete Anh Vien.

Famous for her "eating healthily and quickly" like finishing 80 balut eggs in 10 minutes, but with pho, Nga emphasizes that "enjoying the flavor" is the most important, because this is the national dish of the nation.
After completing the challenge, Nga can still eat another portion of stir-fried pho, a pho roll and another bowl of pho.
