Conk Out at SAFRA Mount Faber

Earlier on in the month, SAFRA Mount Faber introduced the Great Chilli Challenge at a Weekend Fair called Conk Out. It was in conjunction with the school holidays and everyone was encouraged to bring the families along for this. Besides the chilli challenge, there was a bazaar, live band performances, games on stage and many more to entertain everyone.

SAFRA members and the public filled the lobby as they went around each stall or just relaxing and listening to the band play. The band played both English and Chinese tunes which appealed to all. Children were running around, getting balloons sculpted by the host and going on stage to play games. It was definitely a family affair down here at SAFRA Mount Faber. 

The highlight of the fair was the Great Chilli Challenge, saw 20 men and women persevere and eat their way to exciting cash prizes. The participants had to eat a series of chilli dishes and the bottom few were eliminated each round, leaving just five people in the final round.

Ma La noodles was served during the first round. Some managed to finish it lightning quick, while some had found the first round to be too tough already. Chilli sushi rolls, raw chillies, and spicier Ma La noodles followed. The final five had to chew and swallow an entire plate of tiny spicy chilli! I was sweating just by looking at the amount of chilli that went into those dishes.

Participants were drowning themselves in water, some even bought milk from the nearby 7-11 to 'cool' the heat in their mouths. For one contestant, nothing was going to stand in his way to winning this, that he had earphones plugged in while eating the chilli dishes. In the end, one guy reigned victorious, having conquered all the dishes from the first round to the last with the fastest time.

It was definitely 'happening' at SAFRA Mount Faber that weekend!
