Miyuki Iwata wins Asia Eating Contest in Shanghai

The Shanghai Daily reports that Miyuki Iwata (岩田ミユキ) , runner up in last month’s “Gluttonous Queen” contest, won the Asia Eating Contest held at the Shanghai Jiuguang Department Store. Iwata’s non-contest meals are at least as impressive as her contest performance. A typical meal for her weighs 6kg (13.2 lb, more than Denny’s 96er burger) She claims to spend most of her salary on food and once spent $3,548 on food one month. This is Iwata’s second Chinese contest in 2006; she won a Hong Kong contest in January.

    Thank you for your comment on my blog.I was very astonished and glad.I’m afraid that I can’t write as much big eater’s news of Japan as you hope,because of my poor English skill and my hand’s pain(sometimes I take a rest).Actually,Auto-translation is faster and more correct than my blog.Above that,Your blog has much infomation already!! Wonderful!

    I’ve linked your blog on Iwata’s Shanghai battle news of my Japanese blog now…I don’t know what I should say…Thank you for much news?!….I can’t find as much news as you find.
