Did I ever tell you how much Japanese girls like sweets? They really go gaga over desserts. Well here's something that will probably satiate any sweet tooth—a 2-kg-heavy giant parfait that costs a hefty $35.
If you finish the whole thing, though, it's free.
Kogyal food-fighter Gal Sone is heading over to Kijima Amusement Park in Beppu (where the parfait is located) to try her hand at it. She'll finish it, of course, because she can eat enough food for six without skipping a beat. (Too bad the vids of her eating were taken off of YouTube. She's incredible.)
The dessert consists of 3 kinds of ice cream, pancakes, cream puffs, and fruits. I think I see an ice cream cone in there too, and tons of whipped cream. So far, nobody's finished the whole thing.
I spent a big part of my childhood at Kijima Amusement Park, btw. Beppu is my dad's hometown.

Is Beppu in Oita? I think I went there once on a company trip. Onsen, walking about in the street in yukata, singing karaoke with Elvi impersonators. God, I miss Japan. Oh, yes, and I would like to have a go at the parfait as well.

Beppu is a great town. I love how they pronounce it on the train station announcements. Beppuuuuuuuu! Fantastic. :)
