In the age of social media, food enthusiasts and food vloggers have gained immense popularity, creating a vibrant community of foodies around the world. Armed with cameras and a keen sense of taste, they embark on journeys to discover unique dishes, hidden gems, and popular eateries. One popular trend within the food vlogging community is the genre of mukbang videos. Mukbang, originating from South Korea, involves vloggers eating large quantities of food while interacting with their audience in a live stream or pre-recorded video. Mukbang has become a cultural phenomenon, attracting a broad audience interested in vicariously enjoying the eating experience and discovering new foods. Recently, we stumbled upon a YouTuber who pulled off an incredible food feat by feasting on a massive spread including Dal Chawal, Aloo Bhorta, Bengan Bhaja, Karela Bhaji, Kadi Pakoda, and Bengan Bhorta, Chilli Paneer, all in a 20-minute video!

The comments section was on fire! Some people were loving every bite of the food adventure.
One user commented under her video, saying, “I loveee your veg thali mukbangs even though I'm a non vegetarian,” and urged her to “do more veg mukbangs like these”
Another user wrote, “Amazing homemade meals platter.”
There was also a request for her to explore “different types of sweets” in future videos.
However, others accused her of “cheating” and editing the video, arguing that it seemed impossible to eat such a large amount of food in a single sitting. A user accused, “You are cheating, no one can eat this much.”
“No one can eat so much food in one day, clearly you do good editing,” a comment read, while another one said, “The video is in bits and pieces, it's like eating all those ingredients all day.”

Mukbangers often showcase an extensive array of food, involving a variety of dishes and copious amounts of specific items. The visual spectacle of food takes centre stage in these videos, with close-up shots capturing both the enticing spread and the mukbanger enjoying the feast. To elevate the sensory experience, some mukbangers incorporate ASMR techniques, enhancing sounds like chewing, crunching, or sipping. This auditory element enhances the viewing experience, particularly for those who appreciate these specific sounds as happy sensory triggers.
