This Urban Jungle
This 160m table in S'pore is the world's longest!

Feast your eyes on this 160-metre-long table, for it is Singapore's latest entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.

As part of the Singapore Food Festival, the table was constructed on July 23, 2011, at Race Course Road and seated 550 diners who enjoyed the spread of Indian cuisine served.

The festival's theme was curry and spices, and the food was catered by 20 of Singapore's finest Indian restaurants -- Gayatri, Jaggi's Northern Indian Cuisine, The Banana Leaf Apolo restaurant and so on.

It cost $100 per diner, but the money was well-spent as they tucked in to the sumptious feast of thosai, stews, fish-head curry, tandoori prawns, chicken masala and other dishes as 3,200 spectators looked on. Not to mention while they attempted a world record feat.

STOMPer Kapilan said of the achievement (Aug 5):

"The buffet spread on the 160m-long table at the food festival set a Guinness World record.

"It was organised by the Indian Restaurants Association of Singapore.

"Mr G. Shanmugam, 48, President the Indian Restaurants Association of Singapore, said of the longest table event: 'We wanted to make this a historic event that will be memorable for participants as well as restaurants involved.'"

Singapore wants to go in guiness records not in unique skills or extraordinary acts, but always in easy numbers. Largest participated walk, longest joining tables, largest number of ppl do this and do that, thats all. Well anabel chong is an exception though. :D

The Guinness Book of World Records should record only feats that involve special or unique skill, talent, or strength, and not on menial tasks like setting up the world longest table as anybody can do it. One day, another country will set up a similar table that is 10 metres longer than ours and so creates another world record. Building a world's longest bridge across the ocean is a world record, but not joining hundreds of square tables side by side on the ground so that it stretches up to 160 meters in length.
