A 12-year-old girl showed off her ice cream-eating prowess by polishing off 836 grams of ice cream during a contest Sunday in Hong Kong.

The girl, surnamed Tam, entered the match amid the summer heat and won several delicious crabs worth 1,500 Hong Kong dollars as a prize.

Thirteen people of different ages participated in the 3-minute eating spree, with 1,600 grams of ice cream for each.
