Pimental won the dumplings for singing rhythm and blues standards, but he didn't win the contest outright; he was named "audience favorite," the BBC reported.

At the rate of 100 dumplings a day, Pimentel should have enough to last for 27 years, the report said.

Winners of the Karaoke World Championship 2010 are Sam Moudden in the men's division, and Maria Saarimaa-Ylitalo, in the women's contest; both are Finns.
