Chomping their way to Adelaide

Jaw muscles working overtime to fill empty tummies. The KL Fabulous Food Hunt 2013 leave Shuib Taib and Khairul Ashraf Kammed open-mouthed with awe...

THEY were hungry. They were raring to go. Last Saturday, 600 participants of KL Fabulous Food Hunt 1Malaysia 2013 combed the city streets in search of the best eateries.

Organised by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture FT KL/Putrajaya Office and the Life and Times Travel desk of the New Straits Times, the event began at Lanai Matic in Jalan Ampang and ended at Seri Pacific Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

It was launched by the Ministry’s deputy secretary general, Rashidi Hasbullah.

The rules were simple: Eat and move on to the next checkpoint until all the tasks were completed.

The reward: The champions get RM5,000 and return flight tickets for four to Adelaide, Australia. First and second runners-up take home RM3,000 and RM1,500 respectively.

There were nine checkpoints (in no particular order) and three treasures.  Here were some of the highlights.

SLOW START, EXCELLENT FINISH

IT WAS on 16^th January 2011 when the idea was first mooted.

As more than 20 hunters assembled in Purple Antz office to discuss about THS future, the notion of THS Motor Hunt was briefly mentioned. Everyone readily concurred that this should be one of the milestones down the road.

Fast forward 2 years and 8 months later, and one of the To-Do boxes has been apparently ticked.

Yes, the dream has become a reality! However to boast that the journey went well, without hiccup would be misleading!

WHAT A WONDERFUL 2013!

Extracted from THS Tulip newsletter (Jul-Sep Edition 2013)

IT HAS been a wonderful 2013 so far; so perhaps a THS hunt IN 2013 could turn out to be a THS hunt ON 2013!

Down the Memory Lane 2013 – The Beginning was the hunt theme; surely an unmissable hint in the Briefing Notes! So a bit of advance research and a fair knowledge of 2013 news would give anyone a slight edge.

Yet some participants completely ignored this at their own expense. If they chose to come unprepared, then they must also be prepared to come unstuck.

The excuses for being not up-to-date were aplenty; but none as comical as the confession of a hunter “I don’t trust mainstream newspapers; so I only read Malaysia Kini!” Undoubtedly he would fare well in any political-related posers.

KLANG VALLEY 23 MAR 2013: With new power, comes new responsibility! With New Year, comes new resolution!

Perhaps a fitting time to learn from previous experience, discard present shortcoming and enhance future performance!

Past feedback suggested that while several THS walk hunts in 2012 were commendable, perhaps one or two were found wanting in hunter-friendly questions and routes, but what was troubling the participants was whether the COC will get it right this time.

Would it be a Dr. Jekyll hunt, or another Mr. Hyde nightmare?

So when hunters Ruben Enbasegaram and Lenny Wan were handed the rein to clerk the first THS KL hunt in 2013 season, one  suspects that there was unspoken trepidation and great expectation about the ”friendliness” mentioned earlier!
