KUALA LUMPUR: More than 460 hungry foodies roamed the streets of Kuala Lumpur yesterday in search of the city's tastiest eateries under the KL Fabulous Food Hunt 2012.
With their eyes on the cash prizes and holiday trips, team Tiger 1 went through all eateries' checkpoints and came out as the day's biggest winner.
Entrepreneurs Mazlan Rasheed and Rezal Mahmood Khalil, teacher Mohamad Hafiz Mohamad Nor and chartered accountant Faiz Faudzi said their strategy was to go to the furthest eatery first before the ones nearest.
"We had a lot of fun yesterday, running and eating all through the city. We managed to see many sides of KL we rarely see," said team captain Hafiz. Team Tiger 1, who completed all challenges and had the most correct answers, won RM5,000.
Second-placed Team Quadruple L, which took home RM3,000, said their strategy of "swallowing" instead of "eating" pulled them through, though they were just 30 seconds short from coming in first.
Third prize winner, Penang Laksa, came all the way from the island and its captain, Liang Chin Min said the team promised to make a comeback next year. They walked away with RM1,500.
Lucky participants also took home plane tickets, holiday packages and buffet dinners at luxury hotels from a lucky draw session.
Fabulous Food Hunt was organised by Life & Times Travel in collaboration with the Kuala Lumpur Tourism Ministry office and event management company Red Adventure.
New Straits Times managing editor Datuk Nuraina A. Samad was present at the morning flag off at Central Market. New Straits Times Press group managing editor Datuk Abdul Jalil Hamid handed the prizes to the winners.
