17th October 2015
D-Day
I got lost a bit inside KL Sentral trying to find Plaza Sentral
(tsk tsk tsk) but fret not #TheThreeMakanteers
managed to group ourselves and was ready to take down the other 32 teams!
 |
| #TheThreeMakanteers |
Upon registration (Hi J! Ehem, I’m not putting the full name coz
am shy…hehehe…but yeah, you looked cute J!) we were given t shirt, face mask
(the haze was quite bad) and a bottle of water.
 |
| The boys and I were hungry and ready to gooooooooo!!! |
Afters there was a short intro by the Race Master from Time Out Solution
and welcoming words by Mr Rangam Bir, Chief Executive Officer of Allianz Life
Insurance Malaysia Berhad.

 |
| Gigih mendengar. Can you spot me? |
We also got to sweat with a short Zumba
session. Phew….just 15 minutes but I already feel like a punctured tyre.
 |
| Aye Caremba....mari kita berzumbaaaaaaaa |
All the hunters then
posed for group picture and were handed the clipboard containing our task.
 |
| One for the camera y'll! |
Altogether we had to go to eight (8) check points with one of the check point
being just a picture clue. The organiser also prepared ten (10) bonus
questions in a form of anagrammed clues to guess names of food or drink in
English or Bahasa Malaysia as the picture attached below.
 |
| Try to take a guess and see if you get the right answers! |
Unlike the ‘other’
food I joined previously where cab was allowed, this hunt only let the hunters
to use public transportation such as lrt and/or monorail. Well, as a loyal ‘rider’
I had the map to all the stations ‘printed’ in my head which came as a huge
advantage. I also knew the exact location of two (2) pit stops so we started to
strategize as we made our way to KL Sentral lrt station.
 |
| #TheThreeMakanteers teamleader, Lau taking a peek at the task. |
Our first stop was
Jai Hind Indian Sweet Shop near Masjid Jamek area so we got off at Masjid Jamek
lrt station and dashed our way to the shop. I used to drop by this shop to buy
their delicacies so it’s only natural I kick off the eating challenge. Since I
didn’t have any breakfast I walap the sweets in no time but there was a
surprise task of naming the sweets that went into my tummy. I wrote down the
answers but the marshal wanted the proper answers. Damn! Luckily the shopkeeper
helped us and on we went to the next check point. Another Indian shop, Mansion
Tea Stall around Masjid India area. Within few minutes Lau managed to walap his ‘Roti Canai Banjir with Telur Separuh Masak Dua Biji’. Perghhhh power siot Ah Pek
ni.
 |
| Tu diaaaaa.....Kampung Baru Nasi Kampung special! |
Next up was Kampung
Baru for some Malay food. The shops were quite far from lrt station. Thank
Goodness my leg didn’t cramp from all the walking. I was lagging behind while
Lau was far ahead looking for the shop and Adam was cheering me to walk faster.
After about 15 minutes’ walk, we reached our 3rd check point. It was
Adam’s turn to consume ‘Masakan kampung dengan ulam-ulaman (petai and ikan goreng).
Poor fella was struggling to finish the dish while sweating in buckets.
 |
| Adam in action! |
We
managed to encourage him to complete his task and moved on to get a taste of
‘Nasi Padang’. Lau once again amazed us with his ‘food devouring’ skills!
Mission at Kampung Baru was done and dusted.
 |
| Our Champ chomping the delish dish! |
Another long walk
way back to Kampung Baru lrt station to KLCC station pulak to serang Nasi Kandar Pelita. Lau
was our hero slurping ‘em Mee Goreng Mamak before the fella next to him could even
take his seat! Heck, both Adam and I didn’t even have enough time to catch our
breath from all the running. No time to waste as we made our way back to KLCC
station again.
 |
| Meal number 3 for Lau! |
We had to switch
from Kelana Jaya lrt line to Ampang lrt line to make our way to Pudu station
for some tasty ice cold Cendol. It was also another short run from the lrt
station to the stall. Adoi semput aku lari camni woi! Fortunately we managed to
catch some breath while waiting for the train to arrive and also getting to
Pudu.
 |
| #TheThreeMakanteers sempat wefie while waiting for lrt |
It was my turn gulp down the Cendol. With the hot weather it was just
what I needed. Dah ler bebudak ni dapat makan nasi ngan mee. Aku makan candy je
kot. However when I slurped too fast….ding ding ding….brain freeze!!!
ARGHHH…tahan jelar! Within few minutes the bowl was empty and we made our way
back to the lrt station.
 |
| Nasib ler bowl kecik jer! |
 |
| Aku yang makan, depa yang overrrrrrrrrrrr |
With all our
navigation and tasks going smoothly it was only a matter of a small mistake
to cause all that advantage goes to waste. Once we were at Masjid Jamek lrt
again, I was at a cross line to pick a route to reach Masjid Negara in the
fastest way. No matter which way we take it’s still quite a long distance to
reach the ‘Nasi Lemak Tanglin’ check point. Finally we took the way by the Bangunan
Sultan Abdul Samad and I wanted to ‘cross’ Dataran Merdeka but Adam suggested
we follow the google map and pass by Bank Rakyat instead…I was like…."Nooooo
Adam…that is the long route wey!!!" but both the boys had made up their mind so I just
followed them. Soon after frustration start to set in when my ‘brain map’ showed
me how far we are from the pit stop. My leg started to ache so I started to
mumble and scold Adam for taking us the not wrong but the long way. Haih…nak je
aku cekik budak ni. The boys wanted to patah balik but that would cost us more
time so we just redah je. My veins were screaming and I could not walk any
faster, I was already walking show as it is. This just added insult to the
injury. The boys were far ahead of me while I was cursing and yelling my way up
the blardy Taman Botani Hill. We wasted like 20 minutes to reach the stupid
check point and Lau had finished eating his Nasi Lemak by the time I arrived at
the check point so we moved to the final pit stop.
Thank God the lrt
didn’t have any hiccups and in no time we reached Bangsar and made our way to
the mystery check point at Fierce Curry House. It was Adam’s turn the ‘sapede’
a huge portion of Briyani Rice.
 |
| Ada berani makan Nasi Briyani kat Fierce Curry House? |
 |
| #TheThreeMakanteers multitasking. |
I got to catch my breath and was updating our
social medias. All tasks were finished and we head to Restoran Rebung with 15
minutes to spare before penalty time deduction. We were the 10th
team to arrive. Hurmm….not bad!
 |
| Awwwwyissssss....finally arrived at Restoran Rebung!!! |
We collected our
Certificate of Participation and saw there was a complimentary massage offered!
Awwwwwyissssssss!!!
 |
| Yeay!!! We did it!!! |
 |
| Hooooyeahhhhh!!! Massage me likeyyyyy!!! |
The boys were famished so they rested while I got my back
‘lenyeked’ kao kao. Fuh…..syiok woah!!! I also helped myself to some food
served.
 |
| More food! Sila sila.... |
Dah makan Candy and Cendol je kot. Pastu lari nak mampos so lapor lor.
One after another team started to arrive and we were discussing which prize we didn’t
want to win. I didn’t fancy the Instax Camera as I’d already won one before.
While Lau didn’t want the TV. Adam…belasah tak kisah mana-mana, janji win
something. Cewah…bole tak confident je konon nak win lar kan? Hehehe

| Mana satu idaman hati? Mana satu kita menang nanti? Hehehe |
The awesome people
of Allianz were kind enough to supply each winner their own prize instead of
sharing one between three (3) people. Try imagine how you gonna share the TV if
you win? Like one week you take the TV then me then the other one. Doesn’t make
sense kan?
Sharp 2 pm, it was
revealing answer time to the Bonus Challenge. So….did you manage to guess the
right answers?
Here goes…
Teh Tarik
Apom Balik
Chicken Rice Ball
Roti Bom
Ayam Pongteh
Rendang
Bahulu
Pisang Goreng
Pasembur
Otak Otak
We had a good laugh
going thru some of the answers given by the hunters.
 |
| Tired but happy faces! |
 |
| Alololo...Adam femes. Banyak kuar gamba dia jer! #iJeles |
Ada Sup tulang lar, Sup
Gear Box lar, Roti pokok lar (go figure!). Our team managed to answers all
question correctly except for…..Roti Bom…we spelled it was Roti Boom…small matter
right….well not quite…haih….
*I didn’t even get
to see the questions because the Boys solved it themselves. Terrer kan depa ni!
We were also shown
some video slides of the pictures taken during the hunt. Kelakar giler tengok
gelagat orang melantak makanan. Nasib tade yang muntah! Soon after it was the
prize presentation ceremony. Time Out has their unique supplementary prizes for
the hunters. Among it was the first team to register, last team to arrive, heck…even
award for best Zumba dancer! Haaaaa! Syiok kan?
Shortly it was the moment
everybody’s been waiting for…from 10th position. Two (2) of my
friends team won the 9th and 8th placing respectively. One
of them arrived before us and the other was behind us. Hurm….how liddet…got chance ah?
5th place
was announced…yes…not our name team name…no Instax but but but…if 5th
place oso no get so no win at all ke? Tsk tsk tsk….4th place for the
smart watch also no luck….okay….takpe it was a good try…until…3rd
place…The Three Makanteers…say whertttttttttttt…are you for real??? Yahooooooooooo!!! Menang TV!!! Woot! Woot! Nak

 |
| Yippie Ka Yeayyyyyyyy!!! Way to to #TheThreeMakanteers! |
Here is the crunch…we scored 99 points while the first and second placed teams
received 100 points…that damn Roti Bom spelling cause us a better position.
ARGHH…butttttttt…it’s ok. All is good…I mean…last minute replacement…RM30
registration and go home with 32” Samsung LED TV…that is worth all the effort
kan???
