Previous 2 years food hunt organised by rasa-rasa was in Penang, this is the first year is held in KL, good for KL foodies. This year theme is “Going by mobile” whereby participants have to use Maxis SMS based location finder directory. Basically is like sending text message(ex: “Pan Mee”) to 301(number of the FINDER service), and they will send back the nearest places where you can have “Pan Mee”, and you can continue reply back to 301, they will send you back another sms containing more details and google map(provided you phone is 3G enabled, otherwise you will just get a http link of the google map)

Originally wanted to join this with a friend, but after finding out there is no reimbursement of petrol, 3G and this hunt will probably take 6-7 hours, and i am terrible in solving riddles, therefore decided not to join this treasure hunt.

Also, FYI, they have no ruling on GPS usage and not all routes are halal.( they have some routes to accomodate Muslim participants)

Anyone joining?
