Maybank Bon APP-etit @ Durian King, TTDI

Maybank held this event for Maybank app users where it's basically free food and drink for 4 hours (4 - 8 pm) on Saturday in Taman Tun. 

4 p.m. on that Saturday was broiling hot and too early for dinner. So the sibling and I compromised and only left about 6 something after having an early dinner. Luckily there was still street parking nearby by the time we got there. 

To gain entry into the event, you just have to show the people at the door that you have the Maybank app installed, you don't need to login to your M2U account or anything. And you get 3 white, nondescript white tokens that you can use for redemption. You can get more tokens by humiliating yourself via social media or talk to the emcee who was going around giving them away via quizzes.

I thought it was going to be more crowded than it was. Maybe people weren't around because it was the school holidays. 

So the first thing I went for was the durian cendol. The line was moving SO SLOWLY, I don't know why. Then I saw that people were redeeming several portions in one go and I was like, WTF 😣😤 

They should've instituted a "one portion per person" rule; then the line would go so much faster. If you want some more, you line up again la. Several food trucks were already out of food around 7 p.m. Before the end of the night there was only one food truck still serving food (because they replenished and came around the same time we did). I saw one uncle carry 5, 6 portions of tacos in one go. First of all, how did he get so many tokens to pull that off? 

In the end, I only had one cendol, chicken taco and a can of Wonda coffee. 


I understand that the food trucks have limited portions to give out, but...

You know you damn aunty when you bring up that up on their social media.
