Do-It-Yourself MakanSafaris
Singapore Food Festival 2000

So…you think ulu (god forsaken) places in Singapore have no good makan establishments? Or is it that you only makan around where your regular MRT and bus rut…err route take you. If any of those claims hits your jackpot, then our most heartfelt sympathies go out to you.

But fret not.

For, in conjunction with Singapore Food Festival 2000, Makansutra will take you to the mother of all ulu eateries in Singapore (among others) for some far-out eating. Together with Comfort Ads, Makansutra is launching the Do-It-Yourself MakanSafaris.

From 1st to 30th April 2000, you can hop into special MakanSafari Comfort Taxis, go cross-country, day or night and check out great Makansutra-rated eateries found on our DIY Makan Day Prowl and DIY Makan Night Prowl. Yes… these are own time, own target, DIY and no-need-to-pay tours. Simply download the delicious Makan Clue Pack below ... note the fun we bury in there for your makan party. Just pay for your taxi ride and eat your gut out at some of the quainter corners of our little island. And hey…while you are at it enjoying yourself, there is a chance you may win a trip to HONG KONG! - yet another makanville! If that's not enough, other prizes include the new Ericsson WAP phones (arriving in town soon) and $1000 worth of Comfort Taxi Vouchers.

So, if you fancy some wodei(Shanghai dumplings) or dan dan (Beijing) noodles in a funky psychedelic coffee shop at the quiet East, or black pepper pork ribs under the stars at ulu Jurong that can put Tony to shame, or some serious bak kut teh while your car is being re-sprayed, then get up, get out and go for an appetising hunt for glorious food.

But wait first, download the route clues and details, lah! Otherwise you dunno where to go, mah! Just double-click on the Makan Clue Pack lor!

If you are a visitor to Singapore or you are still blur about where to eat, simply call 450 0193 (office hours only) to book a Comfort Chartered Taxi to take you on this Singapore food hunt. Chartered services are provided at S$25 per hour on a Comfort Taxi and S$30 on a deluxe Comfort Sovereign Limousine Taxi. Please book 6 hours in advance.
