Events

Last night at Raju’s (2009 Annual Foodsters' Award Best Roti Canai Winner) we kicked off the launch of our 2010 AFA. The theme this year is Love Your Street Food and this campaign is to ensure that we all take pride in the delicious street food our country has to offer!

Fans and friends gobbled down flakey roti canai with flooding rivers of curry and crisp fried chicken, all washed down with a frothy teh tarik. In between bites everyone helped us whittle down our impossibly long nomination list to help us narrow each category down to three makan spots. As with all FC events everyone left stuffed with satiated grins on their faces.
