Why it’s a good cheap date
Turns the most ordinary Malaysian date into a game with stakes.
A mall date with rules. Phase one: browse and shortlist things you'd buy the other person if money were no object. Phase two: hit the food court with RM15 each and assemble the most impressive meal you can. Judge each other's plates. Winner picks the next date.
Tips
- Scout all stalls before ordering. The best value is usually at the back.
- Share drinks to save for one extra side dish.
- Take photos of the plates before eating for the judging.
Make it more romantic
- 1Secretly buy one small thing from the wishlist walk and give it later.
- 2Order each other's favourite childhood dish.
- 3Write the winner's prize on a napkin and keep it.
- 4Bring a handwritten note and hand it over at the very end.
