Hi about the food truck festival. We would have to pay Rm30 and if we were to buy any food from the food trucks, we would have to pay an additional Rm30 right?
Hi Anne, if you buy one day ticket, it will cost you RM30 and the ticket itself already lets you redeem 1 dish from the food trucks. You don’t need to pay additional RM30. If you want to buy extra food, just pay RM10/dish.
Hi there…I would like to find out more about the food truck association in Malaysia. Is there a number I can call or website I can go to? Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Reuben, sorry I have no idea. You may ask the food truck operators themselves, they should know more.
Thanks
