What would you do for all the dumplings you could eat this spring?
Online food delivery service Menulog is giving Canberrans the opportunity to win "a season's worth of free dumplings". (We checked - "a season's worth" is about $250 worth). The trick is to get through an extreme inflatable "delivery course" as quickly as possible.
It got a trial run on Friday and continues at the University of Canberra's open day in Bruce on Saturday.
From start to finish, the team must:
- Don their delivery gear as quick as possible
- Find a car key lost in a pit of inflatable car tyres
- Battle through a wind tunnel as they would on a scooter
- Go under, over, through and slide past obstacles, including the family pet
- Ring the doorbell with the "food" safe and sound
The dumplings come from Li's Dumplings at Erindale.
Menulog data has unveiled the Wanniassa eatery is a local favourite through positive reviews and customer orders.
It seems Li's Dumpling Inn processes more than three times the amount of orders than Canberra's next most popular dumpling restaurant on the platform.
The inflatable course will be at UC from 9am to 4pm on Saturday August 31, outside Building 1/11 Kirinari St, Bruce.
Menulog Marketing Director Simon Cheng can see the start of some interstate rivalry.
"As the inflatable Menulog Delivery Run Course makes its way around Australia, we're able to see which states can 'deliver food' the freshest," he said
"We've definitely seen some of the best contestants in Canberra today, with students at the University of Canberra open day wanting to get their hands on the prize of a season's worth of Menulog vouchers.
"Let's see if locals can take it up a notch faster today."
