If there’s one thing about Hongkongers, it’s that we love TamJai and TamJai SamGor noodles. (Whether you’re more a fan of the yellow bowls or black bowls is a different can of worms.) Lovers of the Yunnan-style rice noodles can now look forward to collecting some adorable plush toys from the brother brands, as well as two new mobile games where players can win exclusive promotions and discounts.
Get the TamJai Club mobile app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to find a cutesy cartoon-like game where ingredients have to battle a ravenous volcano. The game is split into four chapters with five missions each, and every time players finish a chapter, they’ll get awarded with a coupon to get a rice noodle bowl for just $1. Finish all four chapters to win free Hunan chicken wings for a year!
In a similar vein, the SamGor Spicy Club mobile app houses a pixelated fighter game with four chapters containing five missions each. The reward for finishing each chapter is a coupon to redeem rice noodle bowls with an increasing number of ingredients for just $1, until defeating the entire game unlocks a year’s worth of free Hunan chicken wings. The first 30 people to complete the game will also win a golden ticket that’ll allow you to skip all queues when dining in-store in Hong Kong – an absolute score during Hong Kong’s busy lunch hours.
But arguably the best part of these new promotions from TamJai and SamGor is the fact that they’re releasing a set of collectable plush toys, shaped like some of the most commonly ordered ingredients in their noodles. These include a Chinese chive, a beef ball, a mushroom, and a slice of century egg – and if you download the TamJai app, you’ll also find that they’re the fighter characters in the game. The plush toys are available to purchase at 30 select TamJai Yunnan Mixian stores across Hong Kong, at a price of $88 per character, and they’ll also throw in a $40 cash voucher with every purchase. Another way to get your hands on the collectables is to lock in and be one of the first 10 people to complete the TamJai Club game, which will earn you a complete set of the toys.
TamJai and SamGor’s game promotions will run from July 15 to August 25, so make sure your apps are all up to date and start clicking from Tuesday!
