The Canberra Centre will welcome a new hawker-style dining precinct, Tiger Lane, later this year. Spanning 2000sqm, Tiger Lane will feature 12 dining outlets and bars split into different sections reflective of their country of origin including Japan, South Korea, Southern China, Northern China, and Southeast Asia.
Aussie chef Shaun Presland, ex-culinary director for Saké The Rocks, is leading food direction. A mix of individual restaurants, bars and hawker-like stalls, the precinct will be brimming with vibrant neon lights and energy synonymous with Asian cuisine.
Craig Macindoe, ex-general manager of Spice Alley in Sydney, is also heavily involved in the concepting of Tiger Lane.
Ahead of its establishment, Chef Presland is opening the Tiger Lane Test Kitchen this Friday, where he will be running cooking classes, serving exclusive set course meals, hosting private events, and testing new dishes.
The Tiger Lane Test Kitchen offers a set menu for $85 per person with a $59 beverage matching from 6-9pm, Thursday to Saturday night.
