Tiger Beer transports guests to Singapore for opening night of Tiger Street Eats
MART Creative Hub in Portobello was transformed into a Singaporean street food adventure this week as the much-anticipated (and sold out!) Tiger Street Eats officially opened its doors for the first night of a three-day residency. Tiger Street Eats is a collaboration between Tiger Beer and hawker Chan Hon Meng, owner of the first Michelin starred “hawker stand”, Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle in Singapore. Tiger transformed the MART Creative Hub into a truly Singaporean experience for the event. From the décor to the dishes, everything about Tiger Street Eats brought together the very best of Dublin’s vibrancy and bustling energy of Singapore.
