I’ve always heard about the fun activities and varieties of food available at Tiger Street Food. Finally, after two years, the Tiger Street Food Festival is back on-ground, and this time with maze-like alleyways and curated experiences for fans to enjoy an elevated street food experience. Tiger has gone all out to provide an authentic but innovative experience leading up to the festival beginning with the launch of the Hottest Hunt microsite in September. Fans came together to recommend the hottest street food spots and contributed to create a directory of bold street food dishes to try with approximately 1,000 pins dropped to date.
Check out some of the local favourites from the directory at this year’s Tiger Street Food Festival on 4th to 6th November, from 4pm to 12am at Factory 19, Seksyen 19 in Petaling Jaya. There’s four different areas – Wai Sek Kai, Lucky Lok Lane, Spicy Alley, and The Basement – each with its own set of unique street food vibe personalities and activities. There are many activities such as magic show, tarot reading, massages, tattoo and many more.
At Wai Sek Kai, there’s variety of classic street food dishes with an innovative twist. I was there hanging out with friends and some of us tried the dance challenges to win ice-cold Tiger Crystal. The Lucky Lok Lane is where the iconic Tiger Crystal Fire Truck will be parked alongside various other vendors. Enjoy some lok lok and also redeem vouchers to sing your hearts out in a private karaoke room.
The Spicy Alley within the venue feature the hottest street food to sample, and try your hands at the Spicy Wheel Challenge. We also get to enjoy Tiger with a vintage pouring ritual, served in bowls at the Spicy Alley. Finally, the Basement feature a unique vibe with open mic karaoke as well as stand-up comedy. Chillax with Tiger Crystal Somaek at the Spice Alley.
If you love taking photos, Tiger Street Food has various Instaworthy spots at the festival. You can also purchase exclusive street food-inspired merchandise from local designers, available at the Tiger Merchandise Store located at Wai Sek Kai.
At the launch of the festival, the brand unveiled Tiger Stripes, a long-term project to award deserving street food vendors for their bold street food flavours. The brand is encouraging fans to continue to drop pins on the microsite throughout the Tiger Stripes project. Then, a judging panel of restaurateurs, chefs and food personalities will sample and evaluate the top 100 pins that fans have recommended from the Hottest Hunt directory.
I can’t wait to drop pins to recommend my favourite street food spots so my favourite restaurant can win Tiger Stripes.
