This new restaurant, which opened this September on the corner of Campbell Parade and Beach Road delivers a menu inspired by the diverse flavours of Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.
The 70-seat restaurant comes from acclaimed Sydney restaurant group House Made Hospitality, who wanted to bring something fresh and beachy to match the Bondi vibe. It’s designed as a relaxed, casual space with neutral interiors where the bright, vibrant flavours take centre stage.
In the kitchen, Chef Andrianto Wirya draws on his Indonesian heritage and experience working in hotels across Asia to lead diners on a culinary tour from street food to fine dining.
Some standout dishes include the Duck Roll, a crispy Vietnamese duck spring roll served with nuoc cham dipping sauce. The Tamarind Chicken Wings are fried until crispy then glazed with a sweet and sticky tamarind chilli glaze. For vegetarians, the Wood Roasted Cauliflower is doused in a green curry coconut sauce and served with brinjal pickle and curry leaf.
In addition to sharing plates, Easy Tiger offers fresh wok-tossed greens, crispy twice-fried corn “larb”, and the quintessential Papaya Salad with green papaya, peanuts, chilli and aromatic Thai basil.
The restaurant also caters to kids with chicken bao buns, BBQ fish and crispy pork belly on the children’s menu. For something sweet, families can choose from refreshing watermelon, a vanilla and coconut sundae or a slice of banana toffee pie.
The restaurant offers an Asian-inspired banquet menu so diners can sample a variety of dishes. To complement the food, Easy Tiger serves beers from the on-site Bondi Brewing Co, Australian wines and creative cocktails.
