TASTE OF PLAY.


An official WOAP X Willis Lane event.

Relive the joy of childhood

Taste of Play

Weave your way through an eclectic array of seven Willis Lane vendors as they take you on a nostalgic journey, crafting reimagined renditions of the classic comfort foods we all adored as kids. 

Descend underground into the home of food-meets-fun as Willis Lane transforms into an immersive sensory playground designed to delight everyone from the young to the young at heart. There’s something for everyone.

Treat yourself every Friday and Saturday throughout August, 12:00pm – Late.

PARTICIPATING VENDORS

Hot Like A Mexican

Three-Course Family Fiesta

Family taco night with a twist. Start with HLAM’s award-winning Tamales Veracruzanos (steamed banana leaves stuffed with corn), then dive into a mountain of mouth-watering nachos, and end on a sweet note with crispy, cinnamon-sugar churros. A fiesta of flavours so good, you’ll forget your bedtime.

Wilson Barbecue

Lasagn-ahhh Brisket Lasagne Toppa

The ultimate comfort food, packed into a crispy, juicy little beauty. Bite into layers of luscious brisket, creamy béchamel, and rich tomato sauce between tender pasta sheets. It’s lasagne like you've never tasted before – smoky, savoury, and utterly indulgent.

Duck Island

Banana Brûlée Sundae

Indulge your inner child with a sundae straight out of your sweetest dreams. Think torched bananas meet vanilla bean and toasted marshmallow ice cream, chocolate sauce and roasted hazelnuts – topped with whipped cream and a Luxardo Maraschino cherry.

Archie Brothers & Holey Moley

Milkshake Madness

Step right up for a boozy trip to the candy shop with these two deliciously indulgent shakes. Choose from the ‘Ready to Crumble’ Hard Shake, which mixes fireball with chocolate chip cookies, milk, and ice cream topped with KitKats and candy sprinkles for a grown-up twist on cookie time – or the ‘Candy Stand’ Non-Alcoholic Shake, a blend of strawberries, milk and vanilla ice cream, crowned with lolly sticks and jetplanes for a dreamy trip down memory lane.

Crack Chicken

King Chicken Katsu Burger

Take your tastebuds to the playground with the ‘KING CRACK’. A large, succulent slab of crispy katsu chicken schnitzel layered with pickles, k-slaw and housemade tonkatsu sauce – all nestled in a soft Dough Bakery milk bun. Served with sizzling crinkle-cut fries. Mouth watering.

Nam Nam

Spaghetti & Meatballs Bánh Mi

Spaghetti and meatballs took a detour through Vietnam. This cheeky mash-up stuffs thick noodles and meatballs into a crispy Bánh Mi baguette – an unexpected nostalgic delight that’ll have you coming back for seconds and thirds.

Churly's CBD

Pink Panther Float

A boozy blast from the past. The Pink Panther fuses Raspberry house-made syrup, vanilla bean ice cream, soda, and tayberry-infused liqueur, topped with vanilla and flat white liqueur-infused whipped cream. It’s your favourite childhood spider, now for big kids.
