Lady Wong brings the desserts of Southeast Asia to 9th Street

Photos by Stacie Joy

Lady Wong, a Nanyang-inspired pastry shop, had its soft opening on Tuesday at 332 E. Ninth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue...
Lady Wong owners Seleste Tan and her husband Mogan Anthony (top pic) are from Malaysia, and spent time in Singapore and NYC working in the kitchens of several restaurants and hotels. They started this business about a year ago, selling online and at various pop-up events before opening their own place. 

Based on the number of people waiting to enter the shop specializing in desserts from Southeast Asia, they already have a strong following... 
You can check out their website here to see a rundown of the shop's kuih and pastries. They also serve coffee from Coffee Project NY

Posted hours, for now, are noon-6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
