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.
