NYC Malaysian Restaurant Kancil Is Closing | Eater NY

"Owner Mitchell Cohen tells NBC New York that the shop’s prices will have to go up, since the team sources candies and sweets globally. That includes international variations of Snickers, he says, such as the pistachio iteration from India and the passionfruit mousse from Portugal. He also explains that the costs of American-made confections will increase, since production relies on internationally-sourced ingredients like chocolate and sugar. "Long story short: it’s going to be a struggle." The candy shop has been open since 1937 on the Lower East Side and expanded for the first time in its decades-long history with an outpost that debuted at the Chelsea Market in 2023." - Nadia Chaudhury
