"A bakery that specializes in unique pastries using distinct regional ingredients, celebrating the owner's heritage alongside their baking skills." - Richard Whiddington
"A New York City patisserie that fuses Southeast Asian flavors with French pastry techniques; the ube blackberry entremet cake is a show-stopping, visually impressive holiday option." - Monica Burton
"At Lady Wong in the East Village, you'll see multicolored cakes and pastries sitting in glass cases as if they're million-dollar watches. That's probably because these baked (and steamed) goods are, indeed, very precious. If you're looking for a snack, there's a large variety of kuih, and you'll also find some elaborate tarts, swiss rolls, and layer cakes. Try any one of these things, and you'll feel compelled to come back once a week. (We suggest the silky, candy-coated taro ube tart.) Before any party or special occasion, stop by for a box of treats that will make your friends and family forgive any past transgressions." - willa moore, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang
"We never leave Lady Wong in the East Village without ordering a piece of steamed rainbow kuih, a chewy, bouncy treat that’ll leave your fingers slightly sticky with coconut flavor. And that’s just the dessert we eat in three bites inside the store. The Southeast Asian patisserie also has some elaborate tarts, swiss rolls, and layered crepe cakes. It’s a pocket-sized space with just a couple of bar stools, so plan on taking your pastries to go. They also have an outpost in the Urban Hawker food hall." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja
"Beautifully presented Malaysian desserts shot Lady Wong to fame. Come fall, husband-and-wife co-owners Mogan Anthony and Seleste Tan are selling baked and snow skin mooncakes with modern, Malaysian accents. Try the pandan and coconut, tangerine and caramelized white lotus, and hazelnut paste with hazelnut butter flavors. They’re available for pre-orders." - Caroline Shin
