Lady Wong Patisserie East Village

On our list of the best dessert spots in New York.

A Malaysian-Singaporean patisserie in the East Village from husband-and-wife Seleste Tan and Morgan Anthony, who cooked at Jean-Georges and the Four Seasons Singapore before opening it, first online during the pandemic, then in this storefront in 2022. The case runs through Southeast Asian kuih (pandan custard serimuka, coconut-jam kuih koci wrapped in banana leaf, a 72-hour pineapple cake) alongside French-technique layer cakes and entremets. Lines formed out the door on opening day.
