Lady Wong Patisserie – NYC

One of the most impressive shops in New York City’s Singaporean hawker center Urban Hawker is Lady Wong Patisserie (aka Lady Wong Pastry and Cakes). As the second location of an East Village bakery that’s known as the city’s largest importer of pandan – used in layer cakes and pistachio-pandan royaltine cakes – Lady Wong sells Malaysian and Indonesian desserts in addition to French-style cakes and miniatures.

Although we were most excited to try those cakes, which are offered in a variety of compelling shapes, we were also glad to see kueh lapis layer pudding bars in their beautiful display cases. Signs at the Urban Hawker location also advertised savory puffs, ribs, and sticky rice dishes, which were not available on our visit.
