Kancil

A Culinary Homecoming

Kancil is a heartfelt return to the flavors and techniques that have shaped Wong's culinary identity. The dishes highlight seasonal ingredients, thoughtfully prepared to reflect the fresh, organic produce that Wong's mother used in their family kitchen. Wong's culinary journey from helping his mother cook in the remote Malaysian rainforest to mastering global techniques in New York City comes full circle at Kancil. Kancil offers a diverse menu, with each dish designed to evoke the vibrant flavors and textures of Southeast Asia.
