The new eatery marries the two great cuisines with refined execution
In March 2018, chef Stephanie Wong debuted her Roots Eatery concept at PMQ’s Taste Kitchen, the restaurant incubator by local gastronomes Twins Kitchen. The trial brought Wong’s pop-up to the public, serving dishes such as heirloom tomatoes a la nage, and homage to grandma's lobster. Ten months later, the French cuisine-trained chef has opened her first independent restaurant.
Located within the Star Street precinct and neighboring popular establishments such as Artemis & Apollo and Francis, Wong’s restaurant is hard to miss. A deep-blue exterior with an eye-catching Roots logo hangs from the top corner. A large window opens up from the front, offering guests an inviting view into the long dining room, which is equipped with an open kitchen. The pale grey high ceiling of the room is inviting with industrial-inspired furniture neatly arranged across the space.
