Up-and-coming Singapore chef Kevin Wong, who was the head chef at one-Michelin-starred contemporary Korean restaurant Meta, is coming into his own by helming his restaurant Seroja, which opens on October 1 at Duo Galleria mall near Bugis.
Seroja, which means “lotus flower” in Malay, is Wong’s tribute to the rich diversity of cultures and culinary traditions across the Malay Archipelago, which spans countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.
The Malaysia-born chef, who is a Singapore permanent resident, says: “I want to share the beauty of the region I am from with the world. As people from the Malay Archipelago, we coexist and thrive within disparate cultures.That is who we are and what I want Seroja to embody.”
