Three generations in the food industry
From Per Se to his parents’ laksa.
Chef Erik Cheah trained at the highest level of dining before coming home to his family’s cooking. The menu looks home to Penang, where his parents sold white curry laksa from their backyard to commuters — the version served downstairs is theirs, unchanged in forty years.

A bowl of Penang, one flight below Chinatown
Some stories begin with a recipe. Ours begins in a backyard in Penang, where Chef Erik Cheah’s parents cooked white curry laksa for commuters. At Wok Wok, that family bowl is still at the heart of the menu.
The broth starts pale with coconut curry. Add the chili rempah and watch it turn orange: a small transformation that makes this bowl unmistakably ours. It is the family’s version, unchanged in forty years, served one flight below Mott Street.
Erik’s path took him through the kitchen at Per Se, but Wok Wok looks home for its inspiration. Start with the laksa, then explore the wok noodles or nasi lemak. Different plates, the same invitation: pull up a chair and get to know the cooking we grew up with.
First come, first served.
No reservations — come down the stairs and grab a table. The line moves fast, and the woks move faster. Or order it hot for pickup and delivery.
