Join Pioneer Works staff, artists-in-residence, and friends in our
garden for happy hour. Each event spotlights a local chef or culinary
organization. This month’s Happy Hour features Kopitiam.
Kopitiam’s Happy Hour menu of free small bites will be available a
month before the event. Kopitiam is a James Beard Award Semifinalist
and a Bon Appétit Hot Ten restaurant in the Lower East Side.
Kopitiam, which means "coffee shop" in Hokkien, serves as a daily
gathering space introducing visitors to Nyonya cuisine. Nyonya cuisine
is primarily a hybrid of Chinese and Malay flavors, drawing
ingredients and techniques from both cultures along with sprinklings
of influences from the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The goal of
chef/co-owner Kyo Pang, a third generation Nyonya, and
co-owner/operator Moonlynn Tsai is to continually carry forward
Pang’s family recipes in New York City and preserve the fading
tradition of cooking dishes the way her ancestors did. No additives or
artificial coloring are used, instead, hues are made fresh by sourcing
ingredients directly from Malaysia or nearby markets. Community
programs at Pioneer Works are made possible in part through the
generous support of the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation.
