It appears that Austin foodies will have to bid a temporary adieu to the savory flavors of Malaysia, as Wee’s Cozy Kitchen shut its doors on December 23rd last year. The beloved gas station-adjacent eatery, nestled at 2400 Rio Grande Street, has been a hotspot for Malaysian cuisine since its opening
Amidst accolades and culinary acclaim, Owner Wee Fong Ehlers, a native of Malaysia, is on the move to relocate her restaurant. With a history of tantalizing taste buds with dishes such as beef rendang and nasi lemak, Wee's has become a beacon for those seeking authentic Malaysian fare, according to Austin Eater.
While the future location and reopening date remain under wraps, fans of Ehlers' home-cooked comfort encapsulated in every spoonful will be on pins and needles anticipating the return of her culinary expertise. The restaurant's closure marks the end of a brief, yet significant chapter inside the erstwhile Foodie's Kitchen space that by day, churned out Mexican eats, according to Austin Eater.
