Wong’s (right) Dusun OpenHouse is more casual and rustic both in terms of its decor and cuisine.

In the bucolic environs of Dusun OpenHouse, a hotspot firmly registered on the radars of influencers and KOLs eager for unique and unusual backdrops for their content, Andrew Wong saunters in and blends in perfectly with the earthenware pots, mamasan lounge chairs and rough-hewn tables.

A pair of sand coloured lace-up boots completes his ensemble while a natural citrine crystal dangles around his neck.
