Chef Ange Branca and The Kampar Is Taking Over Jet Wine Bar For a Special Chili Crab Night

Philly’s Jet Wine Bar (1525 South St.) will host a special one-night culinary event on Sunday, September 7, from 4 to 9 p.m., featuring a Kampar Takeover led by Chef Ange Branca and her team. Known for their bold and vibrant Malaysian cooking, Kampar will transform both the garden and bar at Jet Wine Bar with two distinct dining experiences.

Guests can enjoy a classic Malaysian feast built around six local blue crabs prepared in Kampar’s signature chili crab style. A la carte sides—including crab fried rice and butter corn—will be available, along with summer punches and a shaved ice cocktail crafted by Kampar’s James Beard semifinalist bar team. Gluten-free, pescatarian, and halal options will be offered for this portion of the event.

Inside the bar, diners can take part in Shot in the Shell, an interactive oyster and cocktail pairing. The experience reimagines a Malaysian oyster stall, offering a flight of six local oysters presented in three preparations. Each oyster is paired with a curated shot served directly in the shell. This pairing includes alcohol, approximately three ounces in total, and no dietary substitutions will be available.

Reservations: Pre-orders are highly encouraged for both Chili Crabs and Shot in the Shell, with limited walk-ins available. Walk-ins are welcome for cocktails and sides. Pre-orders can be made online at sate-kampar.square.site.
