In 2003, Wong began working as an anchor for travelogue and entertainment news programs at the cable network i-Cable. She had a brief stint at Now TV in 2010 but returned to i-Cable a year later. At the time, she was known for having easy access to holding interviews with the comedian Stephen Chow.

In the following years, Wong's notable works included her role in Two Steps From Heaven (2016), where she portrayed a two-faced and manipulative character.
