Leaving your family behind to start a new life in a different country is hard. Mama Lam is Malaysian Chinese and arrived in New York City in the 80's. Although the city is a "melting pot", it did not offer many Malaysian curry options so it didn't quite feel like home. As a result, she resorted to creating her own recipe that her children grew up enjoying. Each batch is made with a touch of Mama Lam's love.
