"If you like authentic Asian food especially Malaysian food, this is a place you cannot miss! We were driving from NY to Rhode Island with our kids and relatives from Bangkok. We decided to stop over for lunch along the way and was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem! To be honest, I was skeptical as I did not find any good (and very pricey) Asian food in NY! Came into the restaurant and met Kim the owner/chef and his whole family who runs this place! Little did we know that Kim was previously an executive chef for large hotel chains and had travelled the world. His idea for Mama Chow is to introduce Asian cuisine to his restaurant focusing on fresh yet high quality ingredients to bring out the simple authentic flavours of Asia! We had Kon Loh Mee (KLM) egg noodles with juicy BBQ pork and pork wonton dumplings, Lard Na (in Thai or in Cantonese they call it Wat Tan Hor) fried flat rice noodles with silky smooth seafood sauce, seafood laksa (ramen noodles in coconut curry broth and fresh seafood with large Tiger prawns), char kway teow (fried flat rice noodle with a distinct Malaysian wok fried flavour), Nasi goreng Malaysian/ Indonesian fried rice. Kim also served us his special dishes lor mai Kai (glutinous rice with steamed with chicken and mushrooms a local dish usually served for breakfast in Malaysia) and steamed aubergine! Not only was the food delicious, the hosts were amazing! Such generous and friendly family! We had such a memorable meal here! Highly recommended to all to visit Mama Chow and experience it for yourself! Food taste so good, you have to try it to know it! P/s: ask for Sambal to go with your dishes and don’t miss out on the waffles and yam ice cream if your tummy is still asking for more!"
