"As heartwarming and satisfying as a bowl of noodle soup."-Kirkus Reviews "History at its core must tell a good story and using the senses is one way to make the narrative and imagination move forward. Fortunately, there are stories of our history that are told in delicious ways. Mami King is one of them."-Ambeth R. Ocampo, Horacio de la Costa Professor in History & the Humanities, Ateneo de Manila University "A resourceful young man employs his cooking skills to make his fortune and assist others in this lively biography of entrepreneur Ma Mon Luk."-Publishers Weekly "An absolutely wonderful and inspiring story, beautifully illustrated. So much depth, so many layers! But at its core, this is fundamentally a story about the enduring power of love and how that helped Ma Mon Luk to achieve the impossible…A valuable addition to any bookshelf."-Emma Pearl, author of Mending the Moon and Saving the Sun. "A savory success story."-Booklist
