Hi everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Loud Slurp podcast!

For this episode, we are so glad to have Amelie (Ning) Kang, the co-founder and owner of MáLà Project to recount her journey from working at the famed Chinese restaurant China Blue to founding her own NYC dry-pot sensation MáLà Project. In this engaging conversation, Amelie tells the origin story of how she brought the popular modern Chinese dish to America and how she envisions the flavorful, wholesome, and versatile dry pot as part of the NYC food scene. She also candidly shares with us what it's like to be a restaurant owner as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to drag on.
