00:00 Welcome to Amacis Palagarams, a humble home in SS17 Subang Jaya,

00:05 where the enticing aroma of uppams fill the neighborhood every weekend morning.

00:10 Amacis Palagarams is a nearly 50-year-old family business,

00:14 now run by family members of the third generation.

00:18 Amacis is how I call my grandmother, my Maus Ma.

00:20 And Palagarams means Indian delicacies, right?

00:23 So my grandmother started this in the 70s,

00:26 and she's a part of the family, she's been doing it for many years.

00:30 Then my mom and Mrs. Gurspa had to get it.

00:32 Finally, I was the one in the family who always told my mother to stop doing this.

00:37 However, when Narmada lost her job as a physiotherapist in 2020,

00:42 she discovered the true value of the family business.

00:45 Soon after, her now husband and foodie Aaron J. Dasan

00:49 left his accounting job to carry forward the legacy of Amacis Palagarams.

00:55 In a strategic move to attract more customers to their main products, such as murkus,

01:00 they began serving uppams from Aaron's grandfather's home in February 2023.

01:06 Soon, they discovered that the main attraction was not the murkus,

01:10 but the three-generation-old uppam recipe.

01:13 So one guy left a review saying, "Best uppam in Malaysia."

01:17 We agree, too.

01:19 After one year of introducing these fluffy, sweet treats,

01:23 their menu today carries four variations of the classic Sri Lankan uppam.

01:28 One of their specialties is the original falapam,

01:31 cooked with milk rather than having the milk served separately.

01:35 Their menu also features plain and egg uppam

01:38 with a coconut sambal packed with smoky and spicy flavors.

01:42 Finally, their falapam with jaggery is pure heaven for those with a sweet tooth.

01:48 We get a lot of big families that come.

01:52 All families, 15 of them, will come and just sit down.

01:58 They'll be eating uppams on the stove, having tea,

02:01 having a good time, playing board games.

02:03 I think we feed off that energy also.

02:06 Yeah, the house has life also, I guess.

02:10 While aspiring to expand the business,

02:13 the couple acknowledges the special charm of operating from this cozy house.

02:18 I think we both genuinely like talking.

02:21 It's like interacting.

02:24 Yeah, you learn so many new things, you learn so many new stories.

02:29 And for a short while, you are in somebody else's shoes.

02:34 Narmada and Aaron continue to make memories of their own

02:37 while preserving her family's culinary legacy.

02:42 So, don't forget to drop by Ang Majis Palagarum in SS17, Subang Jaya

02:47 and check out the full article by logging on to FMT and following us here.
