My family left Ballyfermot for Kildare 20 years ago but before we moved our Saturday night treat was a takeaway from Lam's Chinese.
Times have certainly changed over the last few years, as Ballyfermot has two Chinese takeaways called Lams; New Lams, which has just opened within the last two weeks, and the original Lams, which has been in business over 30 years. The new Chinese takeaway follows after a dispute between father and son Jonathan and Ken Lam, who are now running their own separate businesses.
Jonathan told The Irish Sun: “I know it is controversial. I’m not in the hurt business if you get me, I’m not in the business of hurting him. The reality is I’m doing what’s best for me. This is the only option left for me."
