Macaroni Cheese is a pasta dish of English origin that is also hugely popular in the US and Canada where it’s simply called mac n cheese. In the Caribbean it’s often called macaroni pie, but essentially it comes down to the same thing; small pasta tubes mixed with a cheddar cheese sauce and then baked in the oven. Some versions of the dishes are prepared with emmental cheese or a mix of cheeses with toppings that can include a parmesan and breadcrumb crust or crispy bacon.
Many Hong Kong eateries now serve this delicious meal from upscale restaurants to US style diners and grills, some serving the classic recipe, others giving it a modern twist. Read on for the 10 best Mac & Cheese Restaurants in Hong Kong available on foodpanda.
