■Do you know?
If you use macaroni (通心粉) for this recipe, you will easily create the famous dish "Mac & Cheese" (picture) which western kids grow up with. While westerners enjoy eating macaroni with cheese sauce, Hongkongers favour macaroni soup, commonly consisting of ham or barbecued pork. It's the unique Hong Kong style breakfast dish!
