Mac & cheese has long been a beloved food – whether it’s for quick lunch or weekend indulgence. While we’re familiar with the “Nacho Cheese” style commonly served at Western food stalls, here’s a more flavourful and satisfying alternative.

Made entirely from scratch using real cheese, rather than processed store-bought cheese sauce – this version is both easy to prepare and rich in taste.

Using only 4 key ingredients – butter, milk, cheese, and macaroni, with aromatic spice powders of your choice!

Note: Mixed cheese = a combination of shredded cheddar & mozzarella
