Dude, my Friend, I live 30 miles from Boston Ma. and I can assure you that there is not ONE single Chinese food restaurant selling Mac & Cheese here. This must be a regional thing, where do you live that they have Mac & Cheese listed on the menu alongside of the Beef Teriyaki and Egg Rolls ?

PS, my last outing was to my favorite Chinese food place, Quan's Kitchen, and thank gawd I wasn't served any Mac & Cheese with my pork fried rice and chicken chow mein

I will confirm that ! No Mac & Cheese I know of in So. NH or Middlesex & Worcester Co. Mass I know of. Not even chop suey which is NOT
at all Chinese. When chop suey is on the menu its for the kids.

Credentials : The TV shop was in a strip mall & next door to Joyce
Chens Chinese groceries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_Chen_(chef)
Got to know the family well & they were the nicest people.
Joyce had the first Chinese cooking show on WGBH #2 Boston.
Used the same set as the French Chef.
Her son Henry was educated & had a thick Harvard accent. It was
strange to hear ! Anyhows they have confirmed mac & cheese &
chop suey are NOT AT ALL Chinese ! May I recomend Helen Chens
cook book.

Great starter book for Chinese cooking at home.
