It\u2019s thoroughly satisfying and tastes like home cooking. Grab a craft beer to help wash down the calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morton\u2019s smoky macaroni and cheese (RMB100 plus 10% service charge) marries cream cheese, smoked gouda and nutty parmesan into a deliciously cheesy melt. Jalape\u00f1os and salty bacon bits only add to the addictive experience. We especially enjoyed the contrast of large pasta tubes with the baked breadcrumb crust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
