Max Chopsuey

In the picture, is Max restaurant Chopsuey. As you can see, it looks a lot different from the homemade Chopsuey.

After looking at this picture, I remember those time I eat there in Max with my mother, sister and friends during our gala gala in Sm Mall of Asia. This picture also make me crave for Chopsuey right now. I might be cooking on for myself depending on the availability of all the ingredients... hope I have it all in the fridge...
