Chopseuy

Jon and I are doing our grocery shopping in a Filipino Supermarket here in Dubai. We saw a prepacked chopseuy veggies in the veggie section. Hubby is craving for Beef soup and I insist of cooking something healthy and since I am the wife and it's been a while since we had veggies on our table.. I won and we bought it. In the end he liked it.
