Seafood options
2016-09-20  990 瀏覽
I haven't been to Pizza Hut in ages so decided to go and compare it with the ones in the UK.
The choices are definitely different and localized to suit the people here.
There are lots of seafood options so we went for that since you can't order these in the UK and my friend is such a tiger prawn fan!
Tried two new Artisan pizzas which are made with daily freshly made dough.
The pizza base is soft and crisp and reminds me of deep pan pizzas without the oiliness.
The salmon one was on the sweet side because of the honey mustard sauce and the Parma ham one was my favourite because it had bits of crumbled sausage meat on it.


Here were the prawn dishes that we had:
++++++++

Baked King prawns with cheese.

I couldn't quite taste the cheese but it tasted like the Chinese style ketchup prawns.

+++++++++++
King prawn and salmon fillet with creamy spinach sauce:

The salmon fillet was nice and tender and the sauce was surprisingly good because it was not as creamy as it looked.

+++++++++++

For pasta, we had the King Prawn carbonara but I was full so I only ate the prawns which were meaty.

[Review 1890] Tuscani pizza series Part 3: Feta n Ocean @ 必勝客 Pizza Hut

After trying the Portobello passion pizza and BBQ bonanza sausage pizza, this was the last pizza in the series to try.
Came during the late afternoon hours so was able to order a tea set and the Tuscani Feta n Ocean pizza a la carte.
For the tea set, I ordered the Aglio Olio with Prawn pasta which came with a drink and soup.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken mushroom soup:

The soup tasted really milky and it had the occasional pieces of chicken and mushroom in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Feta n Ocean pizza:

Out of the three pizzas in the Tuscani series, this one turned out to be my favourite, the Portobello passion pizza was nice because of the strong spices but the cheese was not that prominent, the BBQ bonanza sausage was too sweet and this one was packed with flavours which I expected.

I was expecting this one to taste the best, hence I tried it last because the second one I tried (Portobello passion) the chicken did not have much taste and that pizza relied on the herbs and mushrooms.

However this pizza was packed with flavours especially Feta because it has a slight sour and salty taste and crumbly texture to it and the pizza also had clams and prawns that are naturally salty.


Visually it was colourful as well because of the olives, cherry tomatoes, purple onions which contrasted the spinach.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Aglio Olio with Prawn:


When it came, it smelt really nice, there was strong peppers and garlic.
The prawns were fresh and springy.
As for the pasta it was lovely and al dente but most importantly the olive oil and garlic flavouring was infused to it.
The pasta was also quite spicy because it had chilis.

After trying the BBQ Sausage Bonanza pizza from the TUSCANI range, this time I decided to try the Portobello passion.
I just ordered the pizza on its own because it only costs $138 without the set.
I ordered the pizza for pick up at the branch because there was 10% off.

Arrived and the pizza was ready to collect, they even open the pizza box in front of you to show that you have the right pizza before you go.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Portobello passion:
As expected, it tasted nicer than the BBQ Bonanza because it was not so sweet as there was no bbq sauce or tomato sauce.
However it was slightly burnt and the portobello mushrooms went dark easily.
On the pizza there were evident pieces of camembert. I was surprised the middle part did not melt.
The Tuscani pizza base was chewy and not crispy and hard like the regular ones.
The pizza was really delicious because mushrooms and chicken always taste good together.
Although it was made with pesto sauce, it tasted like Rosemary and there was no pesto taste..
The texture of the camembert was slightly hard and the surface looked like it had been grilled because I was expecting the centre to be creamy and runny but it was like grilled burnt cheese.

Recently saw the promo for the new Tuscani pizzas, there are three pizzas in the range that have a different cheese in each one.
As I like all the cheeses I have decided to try all of them.

The three pizzas in this range are: BBQ Sausage Bonanza, Portobello passion and Feta n Ocean.
BBQ Sausage Bonanza is pizza with meat sausage, rocket leaf, creamy cheese and BBQ sauce.
Portabello passion is pizza with camembert cheese, portobello mushrooms, grilled chicken and pesto sauce.
Feta n Ocean is pizza with feta cheese, prawns, spinach and tomato sauce.

The Tuscani series is much better than the six cheese pizza because the cheeses are paired to different ingredients and you sample the different cheeses more clearly.

Ordered the TUSCANI COMBO which includes soup, salad, pizza, rice/pasta and drinks for $268.

The soup and salad arrived at appropriate times, when I nearly finished them the mains and the pizza was brought over.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mushroom soup:

The soup tasted milky and the same as Campbell's soup.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetable soup:

Strong tomato taste with generous pieces of cabbage and onion.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Caesar salad:

The salad has improved, and I liked the way the caesar sauce is separate so for those on a diet they can put less sauce.
On top of the lettuce there was parmesan cheese and fine bacon bits.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mushroom risotto:

There were lots of mushrooms in it, however I found the taste too milky.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
BBQ sausage bonanza:


Out of the three pizzas, I tried this one first because the other two seemed nicer and I wanted to try them last.
I found this pizza too sweet because of the BBQ sauce and pineapple, but apart from that the chunky pieces of sausage were good.
The creamy cheese was extremely thick and tasted like dairylea cheese triangles but not as salty as that.
Although this one was too sweet, I will still try the feta and portabello passion because I like feta and camembert.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Hot lemon drink:

I was surprised that you pour the water yourself which was fun.

[Review 1447] Tortillas and Fried chicken at Pizzahut @ 必勝客 Pizza Hut

Last year they had the pizza with six different cheeses called cheesy 6 and this year they have come up with the 7-cheese pizza with added Provolone.

Anyway, I was meant to try this pizza, but then I saw other stuff on the menu and ended up trying those.

The items were similar to the ones served at Spaghetti house.
It was interesting that they have created a dish similar to poutine and American fries with the use of different sauces on top.

In the end ordered: Crispy Chicken Strips with French Fries, Prawns Tomato Tortilla, Squid Ink Risotto with Shrimp in Lobster Sauce and Baked Cinnamon Apple Crispy Bread bites with Vanilla Ice-cream.

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy Chicken Strips with French Fries
It reminded me of chicken at Spaghetti house, so I ordered it.
When they arrived, the chips were overdone. The chips and chicken was too salty that it stung and the chips tasted like they were soaked in salted water before they were fried.
Apart from that, it took a long time for the fries and chicken to cool down.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Product shot: Prawns Tomato Tortilla
Prawns Tomato Tortilla:
Just wanted to eat something similar to a pizza, and this was basically a tortilla covered with cheese and prawns similar to the 7-cheese one, so I ordered that.
Anyway I liked the way they used the tortilla base because it was extremely thin and crispier than the thin crust one.
The texture was similar to filo pastry at the edges.



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid Ink Risotto with Shrimp in Lobster Sauce
The lobster sauce was too salty, but overall the dish was delicious, especially the pieces of octopus and the rice.



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Baked Cinnamon Apple Crispy Bread bites with Vanila Ice-cream
Although the dessert arrived along with the food, it came at a good timing because I liked the way the dessert had time to cool down and the ice-cream melted, so the crispy bread bites were equally covered in ice-cream.
It would have been nice if the apples could taste more tart.

This was not on the delivery menu before so decided to try it.
It costs $62 which qualifies for delivery.

It tasted better than I expected, the sauce for the pasta was rich tomato sauce infused with basil.
It has a tangier taste than the bolognaise sauce.
It also tastes like Heinz tinned spaghetti, but the texture of spaghetti is not as mushy as the tinned one.

As for the meatballs I liked them as well, they were soft, and it tasted like the Italian sausage meat use in their supreme pizza.

I hardly ever order Pizza for delivery, especially Pizza Hut because the delivery menu is limited.

This time I was surprised at the choice and it was so good that I ordered more than I intended to because the starters, pastas and desserts were sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tempting.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pizza Duetto $127
I ordered the duetto because you can choose two different pizza's, however one of my choices was the supreme which is not supposed to contain pineapples according to the menu.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bacon penne with truffle parsley sauce $68
This is a new pasta on the delivery menu, a nice change to spaghetti bolognaise and americana.
The sauce was really nice and strong, and there was chopped up parsley.
I would have liked it if the pasta was softer, but the sauce was nice and cheesy with a strong truffle taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Russian salad (shrimp and potato) $32
This was a nice salad that would be a choice for expats because it had mayonnaise dressing and not the weird sweet chinese salad dressings.
The elements in the salad were potatoes, lettuce, purple cabbage, prawns and black olives.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Golden Peach bread pudding $30
When I saw this, I was tempted to order two, and it did turn out to be delicious.
however when you take the lid off, it does not look as good as it tastes and it looks slightly different to your usual bread pudding.
The use of peach was much better than raisins.
The peach and custard sauce in the pudding tasted really nice.

This is an old review that I nearly forgot to write, but anyway here it is.

In Hong Kong, I do not really like the localised pizza, even with pizza at Pizza hut it has been localised.
The lasagna at Hong Kong's pizza hut is weird, it contains mashed potatoes which you wont find in the pizza hut in UK!

The localized pizzas in hong kong are usually topped with tasteless stringy mozzarella and cherry tomatoes.

Cheesy 6 stood out, because it had 6 different cheeses with slices of tomato and chives.
In the cheesy 6 series, there were three flavours, cheesy 6, cheesy 6 with sliced tomatoes and olive and cheesy 6 with ham and pineapple.
I was tempted to try the plain cheesy 6 but in the end I chose the one with sliced tomatoes and prawns because with proper cheese, the tomatoes go well with it.

I had this pizza twice and both times they were nice, however this time it was over cooked and the cheese got crispy.
It also depends on the chef and how evenly the chef distributes the toppings too, in this case the prawns were all on the centre of the pizza.

The taste of the pizza was nice and intense, and the tomato balanced it out, the cream cheese was very appropriate with the crust.
I loved the super thin chives, I wish there was more!

It was nice having a strong cheesy pizza made of six cheeses, but it was hard trying to taste each of the cheese apart from the cream cheese.
It would be cool if they gave out those boxes with the sample of the six difference cheeses that were given in their promotion to food reviewers and companies.

Anyway, if they had this pizza again, perhaps they could make it like the four seasons pizza, different cheeses on different slices so each cheese could be tasted.

The six cheeses were Monterey jack, romano, cheddar, cream cheese, mozzarella and parmesan.

__________________________
Monterey Jack is an American semi-hard cheese made using cow's milk with a low content of tyramine, an organic compound thought to be associated with headaches, it is frequently recommended as one of the few cheeses that is safe to eat for migraine sufferers.
__________________________
Romano cheese is a type of cheese that is very hard, salty and sharp.
It is usually grated and is different from normal cheeses because it requires more milk per pound, most water being lost in the creation process.
True romano cheese is made from sheep's milk (pecorino romano) or goat's milk (caprino romano), though mass produced versions, as in the United States, are often made from cow's milk (vacchino romano). Pecorino romano is sharp and tangy. Caprino romano, the goat's milk version, has an extremely sharp taste. Vacchino romano is very mild in taste. Most of the romano cheeses made in the United States are made from cow's milk or with a mix of cow's milk and either sheep or goat milk.
Romano cheese is made by a special method called "rummaging curd" which involves draining the curd quickly after molding. The surface is then pierced slightly before the cheese is salted. The cheese should age for five months before eating, and if the cheese is to be grated. Romano cheese has a fat content of 27%, and a water content of 32%.
Romano is named after Rome, where it has been made for over two thousand years, originally in the region of Latium. It is one of the oldest Italian cheeses.
__________________________
Cheddar
Cheddar cheese is a relatively hard, yellow to off-white, and sometimes sharp-tasting cheese originally made in the English village of Cheddar in Somerset.
__________________________
mozarella the term mozzarella is used for several kinds of Italian cheeses that are made using spinning and then cutting (hence the name, as the Italian verb mozzare means "to cut.
Fresh mozzarella is generally white, but may vary seasonally to slightly yellow depending on the animal's diet. It is a semi-soft cheese.
__________________________
parmesan known as Parmigiano-Reggiano is a hard granular cheese, cooked but not pressed, named after the producing areas near Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and Bologna (all in Emilia-Romagna), and Mantova (in Lombardia), Italy. Under Italian law only cheese produced in these provinces may be labelled "Parmigiano-Reggiano", while European law classifies the name as a protected designation of origin. It is informally known as the "king of cheese."
Parmigiano is the Italian adjective for Parma. Reggiano is the Italian adjective for Reggio Emilia. Parmesan is the French-language name for it and also serves as the informal term for the cheese in the English language. The name Parmesan is also used for cheeses which imitate Parmigiano-Reggiano, with phrases such as Italian hard cheese adopted to skirt legal constraints. The closest legitimate Italian cheese to Parmigiano-Reggiano is Grana Padano.
__________________________
cream cheese is a soft, mild-tasting, white cheese, defined by the US Department of Agriculture as containing at least 33% milkfat (as marketed) with a moisture content of not more than 55%, and a pH range of 4.4 to 4.9.

Initially I wasnt going to write this review because the menu bored me.
In the end, I ordered the Spanish fried fried or so called paella from the boring menu.
It was presented nicely with lots of herbs, it was slightly spicy, and I saw bits of dried shrimps and scallions which was obviously XO sauce.
Anyway, the drinks were good.
The apple and berry fizz and the creamy ribena punch were weirdly named champagne which doesn't make sense.

The apple fizz was nice and light, and the fresh strawberries were sweet.
The creamy ribena punch was also fizzy with a creaminess to it.

For their CHEF’s RECOMMENDATIONS (dinner sets), I wouldn’t say their food has improved but the choice of dinner sets has improved.

Previously they offered:
Smoked Salmon with Peach and Tomato Salad
Caesar Salad
French Style Escargots with Mashed Potato
Cream of Chicken Mushrooms Soup with Corn
Minestrone Soup with Cherry Tomatoes
Pan Fried Thin Beef Steak Spaghetti in Black Pepper Sauce
Aglio Olio with Prawn
Banana and Red Bean Pastry Roll
White Chocolate Strawberry Parfait
Tokyo Temptation Mini Pizza
Chicken Penne with Basil Sauce

The steak was tough and fatty as previously commented:
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2096549

This time the mains seems better, but still not enticing enough to order the starters, so just picked two mains with two soups.
The choice of soup was much better this time being mushroom, and salmon soup.
The mushroom soup was really mushroomy not like the one made with button mushrooms, the salmon soup was a bit plain, not how I thought it would taste.

The mains ordered the prawn skewers and pasta, and the curry chicken.

The prawns skewers were just ok, the sauce that went with it, didn’t really match.
The chicken was slightly better, at least it wasn’t dry, and the coating has herbs on it.

Their website needs to be updated with the new Chef’s Reco as it is still showing the previous one!!
