Pizza Hut

It's been ages since my last trip to a Pizza Hut joint, more than 2 years maybe. Last week, I was sitting in front of the TV and Pizza Hut's advertisement played and since then I have been craving for a slice of their pizza. Marketing gimmicks works I guess. I went in last Thursday and their special Thursday menu (HEBAT = hemat banget) is a 50% off on Crown Crust Black Pepper Chicken and also on their Puff Pastry Mushroom Cream Soup. Therefore a complete meal for two person, the bill came down relatively cheap; Rp 150,000.

I had the appetizers, entree, main and chocolate ice cream to end my lunch. The overall experience was okay, even though I was mildly irritated by the talkative waitress. All of the waitress were trained to speak in a certain way and memorize a certain paragraph. The whole thing becomes an act and in a way 'fake'. Nevertheless, it is a junk food chain restaurant and thus I can expect too much out of it.


Menu : Garlic Cheese Bread
Price : Rp 14,500++
Score : 6.0 / 10

>> I wanted to eat garlic bread so badly and when I saw this on menu I was derailed; tempted by the melted cheese all over on top. Even though I like just the garlic bread better, this garlic and cheese topping works beautifully together. The taste definitely works for me.
Menu : New Orleans Chicken Wings
Price : Rp 27,000++ (6 pieces)
Score : 6.5 / 10

>> Whenever I come to a Pizza Hut joint, I'll always order this BBQ chicken wings. It is damn tasty!! The small size of the wings actually compliments to the entire dish, you can just easily pick one up and bite the juicy meat easily off from the bones.
Menu : Puff Pastry Mushroom Cream Soup
Price : 17,000++
Score : 3.5 / 10

>> Bland, bland, bland. No seasoning what so ever. I really think the chef forget to sprinkle salt and pepper into the dish. The pastry was fine but the taste was just utter disappointment!

Menu : Crown Crust Black Pepper Chicken
Price : Rp 32,000++
Score : 6.5 / 10

>> Crown crust simply means; fish finger lay over close to edge of the rim. This personal pan taste yummy! The black pepper sauce was tasty and seasoned well, the vegetables on top was not overcooked, the chicken were still juicy and the dough was the right thickness.
Menu  : Choco Mania
Price : Rp 24,000++
Score : 4.0 / 10

>> Super market bought chocolate ice cream and I assume the brand might be "Diamond" or "Wall's". Nothing special about this, just bits and pieces of chocolate bits thrown together into a big bowl. The only great thing is that this has 4 big scoops!!!

Yummy Sydney Part 4

Alright this is the fourth part of the mini series, hahaha and yes I know it's getting a little bit too long? I'll try to speed this one up alright!

LINDT CAFE
Glorious sweet treats! I love this cafe! Melbourne doesn't have this cafe and thus when I was in Sydney, I made sure I pop myself here. I had 70% dark chocolate ice cream and a piece of hazelnut cake. Both were really really yummy. I wanted to eat more but the timing was not right. It was close to dinner time and have to save some room for my tummy.


KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN (KFC)
KFC wicked wings brings back a great deal of memories in my Melbourne days. My friends and I ate a lot of wicked wings back then, we can order something like 100 piece to share among 6 - 8 people at any one time. KFC in Jakarta doesn't offer this menu and thus when I was in Sydney I grabbed the opportunity to have 10 piece of wicked wings!!!

KOREE BBQ
I lost track of how many times I ate Korean in Sydney but this serves one of the best Ramen I had ever eaten. I love the Ramen Soup a lot !!! I'm not too sure about the Beef Galbi, because I felt the meat was too chewy and salty.

STREET FOOD
Snacks, snacks, snacks! I love to snack big time and so here some of the food I ate during my 'free time' hahaha! Let me tell you, I think I gained some weight upon my last day in Sydney!

Texas Chicken


Menu : Paket Eko 1 + Spicy Fried Chicken
Price : Paket Eko 1 = 2 piece cripsy chicken, rice & coke (Rp 28,000++)
Additional : One piece spicy chicken (Rp 10,500++), Fried Liver (Rp 3,000++)
Score : 6.5 / 10

Yesterday 7th December 2010 was a public holiday here in Indonesia. DH wanted to eat Texas so freaking bad that I was dragged all the way to Taman Anggrek (TA) just to eat this piece of fried chicken. Honestly, it has been a while since I went to TA and might be 10 years since I ate Texas. To add on, DH bragged so much about Texas' chicken and he claimed to be the best junk food chain. My hope and expectations was high!

I ordered a piece of crispy original and crispy spicy. Hmm... it was crunchier and saltier than KFC. I'm not sure to say it is better than KFC's but I reckon it was still pretty tasty! The menu served in Texas however was such a variety. I was astonished and very curious to try actually! I noticed they have waffles and a few different ice cream sundae toppings. Next, they have fried livers and chicken hearts too. Soup, burgers, spicy rice and mash potatoes were available too.

Kentucky Fried Chicken ( KFC )

Menu : Two Piece Crispy Fried Chicken with French Fries and Coke
Price : Rp 33,000

Fried chicken is the good old comfort food and yet still very very effective. I was all hungry and tired a few days ago and really need something that is just unhealthy. I understood very well that "unhealthy food" means "yummy junk food" hahaha! I was driving myself back home from the factory and it was already 3 pm. I haven't had any food entering my mouth and so I was all grumpy and cranky and starving. I decided to go to Pantai Indah Kapuk's KFC branch as they have a drive through.

The drive through there wasn't effective, the staffs were incredibly slow and soon behind me there start to have a queue of cars. I thought it might be faster if I went inside the store and buy it from the counter. Nevertheless, I ordered myself this beautiful 2 pieces of golden fried chicken and went eagerly speeding my way home. After I reached my house, I sat down and start eating. While really enjoying it half way, I realized I shouldn't be eating junk food as I have a little bit of cholesterol and this is an extremely oily dish will certainly do my body harm. But the gluttony inside me just simply ignored it. Upon finishing, I promised myself to eat KFC not more than once a month hahahaha...
