Garlic Bread, Spicy Drumlets, Pepperoni Pizza, Curry Zazzle Baked Rice… at the mention of these and it will set a curve on everyone’s lips. Oh, how we all love Pizza Hut, a household name that is so familiar and one that we all grew up with! But this Christmas, apart from these classic favourites, get ready to embark on a tantalising journey with Pizza Hut as we sit back, relax and cosy up for a heartening meal with several festive specials.

Last week, I had an early Christmas celebration with 50 of my readers at Pizza Hut. We were all in for plates after plates of happy food – Christmas Platter, Criss Cross Fries, Truffle Mushroom Baked Pasta, Roasted Chicken Leg and the new Christmas Double Decker Pizza!

We are also giving away 2 X S$50 vouchers, read more to find out how you can win them.

We started our party with Criss Cross Fries and a Christmas Platter which comprises the addictive Crispy Tempura Prawn, the irresistible Cheesy Baked Potato and the Spicy BBQ Drumlets, which is a new permanent item on Pizza Hut’s menu. The original Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Drumlets are one of my favourite items at Pizza Hut, and before this, I would have never imagined that it could actually taste even better. But Pizza Hut has done the impossible with the Spicy BBQ Drumlets! The original Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Drumlets are marinated with an addictive BBQ sauce – they are so good that I can easily polish off a dozen on my own.

After having the appetisers, two lucky readers joined me to learn how to bake the Double Decker Pizza. The restaurant manager gave us a step-by-step guide on preparing the Double Decker Pizza. It was a priceless experience since it is not everyday that we get to witness the secrets behind those amazing Pizza Hut pizzas. And to top it off, we all went home appreciating pizzas a lot more after understanding how the process of creating one is so intricate with so much depth and considerations going behind every ingredient, every measurement and every step.

We then proceeded to dig in to the array of main courses – Truffle Mushroom Baked Pasta, Roasted Chicken Leg, and the Christmas Double Decker Pizza. The general consensus from everyone was that the roasted chicken leg was an unexpected pleasant surprise, for it was every bit succulent and well-marinated, grilled to retain its freshness and natural sweetness, and flavourful on both the skin and flesh.

We were also marvelled by how good the Truffle Mushroom Baked Pasta was. Perfumed with a strong hint of truffle and generously topped with chunky mushrooms, every spoonful was a joy and soon before we knew it, the entire plate was gone and resting happily in our tummies.

While Pizza Hut is famous for its iconic pizzas, it has been creating many mouth-watering pastas and main courses over the past few years, and I dare to say that they are as good as the pizzas.

The Double Decker Pizza has quickly become one of my favourite pizzas – I love the Hawaiian and Super Supreme – at Pizza Hut. My main criterion for a good pizza is that it must be cheesy enough, and with four different types of cheeses, the Double Decker Pizza definitely meets, and in fact exceeds the requirement. Surrounded with a cheesy stuffed crust, it combines two layers of Christmassy toppings – separated by a tortilla – in a pizza. It is lavishly topped with chicken pepperoni, capsicums, Christmas turkey, and the sensational mango mayonnaise. It is a very Christmassy pizza that is perfect for sharing with your family and loved ones during this celebratory period.

To celebrate its 30th Anniversary in April this year, Pizza Hut Singapore has come up with a brand new menu with 25 additions. A whopping selection of brilliant dishes created from the finest ingredients and a passion for food excellence, Pizza Hut is sure to wow you with all the exciting goodies in store for you.

Here is a countdown of 10 reasons why you should go to Pizza Hut:

#10. 25 new additions to the menu – 6 appetisers, 3 pastas, 2 pizzas, 6 Western favourites, 1 baked rice, 2 desserts and 5 beverages.

Scroll down, read on.

#9. I wanted Pizza, and they surprised me with Crispy Chicken Chop.

OKAY DON’T PANIC. Pizza Hut still has their awesome Pizzas on the menu, but they are going to spoil you with more choices.

There are six options under the ‘Western Favourites’ menu: Hut’s Chicken Steak (S$14.5), Crispy Chicken Chop (S$13.9), New Orleans Chicken Wrap Wraps (S$10.9), Cheez Shroomies Wrap (S$10.9), Beefy Delight Wrap (S$10.9), and Fish ‘N’ Chips (S$13.9)

Amongst them, I like the Crispy Chicken Chop. Fried to a gorgeous shade of golden brown, it was surprisingly tasty. If you are a fan of cheese, be sure to try the Cheez Shroomies Wrap.

As the brand strives to be the favourite casual-dining restaurant in Singapore, Pizza Hut has embarked on expanding beyond its current menu to give customers more reasons to celebrate and gather at its restaurants, and of course, to spoil them with the wide array of food choices. Ladies and Gentlemen, a warm welcome to the new Pizza Hut!

#8. Cheese + Mussels = Cheesy Mussels.

Pizza Hut has 24 full-fledged restaurants, and they deliver to almost every Singapore household from 30 delivery stores. I am sure you already know this, so let me tell you something you don’t know.

Cheese + Mussels = Cheesy Mussels. That’s right, Cheesy Mussels (S$7.9).

It seems to be a trend to have a middle name nowadays, so let me think of one for Pizza Hut’s Cheesy Mussels. How about Cheesy-Wonderful-Mussels? I think it sounds more than wonderful, in a tantalising way. And oh yes, the cheesy mussels were really cheesy, in a good way of course. No pun intended.

PS. I can almost smell the cheese once again as I type this blog post.

#7. Fries are always good for you, and it tastes even better when you eat it with pizzas.

Pizza Hut served so many dishes that day, and amongst all, we could not stop eating the Thick Fries On Dip (S$6.50) which came with the Salsa and Grilled Cheese sauce.

#6. Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Drumlets, Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Drumlets, Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Drumlets.

Everyone loves Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Drumlets. Pizza Hut has make-it-best with the Hut’s Platter (S$13.9) – Tempura Prawns, Calamari Rings, Criss Cross Fries, and of course, Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Drumlets.

#5. After Stuffed Crust, Crunchy Cheesy Bites, Starzbites and Cheesy 7, Pizza Hut is going to rock your world with Captain’s Catch.

I don’t know about you, but I have never imagined using fillet as the key ingredient for Pizza. You know what is the best part? There were sour cream and onion potato chips on the pizza too. HOW EVIL!

Try to picture crispy Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips, Fillet and melty cheese on a pizza – you get the idea of Captain’s Catch.

#4. You like wraps? There are three wraps on Pizza Hut’s new menu.

Amongst the three wraps under Pizza Hut’s ‘Western Favourites’, we tried the Cheez Shroomies wrap (S$10.9). Let me try it again: Cheeeeezeee Shroomies Wrap! How cute. Pizza Hut obviously knows their customers very well because the tortilla wrap is filled with grilled cheese sauce. There are also Button Mushroom, Onion, Garlic, and it comes with Criss Cross Fries and Salad on the side.

#3. Pizza Hut has Spanish Paella. Oops! I meant the ‘Seafood Fiesta’ on the new menu.

As we were trying the Seafood Fiesta (S$13.5), we couldn’t help but notice the resemblance to the typical Spanish Paella. And true enough; the dish is really inspired by the classic Spanish symbol. This is definitely one of my favourite dishes on the new menu.

#2. Honey, I love you Pizzas. I really do.

Will you, Brad Lau, take Captain’s Catch as your ___? For better, for worse, for richer for poorer; in sickness and in health; to have and to cherish… Yes I do.

BUT I want the Turkey Bacon ‘N’ Shrooms Pizza too. Oh, Oh, Oh, Pizza Hut also has a new pizza for dessert (SEE PICTURE #1). Can you believe it? A savoury-sweet pizza dessert!

Drizzled with chocolate sauce, the Choco-Berry Banana (S$6.5) has fresh bananas and strawberries on a crispy thin pizza base. Honey, let me finish the Pizzas first.

#1. See Number 10 to 2.

Woah, we are at the end of the post already? I wanted to tell you more about Pizza Hut’s new menu, but there’s only so much I can say here.

See you at Pizza Hut, and Happy 30th Anniversary to Pizza Hut!
