I am in my weekly meeting now and i am putting my multitasking skills to the test, my fingers are typing, my ears are listening to boss man and my eyes are trying their best to open. I had a super late night last night with layla and it was a good time catching up. And yes, alcohol was involved. Always a good time when alcohol is around.
Anyway, remember when i said this is going to be a pizza month? Well i have had pizza two times in a row yesterday! The first was during lunch and the second was during drinks! And on monday night me and my super sweet absolutely huggable man went to satisfy my cravings for all things sweet! Or at least we tried to, i still want more desserts.. I am going to try to sum it up as quickly as i can so bear with me for a bit.
Oooh before i start, i told you in an earlier entry that spizza tops my list. Let me tell you why.
When i first saw spizza’s menu i was very surprised to see that each pizza was named after a woman. There was olivia, margerita, victoria, nadia, katerina, isabella, juliana, rashidah etc. Interesting, no? Its like a tribute for women. Damn right. Its about time too! (just so you know, i’m kidding about a pizza named rashidah, but they should add it in no? =) maybe i should put it in their suggestion box.. hmmm..) And spizza serves italian pizza baked in a wood oven and it smells absolutely heavenly! Dont you just love the smell of wood-fired pizza?
The pizza is thin crusted with a perfect amount of cheese and garnished with a generous amount of arugula or this other vegetable that i forgot the name but taste so sweet and nice and crunchy and very fresh! I think its called rucola salad or something. But note to those with dietary restrictions, it is italian pizza so most items on the menu contain some pork.. But there are 2 chicken based pizza as well as a seafood pizza and just a plain cheese pizza. My favourite flavours are the Isabella, Olivia, Sofia and Vittoria. Isabella is with parma ham and rucola salad, Olivia is with salami and chillies, Sofia is seafood based and Vittoria is the one with the spicy chicken sausage. Yum yum! Ohhh.. and they also have a dessert based pizza with chocolate sauce and bananas… somebody scream aphrodisoac please! For those who know me, you should already guess by now that i am in love with this place. And guess what that aphrodisiac of a dessert is called? its Zara! oohhh, Zara….
And suddenly saying all the names of the pizza makes me sound like some kind of voyeur… hmm. Anyway the pizzas are 10 inch and 12 inch sized. For 10 inch you get it at $17 and 12 inch $21. For deliveries only 12 inch pizza available at $22.. And the best part is? Spizza delivers islandwide! For more info you can google spizza or go to spizza!
Okay on to my next pizza treat, we had pizza hut delivered and well i dont think i need to explain much about this.. pizza hut did not have any thin crusted pizzas for deliveries, and since i havent dined in at pizza hut for a long time i dont know whether they still have their thin crusted pizzas. (ps: did you know i used to work at pizza hut as a waitress. it was my first job after secondary school, and that was when life started for me, and i began to encounter my first experience as a minah-minahchi.. i truly lived up to my potential man!) Anyway, pizza hut’s pizza is pan pizza or stuff crust, and i dont really like those kinda pizza because i find that it’s too much bread, and i get full pretty easlily, and i’ll probably just end up picking the toppings off the bread. But my favourite flavour in pizza hut would be chicken supreme and hawaiian and pepperoni! i remember when i used to work at pizza hut and i was working in the kitchen and i could make my own pizzas or baked rice, i used to add alot of those chunky chicken into my pizzas or baked rice because i absolutely love that chicken! which probably comes as no surprise to you that my favourite baked rice at pizza hut is orleans delight. (because of the chicken!) I would have bought the lasagna but i have always found that the lasagna in pizza hut is not worth the price, cause it’s kinda small. anyway, pizza hut deliveries is having this promotion two pan pizzas for $23.90. which i find pretty worth it. and when you’re at it, go add the sweet and spicy drumlets, because it is (okay not to die for) TO FAINT FOR. maybe one of these days, i’d do a review on my chicken experience, because i tell you there’s alot of nice chicken places.
And then came dinner time, and i went to meet layla, but while waiting for her to arrive, i got hungry. I had wanted to have drinks at Ice Cold Beer, my next favourite bar, because of the crispy chicken wings and the ICB pizza which is simply delicious and just the right flavour to go with beers, but ICB was full that night. of course, it was happy hour then which explained the huge crowd, so i ended up at outdoors at peranakan place, which is where alleybar is. Their kitchen is going through a revamp though and the selection of the food menu is actually very little. but guess what they have? they have pizzas! So i ordered myself a chicken paprika pizza (wanted the ham but hairus was around and he is pretty strict dietary food-wise) instead and fries. And what was delivered was a huge ass bowl off huge fries @$6 and a 8 to 10inch pizza which was thin crusted too @$24. Now this thin crust is pretty special too me. It is very crunchy and thin towards the edges like papadam, but moving towards the center of the pizza, the bread became slightly thicker,yet still thin and softer, and the cheese is those melting kind that goes on and on when you pull at it! with tabasco, it is eso perfecto! The toppings are generous too, and i must say the servers are very attentive especially if you’re female. =) Anyway, just so you know, i didnt finish the pizza even though it was very nice, it’s just that there was too much pizza in one day!
I really wanted to tell you bout my midnight monday sweetness at swensons changi airport, but i am abit too tired to type. plus i have a bunch of things i need to do before 3pm today, so thus, (in a singsong voice) “so long,farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu, adieu to you and you and you….”
till i see you again,
much love
xoxo, Shid.
