Cheesy Bites Trio Pizza Pre-launch Party Invitation

                         Growing up as a Pizza Hut fan and now blogging as a Pizza Hut fan.

And maybe this post might just make you a convert!

This was my second bloggers' exclusive pre-launch party preview. We were promptly ushered to our seats and presented with the menu for a drink order.
Customer service that touches your heart.
My brother was very thankful for a drink after our mad rush through the working crowd on a rainy night.

                A lychee green tea on my recommendations, was a refreshing treat for his senses.

Shortly after,

we were served the Hut's Platter.

Perfect for sharing.

Even if my brother was abstaining from deep fried items.

That's just the perfect excuse to polish off all the spicy chicken drumlets.

Sigh...

                                            I'm kidding. See? We're still happy siblings.

Because that just means more fries for me!

With barbecue cheese sauce.

Even he couldn't resist sneaking a couple of fries. :)

And what I love about the previews at Pizza Hut?

You get to see the behind the scenes -making- of their new creations.

Even the toppings have standard measurements.

So you'll be sure you won't be compromised on the quality and quantity of ingredients on your pizza.

What a burst of pretty colour! 

And in case you were wondering?

This is so labour intensive that they are selling only one standard size.

No large sized cheesy bites or the kitchen people would have a field day putting on dashes of colour on your bites.

And always the heart thumping action watching fellow bloggers battle it out with a challenge round.

But it was a friendly competition.

Who says girls always play rough?

Andrew must be a good teacher.

And now he has to suffer because his disciples have done well!

And boy, were they pleased with their creations. :)

And as a reward, they got to bring home the pizzas they made!

Aww.

  

If you always thought Pizza Hut was just good for their pizzas,

you'd be much surprised by their Hut's Chicken Steak.

A generous piece of chicken breast skin on, for maximum satisfaction.

The mushroom gravy and tomato salsa was also a treat! 

And there's more!

With a Seafood Parchment Pasta.

A deliciously spicy tomato based pasta with generous servings of seafood.

Be warned that it is high on the spice-o-meter. 

Caught on camera.

For using the camera.

And look what we have here!

The star of the night.

Oh we could hardly wait to pull these apart!

Black and white sesame mix had a brilliantly fragrant taste when you bite onto those little seeds.

And I loved the chipotle stuffed with cream cheese.

I'd skip the nacho cheese dip on this. It was perfect on its own.

Last but not least,

the parmesan.

That went perfect with the nacho cheese sauce.

Boy were we stuffed by the time we were done!

Oh yum!

Uma Uma Ramen and a side of fries at Robert Timms.

Starting our day at Forum the shopping mall.

There's no other reason for me to be there besides Toys' R Us!

Walking in just made me feel like a kid all over again.

Feel like.

Apparently for my friend,

he was just a big kid.

Nerf guns.

Honestly?

He was shopping for a kid.

Seems like that was just a handy excuse for him to get one for himself.

And at last count, he modified it.

For longer distances.

And just for the record,

these sponge discs hurt alright!

So we decide on ramen.

Uma uma ramen rides on its fame as a Japanese ramen chain from Fukuoka.

The noodles here are done Hakata style with thin al dente noodles, a rich tonkotsu broth with spicy miso and topped with flavourful charsiu slices.

Sounds good?

Apparently, that's all the good there is.

Take our advice,

ramen anywhere else is a better bang for your buck.

So something's gotta make up for this hey.

Coffee break at Robert Timms at Somerset.

I love that it's always quiet here. :)

Uh huh.

It's telepathic.

My lion knows I'm angry about wasting stomach space at lunch.

White chocolate latte.

Blur bear that's too cute.

Latte.

And those fries.

Oh those thick cut fries with mayo and tomato sauce.

I've totally forgotten about my dismal lunch. :)

And just because it's been forever since we were out.

We headed to Jones to pick up some duck fat for his chicken confit attempt.

And another latte break.

That was our lazy Saturday.

Seven hours just chillaxing.

And look what I came home to!

Oh my marbled cheese brownies. :)

Yum!

Birthday Treat @ Au Chocolat

With absolutely no plan in mind.

No destination considered.

We hopped onto a train and headed towards the city.

Tapas perhaps?

Two hungry people.

Probably not.

Oh it's about to rain.

Let's just do something indoors and sheltered from the rain.

How about MBS then.

Au Chocolat?

Dinner.

Let's go!

Oh.

A store!

Selling a selection of sweets and treats, a takeaway gelato counter and their adorable mascot.

And chocolate of course!

Truffles.

With generous dustings of cocoa powder.

Train tracks! But there weren't any trains running.

It reminded me of the Macdonalds at the old King Albert Park.

There was an old world charm in the theme of their decorations.

With clocks that displayed different timings.

I didn't pay close attention.

Might've been local and one other time zone?

What should we have for dinner?

Signatures of course.

Duck confit with mash, carrots and poached pears with creamed spinach.

Deep fried instead of pan fried for a confit made it drier than it would've ideally been.

But fork tender and satisfyingly crisp on the outside.

My girlfriend was extremely pleased with the order.

It's the first time I've seen her wipe her plate clean!

Calamari Rings with their special green sauce.

Just looks like tartar with chives perhaps? 

I actually made an order for a chicken mushroom crepe and side of truffle fries.

Till...

My google page decided to load itself.

And the reviews appeared in front of me.

From a few websites.

"Can you check on my order. I'd like to make a switch from crepe to burger, fries to calamari. Since I already have fries on the side."

"Sorry mam, it's already been cooked."

"Well. Would someone else possibly order what I just did?"

"Let me check again."

"Okay. I've voided it and put in your new order."

"Thank you. SO much." :)

I enjoyed it.

We both did. 

She could eat the bacon and portobello mushroom and fries even though she didn't take beef.

MMmmm. 

This is our bestseller for 2012.

The Praline.

It wasn't a top choice for me honestly.

I wanted a chocolate tart.

Or maybe an apple pie.

Hmm.

And just to balance out the sweetness.

We chose a tart White chocolate raspberry cheesecake.

I could taste the white chocolate.

Which was a definite plus.

And the raspberry swirls were refreshingly tart.

But the base?

Soggy and insignificant.

Must've been kept for a bit.

We were stuffed.

But Friday night hey.

We had to be out for some drinks.

Let's do Coast on the MBS Boardwalk.

Lychee mojito.

Upsized.

At $17.

And Australian chillax bar.

They've got support from the Aussie community.

So much so that there's a private dining area located in a level below inside the bar.

How privileged mate!

These might actually be refried.

And full on FAT.

But let's just do it with the works.

Tomato, thai chilli sauce and garlic aioli.

We had additional pots of these sauces.

Deliciously addictive.

And at $9,

decently satisfying portions.

It was a crazy Friday night out with girlfriends.

Thanks for the birthday treat.

Much <3 ed="ed" hey.="hey." p="p">

BURP. 

*hugs :)
