Super Supreme \/ Hut\u2019s Couple @ Pizza Hut<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ling knows that every now and then – say about once a month – I\u2019ll have an insatiable craving for pizza. The need can be quite whimsical actually; we could be at any ordinary shopping mall heading towards the foodcourt for dinner, when without warning, I\u2019ll blurt out my pizza craving, and I\u2019ll get cranky real quick if I don\u2019t get it soon.<\/p>\n

\"dining-121.jpg\"I\u2019m not alone in my fascination with pizzas, at least here in Singapore. On more than a few occasions, there\u2019s been articles in the Sunday Times presenting comparative reviews of the major pizza chains in Singapore. Heck; even <\/a>Sakae Sushi<\/a> is coming up with their own Japanese-styled pizzas, or so I remembered from a flyer put into our mailbox the other day.<\/p>\n

I used to be a big fan of <\/a>Pizza Hut<\/a> actually; not so much because of the quality of its pizzas. Rather, some years ago the restaurant offered a pizza buffet deal at very low and attractive cost; eat all you can for around $12 at lunch. I stuffed myself with that deal more times than I can remember during those few years the package ran, and I wonder if the buffet thing was killed several years ago because too many people like me were gobbling more pizzas down than the $12 price was worth.<\/p>\n

In any case, we hadn\u2019t tried <\/a>Pizza Hut<\/a> since my leaving and return from Perth almost 4 years ago now; so we checked it out the Hut\u2019s Couple set for two at <\/a>Compass Point<\/a> on a Thursday evening last week. For $25, excluding GST and other charges, we got a 9 inch Super Supreme, two servings of the soup of the day, and drinks. Ling had just tried making our own Cream of Mushroom soup the night before, and the restaurant\u2019s version tasted rather poor compared to Ling\u2019s very magnificent effort just before. The pizza was as I remembered it; pretty serviceable and edible. However, the real disappointment was in its size. The menu stated the pizza was enough for 2-3 persons. Well, personally, I could had finished that pizza all on my own. It really wasn\u2019t very big. I imagine two light eaters could get by with it, but two hungry males on that 9 inch would be fighting over its portions soon enough. The final bill came to just over $30 including charges, and also as we changed the Pepsi drinks to other choices.<\/p>\n
