Tortillas and Fried chicken at Pizzahut

Last year they had the pizza with six different cheeses called cheesy 6 and this year they have come up with the 7-cheese pizza with added Provolone.

Anyway, I was meant to try this pizza, but then I saw other stuff on the menu and ended up trying those.

The items were similar to the ones served at Spaghetti house.
It was interesting that they have created a dish similar to poutine and American fries with the use of different sauces on top.

In the end ordered: Crispy Chicken Strips with French Fries, Prawns Tomato Tortilla, Squid Ink Risotto with Shrimp in Lobster Sauce and Baked Cinnamon Apple Crispy Bread bites with Vanilla Ice-cream.

Crispy Chicken Strips with French Fries
It reminded me of chicken at Spaghetti house, so I ordered it.
When they arrived, the chips were overdone. The chips and chicken was too salty that it stung and the chips tasted like they were soaked in salted water before they were fried.
Apart from that, it took a long time for the fries and chicken to cool down.

Prawns Tomato Tortilla:
Just wanted to eat something similar to a pizza, and this was basically a tortilla covered with cheese and prawns similar to the 7-cheese one, so I ordered that.
Anyway I liked the way they used the tortilla base because it was extremely thin and crispier than the thin crust one.
The texture was similar to filo pastry at the edges.

Squid Ink Risotto with Shrimp in Lobster Sauce
The lobster sauce was too salty, but overall the dish was delicious, especially the pieces of octopus and the rice.

Baked Cinnamon Apple Crispy Bread bites with Vanila Ice-cream
Although the dessert arrived along with the food, it came at a good timing because I liked the way the dessert had time to cool down and the ice-cream melted, so the crispy bread bites were equally covered in ice-cream.
It would have been nice if the apples could taste more tart.

Not only for beef lovers only

I am not a fan of beef or beef noodles but this place offers noodles with prawns, so for people who do not eat beef, they can order this dish.

I have not tried Taiwanese style prawn noodles before, so I was not sure what to expect.

When it came, the broth was red, and the noodles were topped with lemongrass, prawns and tomato and there was a layer of oil on top.
I am not sure if they have this in Taiwan, but it reminds me of Tom Yum Kung which is Thai.

The noodles were yellow and thinner than the ones served in the beef noodles, they were not soft enough, so I left it for a while to absorb the soup.
The soup was not as spicy as it looked and it was strong in lemongrass and prawn taste.

The tomatoes were nice and soft, the skin came off easily and it was nicely flavoured by the broth.
The noodles came with a choice of soybean milk or grosvenor momordica with honey drink.

I chose the grosvenor momordica drink which was slightly too sweet, but as there was water given I diluted the drink with it.

Maxim's $10 cakes

The cakes in the cabinet looked inviting and they cost $10 per slice.
I bought three different cakes to try: blackforest, red bean and taro and dark chocolate.
Left: Black Forest, Middle: Red bean and taro, Right: Dark Chocolate

Black forest cake slice
This was quite disappointing, the cake was made the Chinese way, with Chinese cream in the middle.

Dark chocolate cake slice:
The taste of this one was not bad, at least it did not have Chinese chocolate cream that tastes like salted butter cream.
It actually tasted like Sara Lee’s double layer chocolate cake.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Red bean and taro cake slice:
I did not think I would like it because I don’t like red beans anyway.
But the cake was made of two layers, red bean cake on top and taro cake on the bottom.
The sweetness was too sweet which ruined it.
