Domino's Pizza

Mentioned in my previous post, Domino's Pizza first came to Singapore in 1992 and exited in 2000. After a 10 year absence, Domino's Pizza made a comeback in Singapore! Singapore is the 67th country where Domino's has established its presence.

Domino's Pizza (Kovan)

Domino’s Pizza specialises in fast food pizza delivery. If you are thinking of the likes of Pizza Hut or Canadian Pizza, you are on the right track. Currently, Domino's Pizza has 13 outlets in Singapore. In addition, there is a 30 minute delivery guarantee. No more having to wait 1 hour for your pizzas. Your pizza is guaranteed to be hot and fresh upon arrival at your doorstep (freshly made and delivered fresh!). This is the product satisfaction guarantee by Domion's (otherwise you can request for a full refund). Moreover, Domion's Pizza has a 15 minute take-away guarantee and is Halal Certified. Lastly, all prices stated are Nett (no service charge, no delivery charge, no hidden charges).

GPS Tracker

Domino's Pizza is the first pizza company in Singapore to introduce the GPS Tracker. GPS Tracker allows customers to track the status of their order from the moment it is ordered to delivery. Food for thought GPS stands for Global Positioning System Great Pizza Service.

Double Loaded Chicken Pizza Promotion

Domino's Pizza recently launched a Double Loaded Chicken Pizza Promotion. This means that customers get double the amount of smoke chicken breast for all chicken pizzas (The Big BBQ, Hawaiian Paradise, Meatzza, Classy Chic, Chilli Chicken, Chicken Temptation, or Classified Chicken) at half the usual price it would cost for the addition. 

Double Loaded Chicken Meal $39.80

There is a 'The Double Loaded Chicken Meal' promotion for $39.80, valid till March 2012. 

Golden Roasted Drumlet (6 pieces)

This is my favourite among all the sides. Juicy and tasty. 

Twisty Bread

Crazy Chicken Crunchies (left), Garlic Cheese Onion Rings (right)

The Crazy Chicken Crunchies was marinated with Tom Yum spices. 

I had tried the Garlic Cheese Onion Rings before. This time, I can see the cheese on top. My guess is the previous time I tried this, I got home late and the cheese might have melted. 

Hawaiian Paradise (Classic Hand Tossed)

My favourite pizza is still Hawaiian Paradise; Mozzarella cheese with smoked chicken breast, turkey ham and pineapple. Hard to go wrong with this, unless you are not in the pizza business.  The juicy pineapples enhanced the flavour of the pizza. 

Classified Chicken 

This is good too! The Classified Chicken consists of smoked chicken breast, onions and mushrooms. Cheesy and there seems to have been other ingredients added that complement the taste of this pizza very well. Delicious! 

Classic Pepperoni

Classic Pepperoni comes along with lots of beef pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. 

The Big BBQ

The Big BBQ consists of smoked chicken breast, onions and green peppers. 

Chicken Temptation

Chicken Temptation; smoked chicken breast, turkey ham, green pepper and red pepper! Are you tempted by its appearance? The green and red pepper beautified the pizza and add a distinctive taste to the pizza.

Chilli Chicken

If you are someone who likes spicy stuff. This is for you! Chilli Chicken; smoked chicken breast, onions, red peppers and chilli flakes. 

Classy Chic

Classy Chic. As the names goes, it is all about chicken! Ingredients include smoked chicken breast, chicken sausage, onions, green peppers and ripe olive.

Chocolate Lava Cake

Chocolate Lava Cake (molten chocolate flowing down)

This is the dessert; Chocolate Lava Cake! We were told that a lot of effort (experimenting and food tasting) went into making this perfect. This should be a favourite among ladies. Crispy outer layer. Once you break through the layer of cake, molten chocolate will start oozing out. If I can borrow the slogan on the box, it is flowing with passion. Sinful but delicious!

You might have noticed that in the previous post,  I mentioned that I was won over by Domion's Pizza for its fast delivery time (in my previous post, the pizza was delivered in just 25minutes!), nett prices and delicious pizzas? Today, I still came to a similar conclusion. At the same time I can add customer service and ease of ordering online as plus points.

Thank you omy.sg (Alvin) and Domino's Pizza (Linda and Team) for the kind invite, hospitality and hosting the session. 

ps: I almost forgot to add that you can now order for a delivery 7 days in advance!

Citygate Outlets Food Court (Hong Kong)

We went to Ngong Ping 360 to visit the Giant Buddha. After that visit, we took a cable car back and went to Citygate Outlet for lunch. Citygate Outlet is a shopping mall with international brands offering discounts all year (305-70%) round.

As it was around 1230pm, there was queues at the restaurants. Hence, we decided to eat at the food court which is operated by Food Republic. Very similar to food courts in Singapore in terms of food, variety, layout and concept.

After walking 1 round, I had no idea what to eat. I wanted to eat something that cannot be found in Singapore. In the end, I decided on the stall called Noodle & Congee.

Menu (Chef's Recommendation)

I ordered Set A: Wonton Lo Mein with Steamed Vegetable HK$40 (S$6.67).

Set A: Wanton Noodles with Steamed Vegetable

The Wanton Noodles was so-so, well this is a food court after all. If you have time, you would be better off going somewhere else.

Mak's Noodle 麥奀雲吞麵世家 (Hong Kong)

Mak's Noodle 麥奀雲吞麵世家 has been around for a long time since 1968 and pride itself with having been awarded with a Michelin guide recommendation. (it is also one of the World's cheapest Michelin starred restaurant) In addition, it has a reputation for specialising in serving one of the best wantons noodles in Hong Kong.

Today, Mak's Noodle has several outlets in Hong Kong and Macau. We visited the outlet at The Peak. It is located just on the ground floor of The Peak Galleria.

Since there's 6 of us, we ordered 3 "Sets for 2's (A)". Each Set of "Sets for 2's (A)" cost HK$125 (S$20.83) consist of 2 Wonton with Nooodles in Soup, 1 Pork & Shrimp Dumpling in Soup and 1 Vegetable with Oyster Sauce.

Wanton Noodles

sidenote: the chilli at the top left background is delicious

Mak's Noodle Wanton Noodles are served in standard rice bowl. This is to prevent the noodles from absorbing all the broth and becoming soggy. (I doubt the theory) The noodles were springy and seemed to be entangled together. Moreover, it is quite different from those in Singapore. The broth was unique. It was clear and very tasty. Most likely have been cooked using pork bones and shrimps.  Each wanton contained 1 piece of prawn that was very fresh and crunchy. Moreover, it was wrapped in a very thin wanton skin that enhanced the crunchness.

The portion is small if you are hungry, one bowl will not be enough. As a result, I ordered 1 more bowl of Wonton Noodle from the a la carte menu which cost HK$33 (S$5.50)

Pork & Shrimp Dumpling in Soup

Pork & Shrimp Dumpling in Soup was delicious. The broth is is similar to the one in the wanton noodles. The dumplings contained mined pork, shrimp, bamboo shoots and water chestnut. The dumpling was well marinated, very flavourful and crunchy.

Vegetable with Oyster Sauce

Vegetable with Oyster Sauce was a simple dish. Steamed vegetable that was cooked just right with oyster sauce. Again, the big stems was an unpleasant sight at first. But after trying it, I find that I like it! Very crunchy and fresh! A simple dish yet so delicious! I am starting to feel the difference between the vegetables we eat in Singapore and Hong Kong/China. Hong Kong and China's vegetables are just so big and fresh.

Overall, the food at Mak's Noodle was delicious! But the portion of the wanton noodle is really way to small for a guy. Ordering an a la carte bowl of wanton noodle is quite expensive considering the small portion. With the set, it is more value for money. I will definitely be back if I am in Hong Kong again, quite like the vegetables and dumplings.
