It was a day when there was an early EPL match at 7pm that I wanted to catch, so food delivery looked like the best option for our family dinner.
I noticed a flyer in the newspapers just days earlier that promoted Domino's Fabulous Four, so this was as good a time as any to try it out. After all, it's been a while since I've last had Domino's Pizza.
Now, as the name implies, you get four of your favourites in one easy-to-share yummy box...a mouthwatering mix of three savoury treats and one sweet delight.
The first of which are 4 roasted chicken drummets that's tender to the bite with just enough of flavour in the meat. At least you won't have to fight for which part of the wing you want....hehe! ;D
Next, you have 4 cheesy mozzarella stix with molten, hot and melty cheese inside (which I didn't have any, of course) which turned out to be my son's favourite.
Then, there were 8 garlic cheese onion rings with a soft onion ring embedded within a golden and savoury breaded batter (that's barely hanging on unfortunately)...and not quite as crispy too but still edible.
Finally, the only sweet treat of the box were 8 mini cinnadots that were like tiny bite-sized squares of bread that's been dusted with cinnamon and sugar (I think) but not sweet at all. I don't know what that white sauce is accompanying these mini cinnadots but I know I didn't like it.
This Fabulous Four promotion comes with an order of two pizzas, so we went with Aloha Chicken of shredded chicken and pineapple. I actually called it Hawaiian Chicken when I made the order....oops, I think that's what Pizza Hut calls it but, hey, it's a name synonymous with chicken and pineapple, so I guess that name is universal....hehe! ;)
Whether you want to call it Aloha or Hawaiian Chicken...it's still one of our all-time favourite pizzas coz we love the fresh and juicy pineapple chunks! ^_*
Our other pizza was the Beef Pepperoni. Look at the abundant beef pepperoni slices! When I first started eating Domino's, I always went for their thin crust pizzas...what was I thinking? >_< I remembered them being crispy but I sometimes they're so overly crunchy it was like eating a hard biscuit. I now prefer their classic hand tossed crust, soft and pliable when warm....a little bit more jaw-exercise when cold.
A regular sized pizza is 9 inches and yields 6 pieces, so you do the math...12 slices for 3 pax means each person has to eat 4 slices...that's more than half a pizza each (and with sides)! That's why this is a value deal which can feed up to 4 persons.
Another reason why I like to order Domino's and not Pizza Hut is because we have a branch in our housing area. That means the pizzas arrive hot...and on time (in fact, in less than half an hour) or you get a free pizza the next time. I've never gotten any free pizza coupons from Domino's but quite a few from Pizza Hut (which I've never claimed) and I've since stopped eating Pizza Hut's pizzas altogether.
Of course they aren't as good as those wood-fired fresh and made-to-order pizzas we get from pizza specialists and/or restaurants, but (seriously) where can you get a whole 9-inch pizza for RM15 nowadays...delivered right to your doorstep....and for that Domino's pizzas are a pretty darn good option for TV nights! ^.^
I see that the madam of the house is a football fan! Sorry, I don't like football >.< or any kind of sports. And yes, when you want to watch the game or a show, ordering food is the way to go. That deal was very worth it. Besides this is the sort of food that is nice to eat in front of the TV :D
ReplyDeleteYes, I do like some sports...not participating....but only watching (like a couch potato)...haha! :D
DeleteWow! I just love everything you ate and shared here. They are all my favourites from thick to thin crusts, anytime. When I was living in the boarding school in States, I ate pizzas with the Koreans & Japanese friends every week like a ritual meals. Those days we drank lots of beer & coke like nobody's business with pizaa parties. Now I am so conscious and weigh all the calories around my belly. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteSobsss...as we grow older....all the calories seem to end up there! >_<
Deleteooo have yet to try this! thanks for the heads up.. looks good!
ReplyDeleteCheap and convenient :)
DeleteI have never had a pizza from Dominos. They do very well in London. In fact, I haven't had a pizza for about two years since my disappointment at Franco Manca. The latter do sour dough pizza etc and cooked in a wood fire. The pizza were real good and authentic like they do in Italy as I was told. Since the owner sold his business and with the expansion in London, the quality has gone down hill but it's popular with young people. Some of the local store owners including an Italian, would not eat the pizza from Franco Manca.
ReplyDeleteOoo....I like sourdough bread...and wood-fired pizzas are the best tasting. Sigh, that's what we have to face sometimes when the business changes hands...the food might not taste the same anymore :(
DeleteThanks for dropping by my blog...and commenting. Hope you visit again soon :)
is shakey's pizza still in malaysia? they used to be my favourite, but i don't think they did deliveries as well as domino's and pizza hut ;)
ReplyDeleteI think Shakey's Pizza have left us for a couple of years now (since 2012 I think).
DeleteIf there is Domino's near me, I would do like you too. But the one near me is Pizza Hut. In fact I never tried their delivery too. I usually stop there and tapao since it is on the way home only.
ReplyDeleteIf there's this thing called free delivery, I seldom ever tapau...hehe! ;D
DeleteWhen I was in uni we visited Pizza Hut often as they had an all-you-can-eat buffet for less than $10. Packed with students - this food reminds me of those fun times.
ReplyDeleteLooks like pizzas feature in a lot of students meal times...cheap and fulfilling! =)
DeleteI just had Domino's on Monday because my gas finished when half way cooking and my order never come >_<
ReplyDeleteI had this cheese burst which is another layer of cheese base being added on the original pizza base, so sinful~~ (but I know this cannot attract you since you don't like cheese =.=")
That's the worst thing, having your gas finish half way through cooking...luckily I don't have to deal with that since I'm using induction. You're right, extra cheese don't attract me....hehe! :D
