California Pizza Kitchen

Thin Crust Pesto Chicken Pizza

Chinese Chicken Salad

Hummus

Swung by California Pizza Kitchen at Forum for some good ol' American fare. Had my first taste of CPK in Philadelphia years ago. Fell in love with it. Maybe because I grew up eating asian food so pizza, american, anything angmoh type food is kinda like a treat to me. In any case, CPK was the first time I really tried a pizza that is not the standard Pizza Hut kinds that I grew up eating. I was blown away that pizza can actually taste good. :P

Hence when I came back to Singapore, I was really craving CPK and to my surprise they actually have a branch in Singapore! It has been my favorite go to place when I have those insatiable cravings for pizza and salads. 

Today we ordered hummus, chinese chicken salad and thin crust pesto chicken pizza. I am a big fan of thin crust pizzas, hence the fascination with Skinny Pizza where they have by far the thinnest crust ever. Love it whenever I hear the crunch of the crust and tasting savoury toppings at the same time. I think what I love about CPK is that every bite is full of flavor and the toppings aren't overly cheesy where you get sick after a certain point. Definitely will be back again. :)

Wholemeal wraps from Gardenia

Saw this at cold storage - Wholemeal wraps from Gardenia that you can actually use as a wrap, serve with dips and become a pizza crust. I was so fascinated by it. I've been thinking long and hard about pizza crusts. I love pizza but I need to find a way to create a low fat, low calorie yet healthy version. I could probably make a pizza with very thin crust but it is going to be a lot of work and I might not be able to find the time to do so. This wholemeal wrap is definitely going to come into handy!

Can't wait :)

The English Breakfast Pizza from Skinny Pizza

Skinny pizza is well known for their extremely thin crust that cracks when you bite into them. Was having a craving for it and we happened to walk past the branch at Raffles City. We ordered The English Breakfast pizza where they had bacon and an egg in the middle.

It was oh so yummy as we broke the yolk and let it spread out to the pizza slices while we devoured the entire thing in no time. Nothing like good ol' breakfast and pizza. Mmm. Oh and their menu also includes stuff like sliders, pasta and truffle fries! I'll definitely be back again.

Cost: $22 for The English Breakfast
