Thread: Encore Pizza at Carrefour

Anyone tried this place?

My wife's cousin brought us there tonight, first impression was ok, not the most ideal place for a fancy pizza place but whatever. As far as pizza goes its expensive, that was until I realized it was tuesday night which is %50 off all food night which made ordering my medium size chicken tandoori all that much easier. So anyway it arrives and the medium size I was expecting is just that, I swear if I tried hard enough I could have fit the whole thing in my mouth. Regardless of the size I ate it anyway and I managed to score a slice of everyone else's as well and I have to say it was the best Pizza I've have ever tasted anywhere in my life, no bull, its that good. If anyone is in the area on tuesday check it out, definitely worth it.

Side note though

Here is the meal deal advertising thingy that was sitting on the table

Deal 1 -
1 Small Pizza,
1 chicken Wings (thats right it say's "wings" even though you only get one)
2 Teh or 2 glasses of ****
Serves 2 People
45,00RP

Deal 2 -
1 Regular pizza
1 pasta, garlic bread
4 teh or 4 ****
Serves 4 People
90,00RP

Deal 3 -
2 Large Pizzas
1 Family garlic bread
6 Teh or 5 ****
Serves 6 People
136,00RP

Deal 4
1 Jumbo Pizza
1 french fries
1 fried rice
2 Srv chicken Strips
Serves 8 People
8 teh or 8 ****
181,00RP

I'm not sure how they've worked out the "serves per person" but I think I could handle a Deal 4 all on my own, maybe they've forgotten to add "Kids Menu" to it somewhere.

To my shame I have to admit that when dining in Pizza Hut or any other pizza joint outside of the continental US I can polish off the Large pizza on my lonesome - no problem! They are always listed as "feeds four", the question is, four what?

Now in the US it's a different matter - there a large Pizza will last you 2/3 days and fill 2/3 people!

As the comedian Billy Connolly quipped: "my advice to you if you want to lose a bit of weight, don't eat anything that comes in a bucket..."

Went to Carrefour the other week and they were standing at the bottom of the escalator giving away free samples of pizza.

In my usually shy way I took 5 samples (to their shock) and asked them how much a whole pizza costs. To my shock and horror they said about Rp 120,000.

Now one small change I have noted in myself after living in a small developing Asian country is that I can absolutely not bring myself to eat a fecking pizza that costs the equivalent of 2 days pay for a normal worker, no fecking way!

It would choke me to try! Don't care how good it was or if I got a free BJ for desert...

Well....? Maybe for a free BJ.

I'm with you on this one Markit. The other night I went to pickup a BBQ chicken at a newish place in jalan Petitinget (can't remember the name). They wanted Rp100.000 for a BBQ chook! I told them to forget it.

When I can buy a fresh chicken at the market for Rp20 to 25.000, I think 80 thousand to cook it's a bit rich!

BTW Markit, what's a BJ?
