[Review] New Nasi Lemak Pizza from Pizza Hut Singapore

Pizza Hut Singapore just launched their new Nasi Lemak Pizza yesterday and we tried it out to have a taste of their interpretation of a local favourite.

Just like the favourite local delight served in hawker centres across the island, the Nasi Lemak Pizza features the iconic combination of spicy chicken chunks, egg, cucumber and ikan bilis, all topped with Pizza Hut’s house brand sambal sauce.

Just as we do at our favourite stall, customers can opt for extra toppings of sambal sauce and ikan bilis when we order online through the Pizza Hut website or App, so we can customise the toppings the way we like it.

How did it taste?

We like the crisp of the ikan bilis which complement the soft pizza dough well when eaten together with the sweet sambal sauce that would be palatable even for those who don’t take spicy food. It does taste like eating Nasi Lemak, with the rice substituted with pizza dough. The only thing I felt could have been better would be for the chicken to feature actual chicken parts versus the fried nuggets used. Nonetheless, it still comes well together as a construct and is an sedap pizza to try for the novelty.

Verdict: worth a try!

To complement the Nasi Lemak Pizza, Pizza Hut Singapore also unveiled a range of related brand-new menu items to choose from, such as the Sambal Chicken or Prawn Pasta (from S$13.50 for takeaway and delivery), and Spicy Chicken Pop (S$5.90).
