In the United States, Pizza Hut is just a typical, regular chain restaurant with mediocre pizza. On the other hand, PIzza Hut is an exported good in Korea where people go to celebrate their birthdays, anniversaries, or other special occasions.
To "celebrate" the end of a long (3 hours) hair make over, Mom and I went to Pizza Hut for lunch. We ordered the lunch special, which included a choice pasta, mini personal pizza, and a salad bar for two. The main reason we went to Pizza Hut is for its salad bar because I absolutely love the yellow kabocha squash salad!
It's a small salad bar, but it has everything I like, including fresh fruits (orange, lychee, apples, and these funky passion fruits I have never had before), a yogurt bar (plain yogurt with blueberry sauce, cereal, raisins, and jellies), kiwi dressing, fresh greens, cucumber, garlic bread, carrots, and a variety of mayo-smothered salad (potato, sweet potato, kabocha squash, peanut chicken , imitation crab, fusili pasta, etc.). The new salad bar menu also featured mussels in tomato broth.
While we gorged on the salad, the pasta and the pizza came out. We had the shrimp arabata pasta (spicy tomato sauce) and a bulgogi pizza with cheese crust. I only had a little bit of the pasta because it tasted like it had been precooked before the order. Well, I am sure the pasta itself is incomparable to other delicious pasta I had in the past. The noodle was cooked too much and there needed to be a bit more sauce. It wasn't spicy enough for my liking, despite the name, so we added a bit more chili pepper.
I had a slice of the pizza but had to wipe the greasy before from the cheese. It was too doughy. I usually like the crust, but not this one because of the cheese as well as the dough itself, which tasted very bland. Maybe I have had too many good slices of pizza from NYC to California. Also Korean pizza in general is very sweet as opposed to savory, but the biggest disappointment was still the crust/dough that tasted too bland.
