Domino's (*very* fast food)

Classified Chicken with cili flakes. YES.

Last night was pizza night, or in more blunt terms, don't-want-to-cook and don't-want-to-go-out night. It happens. Life's like that. Sometimes you feel like you've done enough for the day and the delivery guy owes you one.

Back in the US when I was a student, Pizza Hut and Papa Johns were the top pizza choices. Domino's was...ermm...not really on the list. Actually, I don't remember ordering Domino's ever. But here in Malaysia Domino's is practically no 1. Why? Because Pizza Hut delivery takes ages to arrive and are so unreliable (as if you don't know the difference between handtoss and pan). And Papa Johns, on the other hand, don't deliver to Bangi. So its not like we have a choice.

The 30 minute delivery time is the best thing about Dominoes. If they're late you get a coupon for a free pizza on your next order. And the next best thing is, surprise(!!), they're always late. Macam 5 minit gitu. So dapatla kupon.

Onion rings. NO --unless they come with the deals. 

We ordered a variety of pizzas, as usual. Classified chicken (with white garlic sauce on it), spicy sambal (hot belacan sauce), aloha chicken (regular italian sauce) and my mom's favourite, banana kaya pie (green sweet coconut sauce). If you're not from M'sia you'd probably be wondering about all the different sauces. Obviously Dominoes has gone through a dramatic evolutionary change to cater to the tastebuds of Malaysia's multicultural community. If it was only the one Italian sauce, Dominoes would soon be out of business because there are only so many Italians here. In fact Maya Karin married the last one standing. For my primary school readers, that's the mermaid from Duyung.

Banana Kaya Pie. YES.

When ordering Dominoes go for thin crust if you're weight concious. The spicy sambal pizza is a great substitute for nasi lemak, tastewise. The banana kaya pie you can get for free if you order regularly, just ask the operator. My personal favourite is veggie fiesta. But thats because I adore garlic. And pineapple. Pop quiz: whats a pizza without pineapple? Cheesy bread. 

Aloha Chicken on thin crust. Its like topped biscuit. YES.

Don't ever order Domino's without a coupon. The 2 for RM30 is probably the best deal and coupled with a free pizza coupon, thats 3 pizzas for RM10 each. Not bad eh. If there's only 2 people in your family, refrigerate the extra pizza in the freezer. It will last for a month, though by the time you eat it may smell like fish. If you don't have a coupon just tell the operator the coupon is downstairs and you can't remember the code. They'll let you get away with it. And last but not least, never reheat your pizza in the microwave. It will become elastic. Heat it in the oven, and it'll be just like it arrived 5 minutes ago.
