Peproni Pizzeria (Zion Road)

Celebrated JX's birthday yesterday at Peperoni Pizzeria with a group of my friends. We met up earlier without JX knowing and bought him 2 slices of cake.

Since it's a pizzeria, it's obvious that you should order pizza and so we did! We ordered the 21'' XXL pizza ($50). Super huge with generous amount of toppings! Bigger than a human face. We chose half Quattro Formaggi (which consist of mozarella, taleggio, scamoza and gorgonzola cheese) and half Proscuitto Crudo di Parma(which is parma ham and rocket salad).

I like the pizza with the parma ham and rocket more than the four cheese. The parma ham pizza with rocket was well balanced. The slightly bitter(?) rocket salad complimented the savory parma ham and cheese well. For the quattro formaggi, you really could taste all the different type of cheese. One that I did taste was the blue cheese which gave a little mint taste from what I tasted. However the quattro formaggi is way too cheesy for my liking but JX love it a lot(cause he loves cheese). The crust of the pizza was also nice- crispy. Every one of us love how big the pizza was.(Finally something that did not leave the table as soon as it arrived since we all are so kiasu, always trying to get as much food as possible)

We ordered the Calamari Fritti ($14)- deep fried squid rings with lemon, mayo and arrabbiata sauce.The seasoning of the calamari was good and it tasted nice with the sauces given. The mayo added creaminess while the arrabbiata added a slight acidity to the calamari.

Deep Fried Chicken Wings ($8). The best chicken wings I have ever tasted! The seasoning it just perfect and it's also crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Definitely a must try!

The Funghi Portobello con Pollo ($20)- deep fried whole portobello with sauteed chicken fillets in red wine sauce. A match made in heaven. Earthy mushroom with slices of tender chicken on a bed of rockets, topped with a delicious sauce. The combination of everything together is genius! Even though it seems pricey, it's worth it. Especially for a mushroom lover like me.

Funghi e Pollo ($23)- sauteed button mushroom & chicken fillets in brown sauce. There are 5 different pasta to choose from- Spaghetti, Tagliatelle, Linguine, Penne, Fusilli, Capellini. Mine was spaghetti. Just like the portobello mushroom, this pasta was delicious. Flavors was similar to the deep fried portobello mushroom but the pasta did not gave me as much satisfaction as the fried mushroom above.

At the end of our meal, we brought out the cake and sang JX a birthday song. The Rainbow Cake surprisingly was really nice. It was moist and frosting was not too sweet.

The Oreo Cheesecake was also good. The cheesecake and base were of good proportion. The cake was cheesy but not overpowering. A good buy from the icing room. Both slices cost a total of $8.80.

Such a great feeling to hang out with my secondary school friends again. (:
