Free pizza from Pizza Hut

I like planning for meals before hand. Or it might be a Korean thing. (According to my husband)
From last night I tried hard to think of what to have for lunch today. One thing was clear. We needed to go grocery shopping. But I didn’t want to go shopping early morning for that.

When I got up in the morning, I still hadn’t decided what we were going to have for lunch. I tried hard to think of something, then I decided to have pizza for lunch.

Pizza Hut pizza in Korea is quite expensive compare to other countries. So we don’t eat it very often. However I’ve been collecting some coupons from Pizza Hut since November last year, so I had 12 coupons in my hand. Which means I can order pan or thin medium pizza (for 2 people) for free. -It is not a discount coupon.

This is what the coupon looks like.

You can get this coupon whenever you order home delivery pizza, it is in the right edge of the box lid. So if you didn’t realized about this, don’t forget to cut it out from next time.

It says

- Box coupon-

If you collect this coupon, we will exchange it as follow.

  • 10 coupons – One pan or thin pizza (for 2 people size – medium)
  • 15 coupons – One cheese crust or bistro pizza (for 2 people size – medium) or One pan or thin or potato pizza (for 3-4 people size – large)
  • 20 coupons – One cheese crust pizza or pan or thin pizza (for 4-5 people size – family size) or One rich gold pizza (for 2 people size – medium) or One bistro pizza (for 3-4 people size – large) or One big 4 pizza (large square)
  • 25 coupon – One rich gold pizza (for 4-5 people size – family)

Coupon expire date : valid to xxxx.xx.xx
Order number : Tel) 1588-5588

So we ordered pizza, and it got delivered. (Of course there is no delivery fee.)

One thing you need to remember is, there is no coupon in the free pizza box.
So don’t get your hopes up too high.

We found that we can order any types of pizza even with free coupons, so we ordered the most expensive pizza (for 2 people) “Extrema” – 14,900 won (US $15.70)

This is a picture of the thin Extrema pizza.

However super supreme pizza which we usually get is 13,900 won (US $14.65). Anyway it was really yummy.

This is the “Rice Cooker”

This is my rice cooker. I bought it about 6 months ago.rice cooker
Whenever I travel overseas and still need to cook myself, I really miss having this rice cooker. Because I don’t need to worry about spilling water when rice boils, it never burns or sticks in the pot, and it always gives me perfect textured rice.

It’s a pressure cooker and it seems to make the rice sticker and shinier than just a normal electric rice cooker. It has different menu settings for white rice only, brown or grain mixed rice, and sushi/Kimbap rice. It can also cook sponge cake and steamed stew or meat etc (but I haven’t tried sponge cake with it yet).

It is absolutely my gem among other kitchenware and very convenient to use. The only problem I am having is that it is a bit hard to clean the hole where the steam comes out.

I usually cook a mix of brown and white rice – 1:1 (for 2 people), it takes about 25-30 minutes. However if I cook only white rice (for 2 people) it takes only 15 minutes.

Lastly, if you can’t use up the rice for one meal then just leave it in the rice cooker. Because it can be stored in the rice cooker for days and days. However it is best not to store the rice for more than 24 hours, because it’s not as yummy as it could be and the rice starts to dry out. It also may smell and change color but there is no harm.
