Creamy Chicken Alfredo from Pizza Hut

It's no secret that my favourite thing from Domino's Pizza is from their pasta menu: Chicken Carbonara. With that in mind, I asked my sisters to order the Creamy Chicken Alfredo from Pizza Hut to compare.

Alfredo sauce tossed with penne pasta, topped with seasoned grilled chicken breast, pizza mozzarella, and oven baked. Includes fresh breadsticks.

It's Saturday evening and we're celebrating our sister's birthday early. For dinner, they decided to order from Pizza Hut and my only request is that they order a large Creamy Chicken Alfredo which came with breadsticks.

It's surprisingly delicious, but I still prefer the pasta from Domino's pizza. It was not as creamy as I expected but the chicken was well-seasoned. The Creamy Chicken Alfredo is definitely a step-up from the dry Bacon Mac N' Cheese two years ago.

Other than the pasta, we had the usual Triple Treat box with modification of adding Mild Buffalo Wings because the birthday girl wants it.

Garlic Bread from Pizza Hut
My youngest sister likes garlic bread, in general. However, we both found this one too salty.

Pepperoni Lover's from Pizza Hut
Extra pepperoni now layered on top for added crispiness

Meat Lover's ®
Pepperoni, Italian sausage, mild sausage, beef topping, ham, bacon crumble, and pizza mozzarella.

Boneless Bites (Crispy, breaded seasoned chicken breast pieces tossed in salt and pepper)
Traditional Wings (Classic chicken wings tossed in mild buffalo sauce)
The Ultimate Hershey's Chipits Cookie (Family sized 8" cookie made with Hershey's Chipits baked and cut into 8 delicious slices)

Pizza Hut delivers Triple Pizza Box

It's our first time visiting my parents this year. For dinner, my youngest sister had Pizza Hut delivered because my mom loves it.

She ordered the Triple Treat Box which arrived in a Triple Pizza "Box" - it's more like a sleeve where you can slide each individual pizza box. It came with two medium pizzas, regular breadsticks, two dips, 8 boneless bites, and an ultimate Hershey's Chipits Cookie.

On the first box, we have the Canadian Pizza. I am reminded why I love and hate Pizza Hut. It's so heavy and oily which makes it so good too. 🤣 The crust is airy and so oily from the firs touch.

Pepperoni, bacon crumbles, sliced mushrooms, and pizza mozzarella

On the second box, we have our mom's favourite: Supreme Lover's®. When we were kids in the Philippines, Pizza Hut locations would sell two slices of regular-size pizza for like PHP 49.00  (around $1.25 CAD). My mom would bring those home as a treat for us. The usual options were Hawaiian, Pepperoni, and Supreme.

On the third box, there are regular breadsticks, two dips, 8 boneless bites, and an ultimate Hershey's Chipits Cookie.

It was an exhausting day but my love tank is so full from spending time with my husband and seeing my parents and siblings. Thank God!

Tim Hortons Strawberry Fill Powdered Sugar Donut

There was a day a couple of months ago when I did an online search and inventory of Tim Hortons donuts in Canada and internationally. My research led me to believe that the Strawberry Fill donut from Tims has been discontinued. My source is this Reddit thread, so I was pleasantly surprised when it was available in the Tims near us for delivery.

It was filled halfway and has a good strawberry flavour. The donut itself is dry, which is typical of Tim's donut.

Chicken Wrap for lunch from Tim Hortons | Day Before Christmas

Happy rainy Saturday, Vancouver! We planned to visit the Vancouver Christmas Market today but with the pouring rain and remaining snow on the ground, staying cozy at home before going to my parent's place seems to be what we need.

I ordered Slow Cooked Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wrap and Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap from Tim Hortons delivery for lunch.

Slow-Cooked Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wrap

The Slow Cooked Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wrap from Tims was not spicy, but a bit tangy; the shredded slow-cooked chicken was surprisingly juicy and soft.

Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap

The Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap was good. The crispy chicken was a bit stale and dry but smothered in sauce, which helped. There are a couple strips of bacon, and the texture reminds me of bacon cooked in a microwave. The lettuce and tomato were the best part of this wrap.

Candy Cane Iced Capp from Tim Hortons

We're back to our average start of winter weather of 7°C and raining cat and dogs in Vancouver. However, since it feels warmer (compared to the past couple of days), I ordered the Candy Cane Iced Capp from Tim Hortons delivery.

I generally dislike Candy Cane and Peppermint flavours, but the flavour from the Candy Cane Iced Capp is not too pronounced. It's a subtle aftertaste which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Candy Cane Iced Capp from Tim Hortons

The Candy Cane Iced Capp is part of the "There's Snowplace like Tims" holiday menu of Tim Hortons. Other seasonal items include:

• Chocolate Fudge Dream Donut
• Chocolate Hazelnut Muffin
• Filled Sugar Cookie
• Gingerbread Chocolate Dream Donut

Craveables from Tim Hortons

Happy Wednesday! Because there are new dream donuts from Tim Hortons, we also decided to order dinner. Perusing the lunch and dinner section of the menu, I realized that we hadn't tried the craveables sandwiches.

Roast Beef Craveables

Both sandwiches are surprisingly delicious, and I am surprised how much I would want to order them again. I don't think I've felt the same way with the other non-breakfast sandwich from Tims. It's such a revelation. I prefer the Roast Beef Craveables. If you're craving thinly sliced meat, this will satisfy your craving.

Crispy Chicken Craveables

On the other hand, my husband preferred the Crispy Chicken Craveables. The sauce in this one is delicious and worked surprisingly well with the Telera Bread they used for both.

Pumpkin Spiced Iced Capp from Tim Hortons

I also ordered my favourite Potato Wedges, and for drinks, we tried the new (or returning for the year) Pumpkin Spiced Iced Capp. The S'mores for the summer are way better. The Pumpkin Spiced Iced Capp is not something I'll order again.

Pumpkin Spiced Iced Capp

The only good thing about the Iced Capp is it was still cold when it arrived. It's perfect for such a humid and hot summer evening.

Creamy Maple Pecan Dream Donut from Tim Hortons

Happy Wednesday! I'm obsessed with Tim Hortons dream donuts, and I check their mobile app once a day to see if there's anything new.

I squealed in glee when I saw the two new Tim Hortons dream donuts, which I presume is for the fall season.

Pumpkin Spice Dream Donut

Pumpkin Spice is now the quintessential flavour of the fall season, so it makes sense that Tim Hortons has released a dream donut with this flavour.

Unfortunately, our order did not arrive with the Pumpkin Spice Dream Donut, and I will create a new post once I get to try it.

Creamy Maple Pecan Dream Donut

I love pecan (or any nuts for that matter), and combining it with maple flavour is a great idea. It's an alright donut. The flavours of Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake Dream Donut and Hershey's S'mores Dream Donut are so much better.

Creamy Maple Pecan Dream Donut from Tim Hortons Dipped in maple fondant, topped with praline pecans, and delicately drizzled with chocolate, each bite has a balance of crunchy texture along with a creamy interior filling.

A peek inside the filling of the Creamy Maple Pecan Dream Donut.

The Creamy Maple is sweet, which is expected of a donut, but that's about it. The pecan provided a crunch, but it just didn't work. My expectations may be unfairly high because I just enjoyed a delicious chocolate pecan pie last weekend.

Chicken Cilantro Lime Loaded Wrap and Chicken Habanero Loaded Wrap for dinner from Tim Hortons

My desire for a cold drink on a hot summer day means ordering a Large Hershey's S'mores Iced Capp from Tim Hortons.

With the drink, I included both the Chicken Cilantro Lime Loaded Wrap and Chicken Habanero Loaded Wrap. Between the two, I love the spiciness of the Chicken Habanero. Though, the Chicken Cilantro Lime is also flavourful. I chose slow-cooked chicken over crispy.

Dinner from Pizza Hut

For dinner, we ordered the Triple Treat Box from Pizza Hut to continue Mama's birthday celebration today. We enjoyed it while watching "Turning Red."

12" Medium Cheese Lover's® Stuffed Crust

12" Medium Super Supreme Lover's® Stuffed Crust

Cinnabon® Mini Rolls Triple Treat, Boneless Bites, and Breadsticks (Regular)

My husband and I felt so bloated afterwards, and our conclusion is that since we're eating less (in general), our stomach is sending us signals that we had too much food today.

Easter Nest Dream Donut from Tim Hortons

The Canada Men's National Team had a game tonight against Costa Rica. Unfortunately, they lost.

We ordered from Tim Hortons potato wedges so we can enjoy it while watching the game. Of course, I ordered any Dream Donut that we haven't tried.

Easter Nest Dream Donut from Tim Hortons
The festive and delicious donut is decorated with colourful sprinkles and a nest of Hershey's Eggies.

Hubby said it seems to be a simple donut with just sprinkles on top and the addition of Hershey's Eggies made it adorable, but nothing special. He's looking for a filling which seems to be consistent in other Dream Donuts.

I also ordered a Strawberry Swirl, but it wasn't available and they sent us a Vanilla Cream Puff Filled Ring instead.

Below is a list of Dream Donuts we have tried so far:

• Dulce de Leche Dream Donut from early 2020
• Chocolate Hazelnut Éclair Dream
• Sea Salted Caramel Dream

Breakfast and Penguin Dream Donut from Tim Hortons

As mentioned in my earlier TimBiebs post, I ordered breakfast today and included the Penguin Dream Donut.

If you have been following my blog (which I don't think anyone is, except maybe my mom - "Hi, Ma!"), you would know that hubby and I would try any available dream donut.

• Dulce de Leche Dream Donut from early 2020
• Chocolate Hazelnut Éclair Dream
• Sea Salted Caramel Dream
• New York Cheesecake Dream Donut
• Strawberry Shortcake Filled Ring
• Vanilla Cream Puff Filled Ring
• Apple Pie Dream Donut

Today, I included the Penguin Dream Donut in my breakfast delivery alongside other Classic donuts because hubby asked if we tried them all, and I said no.

Honey Cruller Donut 💓, Honey Dip Donut, and Apple Fritter Donut 👎

The Penguin Dream Donut looks so adorable. Though, hubby said it doesn't look like a penguin. 🐧

Breakfast delivery from Tim Hortons

Our delivery includes two Farmer's Breakfast Wraps (one sausage and one bacon), two hashbrowns, one coffee, and one hot chocolate.

It's a fantastic Friday!

#TimBiebs delivered from Tim Hortons

Happy Friday! For breakfast today, I had Tim Hortons delivered. It's a special day because today is when I become a Canadian Citizen.

Before my online oathtaking, we enjoyed breakfast and finally got to try the famous TimBiebs. It's a Timbits flavour collaboration between Tims and Justin Beiber.

10 pack of timbiebs

1. Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Timbieb
2. Birthday Cake Waffle Timbieb
3. Chocolate White Fudge Timbieb

Let's get right into it. I enjoyed the Sour Cream Chocolate Chip and Chocolate White Fudge, but I absolutely hate the Birthday Cake Waffle. I want to burn it. I find it too sweet, like it'll rot my teeth just by eating it.

Anyway, if they will keep one flavour permanently, I think the Chocolate White Fudge will be a good candidate.

But my brother is right; they are better than what I thought it'll be, plus it's not bone dry like some of their donuts in the past.

Dinner from KFC | 25% off Black Friday Deal 2021

KFC Canada had a promo of 25% off for Black Friday on all Festive Buckets. So, of course, I won't pass on a good deal and a delicious meal. Plus, the festive bucket is quite adorable.

I also ordered two Popcorn Chicken Bowl meals because I wanted some iced tea. Somehow, the bottled ice tea is not available under the drinks section.

Festive Double Bucket Meal

It's such a food coma, "what is diet" meal. I need to exercise consistently to lose all the calories from dinner. Otherwise, it's so satisfying. ❤

Hopia in Metro Vancouver

Growing up, there are two kinds of hopia - the branded circular one (I'm thinking of Eng Bee Tin) and the half-moon one you can get at your local bakery or from a street vendor.

Hubby and I were discussing hopia and how we haven't had one in a long time. Then, lo and behold, a Filipino entrepreneur based in Richmond posted in the Facebook marketplace that she's selling the hopia we're craving for, and it's even available for delivery!

I sent her a message yesterday asking if she could deliver the following day to our address and how much the delivery fee would be. So after sorting out the logistics, we're all set.

We received one dozen hopiang monggo (mung bean) and a dozen hopiang baboy (pork) before 12:00 NN today. Yay for a reseller who delivers BEFORE the agreed time.

Right: Pork Hopia
Left: Mung Bean Hopia

The Pork Hopia is as I remember growing up - subtle sweetness and thick doughy exterior. I love it! The Mung Bean Hopia was delicious too, but as hubby jokingly said, "Wala kasing alikabok 🤣." Let me provide context for whoever reads this blog from outside the Philippines.

Snacks like these are sometimes sold on the street alongside all the pollution from vehicles. Hubby was pointing out that this is good, but something is missing and what he meant was the "pollution" back home is the flavour enhancer it needs. 🤣

Ready to eat hopia

I can't wait to reheat it in the microwave for a snack and maybe even dinner. Happy Friday!

 If you're in Metro Vancouver and sell Filipino food, please send us a message on Facebook with your menu. We would love to try your products (don't worry, I'm not an influencer and would gladly pay and support your business).

Dinner delivery from Domino's Pizza

Happy Saturday! Every time the Vancouver Whitecaps has a Saturday game, we would almost always visit my parent's place so that we can enjoy the game with our only brother. It's always fun watching with him and recently (last Thanksgiving and today) my younger sister joined us.

Our youngest sister asked that we have Domino's for dinner because my mom kept ordering from Pizza Hut, and she missed Domino's cheesy bread.

We ordered more than enough food for five persons. I also realized that I haven't tried any Feast Pizza, so I'll order one every chance I get.

Domino's Pizza dinner delivery

14" Hand Tossed Chicken Taco
Menu Description: Whole Cheddar, White Processed Cheddar Cheese, Chicken, Green Pepper, Onions, Tomatoes

I enjoyed the Chicken Taco pizza more than I thought I would. If all the Feast Pizza is as good, then I am looking forward to ordering more flavours.

12" Hand Tossed Customized Pizza
Our customization: Whole Garlic Parmesan Sauce, No Pizza Sauce, Cheese Left Extra Pepperoni

My younger sister wanted to customize a pizza. Instead of pizza sauce, she said we should do one with whole garlic parmesan sauce, the normal amount of cheese, and extra pepperoni on one side of the pizza. The portion without the pepperoni was quite good, but the side with pepperoni was just too heavy and salty.

Chicken Carbonara
Menu Description: Alfredo Sauce, Bacon, Chicken, Mushrooms, Onions

My favourite item from the Domino's Pizza menu is the Chicken Carbonara. However, I hate how much I enjoy it and don't even want to share.

8-Piece Boneless Chicken

8-Piece Domino's Pizza Cheesy Bread

I told our youngest sister that Domino's now has other flavours of cheesy bread, but she didn't want to try the new items.

Marbled Cookie Brownie (12pc)

The dessert is requested by hubby. He has a sweet tooth, and these are good brownies.

It's always fun to hang out with my siblings.
