seoul food for people who love to eat
Pizza Hutt is gambling a temporary name change can make their customers more aware of another, softer side of their menu. From the Korea Times / 한국일보:
In an unconventional marketing move, Pizza Hut Korea announced in a press conference Monday it will temporarily re-brand three of its Seoul branches as “Pasta Hut” for a month to promote pasta dishes newly added to its menu.
You can check it out for yourself at the “Pasta Hut” website.
Just so long as they don’t decide to re-brand themselves as this kind of Hutt . . .
Bonus: Yoda’s very own recipe for stew. Yummy.

I believe this is a worldwide thing for Pizza Hut; I remember hearing about it for the US and UK as well.

I remember seeing commercials in the States for Pizza Hut entrees before I came here, like Garrett says.
I dunno. I was never a fan. And it’s pretty darn expensive here.

I got some pasta coupons from Pizzahut in the mail the other day. I haven’t tried any of the dishes yet, but I have to admit that they do look tasty

i think that pizza is the closest thing to cheese fries i’ve seen in korea (but i havent been there in a few years so maybe they’ve discovered the joy of yummy melted cheese and french fries)

Kind of off topic but please, please, please help me find a really good place that sells amazing 찐빵 in Seoul. I’ve been searching high and low and can’t find any! I need something to satiate the 찐빵 cravings I’ve had since the magical one I ate when I was in Jeju-do.
