ButterNut Review: Halal Thin Crust Pizza In Taman Jurong Hawker Centre

Cue ButterNut , a Western stall in Jurong West that serves more than the usual chicken chops and fish and chips. Food at ButterNut At Butternut, I had to get the obligatory ButterNut Chicken Pizza ($9.90) .

It’s a thin-crusted pizza loaded with chicken, cheese, and butternut squash. Herbs and spices were scattered through the dish, giving it a refreshing taste.

Just like in the Jamie Oliver method videos, a ladle of tomato sauce was spread evenly around a thin sheet of pizza dough. Then, a sprinkle of cheese, chicken and butternut squash were strewn on. I was initially apprehensive about the butternut squash—its texture did not appeal to me.

Even so, having it in the pizza conferred chunks of natural sweetness which broke the monotonous chicken flavours. Out of the oven, it was given a quick torch to add a caramelised sear. Torching the butternut squash brought out its sweetness and softened its fibrous texture.

A caveat for the pizza purists out there: this one might not be for you. It felt like a Hawaiian pizza, with subtle sweet and salty themes coexisting on a single piece of dough. That said, being a hater of the pineapple and ham abomination myself, the juxtaposition of savoury chicken and squash was done somewhat discreetly.

I dug into the Mushroom Truffle Pizza ($11.30) with much anticipation. A slab of fish lay on the Salmon Pomodoro Spaghetti Baked Meal ($11.20) .

That said, while I loved the fish, I felt that it’s taste did not meld with the tartness of the pasta, Since this baked meal is customisable, I would advise you to pick some other protein such as smoked duck. Pasta should be finished in the pan with its sauce so that everything emulsifies together. Ambience at ButterNut ButterNut is holed in the three-storey high Taman Jurong Market and Food Centre .
