I’m Baked Af, Bruh The foodcourt in the basement of Anchorpoint Shopping Centre is a failure, seeing that the ratio of shuttered stalls to operating stalls is about two to one. However, Pizza Pazza is quite the success, especially considering its sumptuous seafood baked rice ($8.80 nett).⠀

The dish isn’t particularly deep, but it is W I D E. The foundation of rice is amalgamated with an ambrosial mushroom & garlic cream sauce, which turns these grains into something reminiscent of risotto. A seafood salmagundi is cooked competently before getting incorporated into the redolent rice, and the entire pan is blanketed in shredded cheese. The contents of the pan are then broiled till the cheese turns into a caramelised stretchy, gloriously gooey mess, and you’ve got some brilliant baked rice.⠀

Not gonna lie, my expectations were firmly set at zero, but I found myself enthralled by the stellar seafood baked rice. Every component is as it should be, from the mushroom & garlic cream sauce being a perfect balance of salty & creamy, while the passably fresh seafood is cooked perfectly, and the molten cheese was pure perfection.⠀

As Pizza Pazza has proven with this baked rice, getting baked is a lot more fun when you’ve got lots of cheddar to burn.
