We are back at my favorite pizza place! While this is not authentic Italian fare, but rather, an Americanized pizza restaurant with an Orientalized menu, I still find that they serve the best pizzas. Therefore, cravings and a promotion lured me back to California Pizza Kitchen.Ever since my last visit here almost a decade ago, I have been back here several more times over the years, bringing different friends to try some of their signature delicacies.

Ever since my last visit here almost a decade ago, I have been back here several more times over the years, bringing different friends to try some of their signature delicacies. California Pizza Kitchen offers a laid-back yet sleek setting for its diners, with smooth wooden tables and a selection of cushy booth seats or the more regal matching chairs.
We began with the obligatory Peking Duck Pizza. Besides having a fluffy, crispy thin crust charred to perfect deliciousness, one could really taste chunks of roasted duck meat. The taste is heightened, and made colorful by melted mozarella cheese atop, the aroma of shitake mushroom slivers, distinctive flavor of leek, splays of sweet dark brown sauce that complemented the duck's flavor, and best of all, I love the strips of cripsy fried wanton skins.
Next, we had the much-missed Kungpao Spaghetti - a classic pasta with Chinese twist and spicy flavor to it. You can choose to have chicken, shrimps or both - we chose both. Look at the fresh, succulent, huge shrimps that literally bounced in the mouths! This pasta dish consists of red hot dried chilli, scallions, garlic flakes, roasted peanuts, kungpao sauce and of course, the meat of choice. The effect? Spiciness tinged with sweetness ensconced in a savoury dish. Every bite was bursting with flavor!
