You know what this needs? More cheese.

7 cheeses: Because 6 was not sufficient. Click the picture for a larger image.
 I first saw this food product advertised on the MRT. I was shocked. 7 cheeses? How do they all fit on one pizza? How does the fat fit in one person's arteries? What are those freakish globes strewn across the topography?

I would love to know if this 7-cheese extravaganza is available in the USA, Britain, or wherever is your country? Click the link below left to leave a response in the comments.  I am curious about this because Singaporeans are not wildly enthusiastic about cheese.  I have a hard time getting quality fromage here at a good price. It's not part of the local diet, and it even keeps a low profile on the menus of restaurants with international cuisine.  I'm not sure why Pizza Hut thinks this product will sell.

Pizza Hut Singapore is certified halal. That's the little green logo underneath the Facebook tag. This is the reason that the one time I ate Pizza Hut pizza in Singapore I was very disappointed by the sausage, Canadian bacon, pepperoni, and any other toppings usually made from pork. A 7-cheese pizza would get around that problem, but I still don't think I would like it.

This is very awesome. I haven't seen it advertised here in Notts, but I'll keep an eye out.

I heard somewhere, ages ago, that the maximum number of cheeses per dish that can actually be tasted as sovereign cheese entities is three. Not seven, but three. So that's four cheeses being wasted in Singapore's Pizza Huts.

Given that I live in the artery clogging central of the Heartland, I was surprised to see that we don't, in fact, have a cheesy 7. I honestly believe that I should petition Pizza Hut US to include this on the menu. Why? Survival of the fittest!!

In the wonderful state of Kansas one might expect such a monstrosity to not only exist, but to have been the test bed for such a light cheesy snack served with pork rinds perhaps. I am sad to say, we must resign to cheese stuffed crust pizza, a mashed potato bowl (look it up if you’re not familiar), and a ½ pound cheesy potato burrito from the local Ken-Taco-Hut when an ambulance ride to the ER is desired.

@NinjaDevotchka, excellent fact about sovereign cheese flavors. Now even the classic quattro formaggi seems excessive.

Any idea whether seven cheeses violates a little-know principle of kashrut?

@Carrie. I know about the mashed potato bowls, and they confirm my suspicion that some of my Midwestern brethren find restaurant menus too complex. They would rather simply order a bowl of gravy and a straw. Who cares what sits beneath it. I am not sure if mashed potato bowls are available in Singapore. We have plenty of KFC outlets.
