Found a shop selling both parsnips and root parsley. I don't feel so silly now because they're nearly identical.

Currently stopping over in Singapore where (as seen on a TV ad) Pizza Hut is celebrating the forthcoming National Day with special durian and laksa pizzas.

Cheesy 7 Durian - Pan

The King of Fruits gets the Cheesy 7 treatment. Seven creamy cheeses baked with rich, creamy durian for a pizza that's unapologetically bold. It’s sweet, savoury, and packed with flavour.

Cheesy 7 Otah Laksa

Bold local flavours meet irresistible cheese pulls. Pizza Hut's signature blend of seven cheeses is layered with spicy chicken, fragrant otah paste, rich laksa sauce, red onions and a sprinkle of parsley.
