Call me a late bloomer, but it really took me quite a while before I could try out Pepper Lunch. Heard a lot of friends and bloggers raving about the resto, so the name definitely went to my list of restos to visit. And I finally got the chance to have a taste of what it has to offer a few weeks ago (yes, this is rather a late post. My Apologies) when I went to the Shangri-La mall branch.

Chicken Pepper rice (P235 with drinks and rice, plus P48 if you want more chicken strips)
I got chicken pepper rice, because, obviously I like chicken more than beef hehe. And, really, the smell of garlic, butter, pepper, and the teriyaki sauce is enough to make my mouth water. But again, I’ve got to hold back myself because I still have to cook this meal! Yup, that’s the novelty of it: sizzle it your way. The meal comes with a hot plate and you can overcook or mildly cook the meat, whichever you want.
What I did was to brown the chicken meat in the butter and then, mix it in with the rice and the corn, throwing in a lot of teriyaki and sizzling steak sauce. And more pepper!

I remember that my dad got “turned off” because of the cooking part; he certainly is a person who wants to be pacified right away. But all the waiting paid off, he said afterwards. The teriyaki pepper chicken tasted great!
Another thing I like about Pepper lunch is that it provides free wifi and lots of power outlets for its clients!

Yay for those who always like to be connected to the Internet with their lappies and handhelds! The password is actually just “pepperlunch”. I just don’t know if it’s the same password in the other branches.
So, definitely I’d give this Pepper Lunch dish and Pepper Lunch a rating of:

And definitely, definitely I’m goin’ to come back to try the other dishes!
