Cheesy Teppan Risotto at Pepper Lunch

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this particular ad on my Facebook wall.

So later that day, I found myself lining up at Pepper Lunch having second (third, fourth and so on) thoughts which one between the Chicken & Prawn or Salmon & Prawn I liked more.

What we ordered

Salmon & Prawn - Php287.00

After finishing a cup of their Spicy Tuna Shake Shake Salad (Php99.00), I moved on to the main reason why I chose to have dinner at Pepper Lunch in the first place. And why not, the photo of the mozzarella stretching from the hot plate left me salivating for a good few minutes! The sauce was on a separate container so you can limit just how creamy you want it to be -- I like my food swimming in cream/sauce by the way. For an introductory price of Php287.00, I think it's a steal with loads of Salmon which I love the most.

Shimofuri Pepper Steak - Php598.00

DB's Shimofuri Pepper Steak was quite disappointing as we were served with what seemed like a frozen steak straight to the pan that really tasted bad. Hope they can do something about thawing or storing the steak properly so we can get a great deal with the price we have to pay for it.

There was a time that I became obsessed with Pepper Lunch's Beef Pepper Rice that we had to line up in their Rockwell branch for a time or two. Now that they added the Cheesy Teppan Risotto on the menu and my love affair with their Spicy Tuna Shake Shake Salad was rekindled, I think we'll be seeing each other more often again.

Is dinner tomorrow night okay with you?

Pepper Lunch at MOA

Not so long time ago, we had to go all the way to Rockwell for our Pepper Lunch fix. I remember falling in line every time we go there (even on weekdays!) and wished that they open a branch in the South someday.

Well, I am glad to share that that someday is finally here!

We were supposed to have dinner at Tanabe last Friday, but only had 30 minutes before the showing of Contagion (powerhouse cast movie which that alone is enough reason to watch it) so we need a fast serving restaurant. I've been seeing the "soon to open" sign of Pepper Lunch for quite sometime now and I was very happy that it was open just when we need it!

I love that they tell you which table to occupy upon ordering

Here's what we ordered

Important: Since the plates are very hot, you should mix it up immediately.

Beef Pepper Rice -- I love it with lots of honey brown sauce!

Sliced Angus Beef -- DB initially ordered Double Salmon Steak but upon
seeing that they now carry Angus Beef, he simply cannot resist it.

We also ordered the Seaweed Salad which was a steal for Php99 -- yummy dressing with lots of seaweeds in it. Too bad DB got it first even before I can take a photo of it.

After 10 minutes, the meal is still hot!

I am really happy that my favorite comfort food is now close to home. I bet DB is even more delighted that he does not have to drive all the way to Makati whenever I'm craving for beef pepper rice.

Did I already mentioned that Pepper Lunch had just opened a branch in MOA?
