We always love yakiniku-grill it yourself style of eating thus we were surprised (we went in not expecting for any) and delightful to discover an extraordinary yakiniku-sizzle-it-your-way Japanese restaurant located at Edsa Shangri-La lower ground--Pepper Lunch. It was indeed more than ‘pakonswelo’ as I called it after we failed to witness Twilight Saga-Eclipse despite scouting two malls that morning.
Apart from the usual charcoal grilled yakiniku, Pepper Lunch uses a unique electromagnetic cooker patented in Japan. It might sound just a typical sizzling plate though but this cooker heats up to 260 degree Celsius and could keep foods hot for long. What’s interesting with this was, foods were served fresh and raw (as in may dugo pa!) Kudos to the monitor mounted near the restaurant’s entrance showcasing ‘How to’s’ that we found ourselves in queue to order. Here it goes…

Gil had Cut Steak and Burger- P360 which I was actually eyeing. It comes with a variety of veggies and a separate bowl of pepper rice. It was served as this, before…
...and after…
I, on the other hand gave in with the aroma of curry in the air thus I got mine Curry Beef Pepper Rice- P218. Beef was as fresh as this…
...And as juicy as this after few minutes…
We just add P68 each for a side dish of Side Salad and my fave miso soup and two glasses of sodas.
There were available special sauces on each table for additional flavor but we didn’t bother to use them as we found the foods soooper sarap na! The verdict: The steak was tender and flavorful but Gil and I agreed that the burger patty was the winner! It was the most unforgettable dish on his plate, something we will be looking forward to order again the next time! I also enjoyed my curry beef pepper rice…I love the mild kick of spiciness in it as I enjoy the aroma of curry while chewing each tender beef strips.
free wifi, btw
Another side of the story was that, we never knew Pepper Lunch actually and never read anything about it yet, not until I searched for some blogs about it. Then I realized, Pepper Lunch indeed is a hit since its original branch at Powerplant Mall was established, the fame Pepper Lunch truly deserves!
The farewell date turned out not the way we planned it to be, but lunchin’ over at Pepper Lunch saved our day! Gil and I highly recommend this place! :)
...another round of Pepper Lunch with Gil around, what else would be sweeter than that huh? ^_^
