Everyone might be familiar with Sizzling Pepper Steak but
not everyone might be familiar with the franchise it copied from – Pepper Lunch.
Pepper Lunch is a Japanese original
that has been around the Philippines for 5 years. It recently opened a new branch inside Eastwood Mall.
Pepper Lunch is famous for serving their meals on a hot plate/ pan. The customer then has to (finish) cooking the meal on the hot plate. It’s a novel idea that might not be for everyone. I, for example, tend to overcook one side and undercook the other. And since I paid good money for my food, I would want it cooked perfectly upon serving. Despite that, Kim and I still frequent Sizzling Pepper Steak because we like the food. So when Pepper Lunch opened a branch in Eastwood, we naturally had to give “the original” a try.
Pepper Lunch has a unique ordering system. You pick from
their visual menu, line up and order. What’s unique with that, you ask? Well,
you only get assigned a table after ordering. So don’t bother looking for an
empty table to save before ordering.
Kim ordered the Teriyaki Beef Pepper Rice with Egg.

Kim likes that the teriyaki sauce came separately with the
dish, so she had the chance to cook the beef to her liking. She liked that the
beef was tender and seasoned well, and that the egg proved to be a nice
complement to it.
I had the Beef Pepper Rice.

First off, I had my Beef Pepper Rice as a meal, which came
with a drink and mashed potato (you can choose also either the miso soup or ice cream. And I also had it upsized. My first impression
when it was served was visually it looked really small as compared to Sizzling
Pepper Steak’s serving. But it was very flavorful!
We also noticed that the beef didn’t burn that easily inside
the pan as compared to Sizzling Pepper Steak. But since it was our first time
there, we can’t definitively say that it was due to the pan or just sheer luck
on our side.
Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Pepper Lunch. It’s not as
expensive as we thought it would be compared to Sizzling Pepper Steak. We’ll
surely come back and try their other meals.
