Pepper Lunch & laughter for dinner!



I’ve always wanted to try Pepper Lunch and I’ve been planning on eating at that sizzling place since last year but things happened thus it’s been postponed. THAT’S why when the opportunity offered itself, I grabbed it with both hands! The opportunity presented itself in the form of meeting with college friends.
 
I haven’t seen these buddies for awhile especially Che (girl in yellow shirt). Good food plus good company resulted in a night full of laughter, remember-when’s and random talk. We felt like college students again, laughing uncontrollably.
So we chose what to eat among an array of delicious sizzling meals that colored the menu. They are really expensive but I was determined to tick Pepper Lunch off my mental checklist of to-visit restos.  So there I chose Beef Pepper Rice as my first meal to try at Pepper Lunch! Yuuuumm! When I first looked at it, I thought, “This is too much!” I’ve never been so wrong in my life! I finished the whole lot without noticing it! Hahahaha. Delish!
Darlene chose Teriyaki Beef Pepper Rice with Egg. We laughed when she said she wants the meals with egg so we joked about transferring to Taps instead if that’s her goal. She also finished her lot.
Che, on the other hand, chose Teriyaki Pepper Chicken. She was a bit awkward in eating the meal because she had difficult mixing the Japanese Classics meal so we also enjoyed looking at her poking through her food. She even mistook cabbage as pechay. She religiously avoided the cabbage and meticulously picked the corn kennels and ate them leaving the cabbage and bean pods alone.
Too bad CJ didn’t eat any meal because he kept saying he was full from eating at the office before we took off for Pepper Lunch. He just had mashed potato which made me stare at him in disbelief. I couldn’t believe he’s not hungry after knowing his appetite is 10x mine!

Anyway, I was very satisfied with their meals and I plan on going back again on another special occasion. Their expensive meal is not something I can afford on an occasional basis so another special occasion would be reason enough to splurge a bit on Pepper Lunch. A much recommended restaurant!

Of sealed lips & unspoken words

Lingering thoughts
Fragmented words
Left unspoken
Tied up with cords

Yearning to be free
Towards your heart
Towards thee

Should I ask him?
Said she
Should I go to her?
Queried he

Neither got their fill
For their lips remained sealed
