It's no wonder that most people love to see chefs and alike prepare food in front of them. Perhaps it's the amusement and the excitement to taste it afterwards knowing that it was especially made for you. But here in Pepper Lunch they're giving a different kind of experience - they just prepare it and you then do it your way; as they say sizzle it your way.

I first visited PL in Langham Place in Mongkok, the experience was great; so upon hearing that PL will open a site in Tai Koo is more than a happy place to be for afternoon lunch or late dinner. Anyway, let's dig in the sizzlers you could try:

1. Beef Pepper rice - tongue Beef strips smothered in sizzling butter (i know not so good if your watching out those calorie count). But the thinly stripped misonno-styled is indeed hard to resist. Aside from being affordable (compare to other meal choices) - it's basically a staple and a no-brainer choice i guess. As fas as I could count with my visits - meat was consistently juicy and fresh with just the right amount of servings to beefed up your appetite. Is also a good combination with there garlic something sauce.

2. Salmon Pepper rice - Not so much of a beef lover? Then this pick could worth your try. Though i strongly suggest upon receving your hotplate order to settle down and enjoy the flipping back and forth the fish cuts as it may have a tendency to stick to your hot plate - as you wouldn't want it to happen. (We still want to maintain the chunkness of those salmon cuts into perfect pink-orange complexion). But on the other side - this dish may not compliment your palate if your in a more strong deep tastes - as I could remember this dish is not as good as I expect it to be. Fish is little bit dried up - and should I say it's only the pepper i could really taste. But perhaps i just got the last stocks of the day so I wasn't satisfied.

3. Chicken Pepper rice - My friend had tried this set just for us to have the variations. Pretty chunks of chicken, be sure to have enough sauce. And as this is chicken - I trully suggest to cook it thoroughly no red part please.

4. Most of all ask for the Russian Borscht to be included in your set menu. I might say it's one of the best fast-food/lunch set Russian Borscht I've tasted. The sweetness and sourness of the tomato entwined with the basic herbs is so much of a comfort food. But they could use a little dash of starch to make it a little thicker.

Just one note: it's usuall for PL to have long queues as you wait for your order. As it's made only upon your payment. (The waiting is the downside, but knowing it's cooked fresh is an upper.)
Overall, Pepper Lunch is a great deal - and you'll enjoy the doing the sizzling experience.
