lunch @ the pepper


Okay. So my bee and I were at Rockwell more than a month ago before he left for Paris and imagine my surprise when i saw there's a new Pepper Lunch in town! I was so Psyched. It was one of my favorite places when I was in Tokyo, aside from Denny's and Jonathan's (they were the ones with English menu kase!)  My surprise didn't end there because once I saw the prices, I thought to myself, are these in YEN?! I swear those prices are not far from Tokyo's prices. Nevertheless, we ate lunch there and I just ordered chicken because i couldn't afford my favorite steak which is about 600+ bucks...Maybe their meat is from Japan? I mean the serving sizes are just the average. I don't get why it is ridiculously over-priced. The ambiance actually is good and you can't get a seat unless you have ordered. They assign seats for you, which is a plus for me. It's just quite weird because it felt like eating in a fancy restaurant well in fact, in Tokyo it is just a "karenderia" type of place where all the yuppies and students, go to eat. I didn't see any high-end Japanese eating there..So anyway, while waiting for our order, I was waiting for the apron thingies, hehe, because I know right after you leave the restaurant the smell just sticks to your clothes. But they didn't give out any apron. Boo0! And another thing, I wish the chopsticks they use are the wooden kind, I always have trouble using the white long ones, made of i don't know. They are just too heavy for me. Anyhoo, I still enjoyed eating there, just in time, because I was missing Tokyo lately. I was just dreading the time we leave the place. Not because I didn't want to go. It's because I know we would stink the whole day! And true enough, I still smell Pepper Lunch even when we were in the car.
