Fourth Time's a Charm : The Pepper Lunch Story

-
While I love trying out new restaurants on a regular basis, I also seek comfort in places where I know I can always get good food and wonderful service. Such is the case for Pepper Lunch. It can be seen how much I love the place from the numerous times that I've blogged about it here, here and here.

It's funny because no matter how often I visit, it always takes a while for me to decide on my order simply because everything looks so good. I always have a hard time deciding whether I should order something new or get any one of those that I love.

Over lunch today, I tried a combination of something that I have already tried before and something new. No, I didn't order a feast for myself but instead got the Unagi & Salmon Set (Php. 538). I'm not really sure if this is available for a limited time only, nonetheless I'm glad I was finally able to try it.

Served on the same sizzling plate, I was also given a saucer filled with sweet Unagi sauce which I generously poured over my salmon, unagi and rice. I savored the deliciously smell as I turned and cook my fish. The salmon was very tender and juicy, simply just the way I like it. Whereas the Unagi is very fresh and unlike other restaurants, Pepper Lunch's unagi has very fine to non-existent bones which is good because it can be a hassle to eat this sweet tasting fish if you always have to watch out for the sharp thin fish bones.

What I've also noticed is that their plates do not come with the white paper band anymore. This is supposed to protect you from unwanted stains or spills coming from your plate. Hmmm..cost-cutting perhaps?

Though, it was rather an expensive meal, I enjoyed every single bite of it. Also, I'm thankful that the management already has a box of fabric deodorizer which was really helpful considering that I have a presentation to attend right after lunch.

I love love love Love You Pepper Lunch!

    Thank you for eating with us again!
    It is great to have returning customers and nice to see you blogging about PL.

    We were out of paper sleeves because we didn't order new ones in time, sorry about that but they should have been available yesterday but i know learned they will arrive monday latest :-(

    The good part is, it will not effect the taste!

    Our unagi is directly imported from Japan unlike most restaurants in Manila who get theirs from taiwan. This makes all the different in taste and texture :-)

    happy sizzling!

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic
