Before my brother took me to this place, I have no idea what Pepper Lunch is. But he kept mention about this place on and on, so one day, we went there together.

On what they said on their website, "Pepper Lunch is an affordable DIY fast food steakhouse with more than 200 outlets in Japan. Pepper Lunch promises a dynamic and fresh culinary experience for everyone by presenting the novel concept of a sizzling steak. You can enjoy juicy steak with a sizzle at affordable prices." They also have many branches in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, and of course, Thailand.

This is how to order. Similar to every fast food shop, you have to order and pay first at the counter. They have a screen to show you what you order while another part of the screen showing how to cook your meal. After ordering, they will give you a number and you have to find the table which have matching number so that they can serve you the right order.

The kitchen, looking from the order counter.

At the table, they have a seasoning set.

As you may guess, of course one of the seasoning here is pepper. (as they are Pepper Lunch)

Salt

Karakuchi (Garlic Soy Sauce)

Amakuchi (Honey Brown Sauce)

According to their guide, they recommend to use these sauce with the steak menu. However, I find out that Karakuchi also goes along well with the rice.

My brother's Cut Steak&Hamburger served with bean sprouts, chives, and corns (Baht 190 or Baht 229 if you order it together with rice and soft drink).

To enjoy your steak&hamburger, this is what they told you to do:
- Cook your steak both sides on the hot plate.
- Add 'Amakuchi' or 'Karakuchi' for great taste when it is ready.

My Beef Pepper Rice (Baht 120 or Baht 139 if you order it together with soft drink).

To enjoy pepper rice, follow this instruction:
- The secret of great taste comes from butter and sauce in the middle of the plate.
- The more you mix them up, the better taste you get.

After mixing.

Another tip from me, but I am not sure if you will find it good or not. Adding Karakuchi (Garlic Soy Sauce) in this plate make it more tasty, similar to garlic fried rice.

Overall, I find it surprisingly good. Will come back to try other menu :)

Starbucks-Toffee Nut Latte (Christmas Drink 2009)

Toffee Nut Latte
Available at Starbucks as Christmas Seasonal Drink

Before going to work on one morning (4 November 2009), I found this in front of Starbucks.

It said '2 Days until Christmas Arrives in Stores' and the below details is 'welcome back the drink of the celebrated season' with the picture of Toffee Nut Latte and Dark Cherry Mocha.

Then, I went in the shop and found out that even they announced at the door that we had to wait for 2 more days, they already pre-sold the Christmas drink! Lucky me!

Here it is! My first Tall Toffee Nut Latte of 2009!

Front of the cup.

Back of the cup.

I did not love it as coffee, but it is kind of seasonal drink for me, warm..sweet..creamy, and it also brings back good memories and reminds me that winter is coming (although winter in Bangkok is not cold, lol).The first official day of Christmas in the store!

and I got this! Snowflake Tumbler!

Who is hiding here? Mumble? There is a little penguin at the bottom of tumbler! wish they made the snow globe tumbler, but this is already oh-so-cute! (There is another similar tumbler but with white rabbit.)

Show you the cover. It is the twist-to-open style. To get the drink, you have to twist to open it.

Already twist.

Guess what i ordered today? Of course it was Toffee Nut Latte! This tumbler can use for only the short size of hot drink, as it is the 10 oz size tumbler.

In addition, I found this poster. The Live Jazz at Starbucks during December 2009 plus the Christmas Carol Singing.

Live Jazz at Starbucks will be on every Saturday starting from 5 December 2009 at only 5 branches; Baan Silom, Camp Davis, Charmchuree Square, SF Nawamin, and SF Phaholyothin.

For Christmas Carol (with the seasonal drink testing), it will be on 24 and 25 December 2009 at 2.00 p.m.-6.00 p.m. For Christmas Eve, it will be at 1st Floor of Siam Center, Street Level of Siam Paragon, and Siam Pomodoro. For Christmas, it will be at SF Esplanade, Emporium Tower, and 3rd Floor of Central World.

Enjoy!
