Finally, back to a Malaysian food post this time. Another interesting note this time is that you will need to further cook your food at this restaurant in order to enjoy the best taste which suites your liking.
Desmond-t brings to you The Pepper Lunch Restaurant at The Pavilion, KL. Strategically located directly opposite J.Co Donuts which is very close to the Food Republic giant food court, I was lucky enough to be the first few customers of this brand NEW restaurant.
It was its grand opening on December 19th, 2008. They have this special casual steakhouse concept, all the way from none other than…Japan. As of now, Pepper Lunch has already open branches over 8 countries in Asia.
Many well-wishers flocked the restaurant with humongous congratulation bouquets all over the restaurant’s perimeter. At first sight, many would have thought it is a new florist shop rather than a restaurant! Kidding…
One positive point for this restaurant is that they have a huge menu with food illustration right upon the walkway towards its entrance. So, you don’t have to decide your meal after you have taken your seat. Instead, you may even decide whether is it the right place for you to dine, just to avoid any disappointment… be it on the food expectation or avoid ordering overpriced food.
For me, being at The Pavilion, I certainly expected an elevated pricing list for anything that is sold there. So forth is for this restaurant, the price is a little bit above average, I would say. But at least, I feel worth my money and time spent there simply because I kinda fancy the food as well as their concept.
Very comprehensive menu isn’t it? Even complete with set meals, desserts and even take away menu!

As you make your order and pay for your meal, you have the chance to learn from the repeating cooking steps as shown on the LCD TV. This is because, the food they serve to you requires some final “touch up” by yourself just to make sure that you add the additives suiting to your taste.
For example, my selection is this Hamburger Steak with Fried Egg, RM21.80. The step-by-step cooking guide is pretty helpful as they instruct with simple English subtitling. Spread the butter evenly around the hamburger, turn the hamburger and wait for a couple of minutes.
Then, pour the sauce of your choice, either the Garlic Soy Sauce or the Honey Brown Sauce and mix it again. After that, it’s Bon Appetite!
Dear’s choice was this Combo Cut Steak & Chicken, RM23.80. I shall highlight that the beef for the steak and hamburger are imported from the land Down Under and quality is definitely guaranteed. I rate the steak and hamburger highly as they are fresh and most of all… SEDAP!
Overall, quite a satisfying meal but again, due to budget constraint, I’ll opt for a cheaper food (if there is any) in The Pavilion, KL.
p/s: The parking for 3.5 hours there is freaking RM12 and I am so not going to Pavilion again… damn right, it is a hangout for the rich and feh-mes, not for poor student like me!

twosuperheroes: Wow, the heroes are here! I’m flattered… Yes, Sg got a lot of branches of Pepper Lunch!
deb: Very pricy leh hehehe… save more money then I shall go eat again!
i will try next time in kl
The concept is quite new but I doubt the lazy people like me will favorite this type of DIY concept, but will give him a try one day!
u r right, all the parking fee in bintang area is $#@#% expensive, i think the price is crazy…actually Pavillion is dead! I don’t know how long they can sustained?
Have a nice day, bro.

Very interesting concept! I think I don’t mind giving it a try, but have a feeling that after some time, I will become lazy and prefer the food ready to be eaten and no DIY : )
Yes, have to agree the parking in Pavilion burns a big hole in the pocket - maybe you can try parking at Westin Hotel and walk over? If I’m not wrong, Westin charges a flat rate, unless I’m wrong… : )
