Pepper Lunch

We all know hotpot (shabu-shabu) in a chinese restaurant wherein they will give you all the raw ingredients for your hotpot and you will be the one to cook it in a boiling pan of soup. Another is the korean barberque wherein you will be the one to grill your desired meat or seafood infront of you. And of course there is the ala carte wherein the restaurant will serve you your desired dish, cooked. And let us not forget the Japanese way of serving you raw food. All these style of serving, you incorporate in one and you have the PEPPER LUNCH way of cooking and eating your meal.

This restaurant has taken Manila by storm. Not only do they serve mouth-watering dishes, you will also be thrilled on how you will eat and cook your food at the same time. It will be served to you on a sizzling plate and each selection has its own way of cooking. I give this restaurant a two-thumbs up. Truly, the Japanese are very innovative on everything they do.

If you haven't tried Pepper Lunch yet, you are missing out a lot, trust me! There are a few bad sides with this restaurant though, first is its exhaust. The smell will definitely stick on your clothes so it is better to eat there when you are going straight home afterwards unless you want the lingering scent of your food following you and you want to attract attention. And also, you will notice that there is always a queue and it never ends, don't be discouraged, I suggest you patiently queue, your will definitely have your turn. Taste what Pepper Lunch has to offer. Oh! one last precaution, the price is not cheap. =) Bon Appetit!

Pepper Lunch is located at Powerplant Mall in Rockwell, Makati City.

ALDO Shoes

I bought my very first pair of ALDO shoes in Power Plant Mall in Rockwell Center, Makati, Philippines. We are just strolling with some of my officemates waiting for the showeing of X-Files, all of a sudden, I spotted a huge SALE 50% OFF sign on the show window display of ALDO. I really am planning to invest on a good pair of leather shoes for my office wear. I currently have an SM Milano Brand which costs Php 699.75, it is synthetic leather, it droops and it is slightly uncomfortable. That shoes lasted me for almost 8 mos already but I grew some calouses from that pair. I still am going to use that as an alternate to my new Aldo pair to avoid wear and tear. My new pair of leather shoes originally costs Php 4,495.00 after sale it is down to Php 2,195.00 which is a very very good price for a nice geniune leather shoes.

The Forbidden Kingdom

It was only until recently that mom and I got to watch The Forbidden Kingdom in Powerplant. Good thing it is still showing there, as you can see in the ticket, the cinema is being shared by Ironman already. Showing time of 11am, 1pm and 3pm belongs to The Forbidden Kingdom while 3, 5, 7 and 9pm already belongs to Ironman. That is a proof that the movie will be outdated soon in the cinemas. hahahahaha

It is a modified story of "Su Mo Kong", a monkey king, who fought evil to restore peace and order in the land. It is one of the many chinese fables and legend that is very famous. I remembered when I was a kid, dad and mom used to us tell stories about "Su Mo Kong". It has a comic book version, a story book version and it even had a TV series both cartoons and real.

Anyways, the movie itself is a bit dull, well, hmmmmm yah a bit boring. But nonetheless, its worth it because it stars Jet Li and Jackie Chan in one movie. This is the first time after soooooo many years that they made a movie together, how cool is that?? Kung fu with Jet Li and Jackie Chan.... beat that!!! Sad to say that is the only highlight and exciting factor for me so my conclusion is that it's still worth it even though it is dull and boring HAHAHAHAHAHA!
