So there I was.. Staring at my computer screen, wondering what I could do for the blog's next giveaweay.. I was running out of ideas (Rina wasn't impressed with my Gardenia Loaf of bread Giveaway idea) and out of nowhere, I got an email that made me totally LOSE MY MIND.
A man by the name of Mr. Jeroen Van Straten, came across my blog and saw I was hosting a giveaway and asked if I was interested in collaborating with the restaurant chain that he runs here in the Philippines..
So on that note, The Pickiest Eater In The World is proud to announce Anniversary Giveaway #3, courtesy from Rina's favorite restaurant.. I think you may have heard of it...
PEPPER LUNCH!!!!!!!!
Ever since Baby Rain's Yaya eloped with one of her guys, Rina has been very reluctant to leave baby Rain at home. The morning I was supposed to meet Mr. Van Straten, I asked Rina if she wanted to join me in my meeting. As expected, she said no, so I said, "Too bad..", which got her curiousity. She asked who I was meeting, so I told her... "The owner of
"I'm going.", she said bluntly.
I replied, "But what about Baby-.."
"I'm going.", she snapped back.
Fan Girl Rina got to meet her "idol" and got some Pepper money of her own!
Ever since our blog started, she has always left the choosing of the restaurant we visit to me. However, she gets Pepper Lunch cravings every now and then, and when she does, It won't matter what I suggest. Pepper Lunch is perhaps, her favorite restaurant.
So an opportunity to meet the source of her sizzling addiction was too good to pass up.
If you've seen my first Pepper Lunch entry, you'll know that its clear that we've been to Pepper Lunch a lot. Even then, we couldn't resist trying some of the newer items of their menu..
Rina FINALLY consented to trying something new for a change, and instantly fell in love with the Beef Yakiniku. Beautiful thinly sliced cuts of beef, sprinkled with sesame seeds and spring onions, and bathed in a shallow pool of Japanese Yakiniku sauce.
Rina's new favorite dish! (Apart from everything else in the menu)
I tried the Jumbo Garlic Pepper Beef for the first time (they had me at "Jumbo"), which was a bit similar to the Pepper Beef Rice, except with an extra helping of toasted garlic on the rice, and finely minced garlic bits on the raw beef. The beauty of this dish is when your meat is being cooked on the sizzling plate, the garlic infuses it with more flavor, adding a lot more punch to the dish. I added a side order of egg for a light touch of creaminess.
