The Sizzlin' Pepper Steak

My first visit to Trinoma was to have lunch at The Sizzlin' Pepper Steak. I read somewhere that Pepper Steak is the local version of the more popular Pepper Lunch franchise at Rockwell.


Bright and modern woodsy interiors .... the tables are quite small... I felt like the people at the next table could hear every word we were saying...


Service could be a bit faster. Good thing they had flat teevee screens hanging on the walls where watched watch clips of how to fully cook your food when your order comes. It kept us from getting bored during the wait.
Asuka and Moe in yukata watched and posed... and read. They were excited to get their orders too.




My hubby had the seafood pepper rice... it could use more seafood...


The rest of us had the classic beef pepper rice. When our orders came, it was time to put to practice what we watched on tv.


I cooked mine until my desired doneness was reached. Then I poured more of the the special sauce they had.... and enjoyed my lunch!




It was fun to eat at Pepper steak. Though the food itself wasn't all that spectacular, the novelty was.

Range Murata Pinky

Meet Nazuna, Mayura and Caine. They are the three gorgeous Pinky dolls in the Range Murata series which took me many many months to complete.

The girl's costumes were designed by Renji "Range" Murata , a Japanese artist and designer, known for his unique style combining Art Deco and Japanese anime elements.

Nazuna was the last one I bought. Each one came with two interchangeable costumes and lots of accessories all designed by Range either in gray, black or white.


They can't get any cuter than these girls, can they!

My pinky collection welcomes the RMP series!

Crisis by Robin Cook

I visited Booksale the other day and I found a new book from one of my favorite authors, Robin Cook, and I am so excited to start this. His medical thrillers always keep me on the edge of my seat.






Even Pucchi is excited to start Crisis.

Pizza Hut Bistro

Oh yes, this combo platter is from Pizza Hut.... which now has bistro outlets around the metro..... great ambiance, more interesting food choices and with fast efficient service.... but most of all, the prices on the menu are amazingly affordable!


BBQ Ribs, Tropical Shrimps, Onion Rings, and Steak Fries... my personal favorite?.. it has to be the onion rings...

This pretty dish is the Crab Salad Roll...

Nutritious, healthy and need I say delicious? Crabsticks, cucumber and lettuce wrapped in rice paper served with sesame soy dressing.... I'd gladly this with every visit to the bistro.

And now, their entree...

I had the BBQ ribs... pork ribs glazed in bbq sauce served with rice and a side serving of mixed vegetables. ... pretty good... a bit salty, but good.


We also tried the Shrimps with Rice and Sides (left), mildly sweet and spicy garlic sauce also served with rice and vegetable sidings, and, their Roast Chicken with mango glaze (?)...

Impressive... we were satisfied and happy with our lunch. And we would definitely be back. We have to try their mouth watering desserts next time.

It was a totally new Pizza Hut experience...
