About twelve years ago, when Pepper Lunch first opened in Makati, Philippines, I absolutely fell in love with it. I was thrilled to see it in Vancouver, but unfortunately, they have since closed their only location in the city.
For lunch today, I went with my favorite Australian-born and raised colleague and one of our developers. I managed to ask my work-related questions while also taking the opportunity to get to know them better. We dined at Pepper Lunch.
I ordered my usual Curry Chicken Pepper Rice. It has a subtle heat that I enjoy, and I love the crunchy bits of rice that are stuck to the sizzling hot plate. The dish offers a satisfying blend of curry and juicy chicken.

As we took the tram back to the office, we discussed which snacks I should try, such as lamington, Anzac biscuits, and Vegemite. A friendly stranger on the tram even chimed in with his recommendations. I felt so at home in this vibrant city.
