Pepper Lunch - Central Park — Restaurant in Jakarta

It's been years since I enjoyed Pepper Lunch due to many others who demanded my culinary attention 😜 Somehow thought of this to celebrate my last work day of 2022 and it was goooddddd.

Went for the signature Pepper Rice and ordered the jumbo size with iced lychee tea and miso soup combo. Everything arrived promptly and the sizzling aroma was almost too much to not dive in immediately. Of course need to mix in the delicious garlic steak sauce and some chili powder to taste. Took me 10 mnts to devour all and then too stuffed to walk out confidently.... Mental note to order the regular portion next time.

If you haven't been to Pepper Lunch before or in a very long time like me, I would recommend making a visit soon for a tasty meal. Lots of credit...

They offer such a diverse range of menu. The most standard one would be Beef Pepper Rice for 64k before tax. Some of my favorites here include Chicken Spaghetti Aglio Olio (61k), or if you eat a lot, go for BBQ Premium Beef & Hamburg set or Cheesy Omelette with Curry Sauce. They’re all excellent.

What I like the most here is the concept of this restaurant, where you cook and pour the sauce yourself. That gives you the flexibility as to the strength of taste or the level of doneness of the meat. You’re your own chef here. Price is a bit expensive, but it’s totally worth it for me....

Dined at Pepper Lunch Central Park and had a great experience. We ordered the Veggie Pepper Rice, Chicken Pepper Rice, and Beef and Salmon Pepper Rice—all dishes tasted amazing. The service was good, though the waiter forgot one side dish, but quickly resolved it. Cleanliness and ambience were perfect, with free drink refills adding to the value. However, a 50% cashback promo for credit card payments wasn’t mentioned by the cashier, which I only noticed afterward.

Overall, delicious food and good value for the...
