Question 1

What is Pepper Lunch?

Accepted Answer

Pepper Lunch is a halal-certified Japanese DIY teppan dining concept from Tokyo (est. 1994). Food is served on a sizzling 260°C iron hotplate — you cook it yourself by mixing and flipping ingredients. 400+ outlets in 15+ countries. MUIS halal since February 2021. Signature dish: Beef Pepper Rice (S$8.90).

Question 2

Is Pepper Lunch halal?

Accepted Answer

Yes! MUIS halal-certified since February 2021 across ALL Pepper Lunch restaurant and Express outlets in Singapore. This makes it one of only two halal Japanese dining options at Suntec City — alongside Sukiya. No pork, no alcohol on the menu.

Question 3

Where is Pepper Lunch at Suntec City?

Accepted Answer

Two outlets: (1) Pepper Lunch Restaurant at B1-010, Suntec City — full restaurant with table seating, daily 11am–10pm. (2) Pepper Lunch Express at #03-367, Kopitiam food court — food court stall format, daily 10am–10pm. Both are MUIS halal. Promenade MRT (CC4/DT15) Exit C is 2–3 minutes walk.

Question 4

How much does Pepper Lunch cost?

Accepted Answer

Beef Pepper Rice from S$8.90. Chicken Pepper Rice from S$7.90. Salmon Pepper Rice S$10.90. Steak combos from S$14.90. Most diners spend S$10–18. Very affordable for Suntec City, especially for halal Japanese food. Before GST.

Question 5

What should I order at Pepper Lunch?

Accepted Answer

Must-try: Beef Pepper Rice (S$8.90) — THE signature. Thinly sliced beef with corn, spring onions, rice on 260°C hotplate. Add honey brown sauce and butter, stir everything. The caramelised crispy rice at the bottom (okoge) is the best part.

Question 6

How does the DIY teppan work?

Accepted Answer

Food arrives on a 260°C iron hotplate. Meat is raw/partially cooked on top, rice underneath. Immediately mix and flip everything — the hotplate cooks as you stir. Add honey brown sauce, butter, pepper. Keep stirring 60–90 seconds. Eat directly from the hot plate. The entire cooking process takes 1–2 minutes. Fun, interactive, and your food is never overcooked.

Question 7

What is the difference between the B1 restaurant and L3 Express?

Accepted Answer

B1-010 (Restaurant): Full table seating, dedicated space, slightly wider menu including steak combos. L3-367 (Express): Food court stall inside Kopitiam, faster service, slightly smaller menu, same core Pepper Rice and Steak options. Same quality, same halal certification at both.

Question 8

What are the opening hours?

Accepted Answer

B1 Restaurant: Daily 11am–10pm. L3 Express (Kopitiam): Daily 10am–10pm. Both open seven days including public holidays.

Question 9

How does Pepper Lunch compare to Sukiya?

Accepted Answer

Both are halal Japanese at Suntec but completely different. Pepper Lunch = DIY sizzling teppan, interactive cooking, S$8–18. Sukiya = gyudon (beef rice bowl), no cooking required, S$4–12. Pepper Lunch is more experiential (you cook). Sukiya is faster and cheaper. Both excellent halal options — try both.

Question 10

Is Pepper Lunch suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with supervision. The hotplate is very hot (260°C) — keep children's hands away from plate edges. The DIY stirring is fun for older kids (8+). Chicken Pepper Rice is mild and kid-friendly.

Question 11

Why is halal Japanese important at Suntec?

Accepted Answer

Suntec City has 10+ Japanese restaurants but only TWO are halal: Pepper Lunch and Sukiya. For Muslim visitors, convention delegates from Muslim-majority countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Middle East), and halal-observant locals, having halal Japanese options at Suntec is essential. Pepper Lunch offers the DIY teppan experience; Sukiya offers gyudon. Together they provide halal-certified variety in an area dominated by non-halal Japanese dining.
