While the iron plate sizzles, the aroma of meat fills the air, offering customers a rich interactive experience along with visual and olfactory enjoyment. This Japanese self-service D.I.Y iron plate rice Pepper Lunch is perfect for families with kids after shopping at Metroplaza or playing at the Adventure Park! Upon entering, staff politely provide menus. Orders can be placed by scanning the QR code on the table or at the cashier. After a full day at the mall, you can leisurely browse the menu at your seat and order via the member app by scanning the table QR code. When the food is ready, staff will bring it over. Each main dish is served with raw or half-cooked ingredients directly on a heated iron plate, which continues to cook the food. This is the "D-I-Y" moment where you control the cooking time and heat, deciding whether the beef is well-done or medium, and how to mix the rice and seasonings. Various sauces are available on the table for you to choose or adjust. Depending on the set, most meals are under HK$100, offering great value! 🍛 Jumbo Black Pepper Beef & Chicken Rice 【4.5/5.0 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ 】: Perfect for those who have trouble choosing, with a generous portion. The sizzle of the iron plate already smells delicious. The thinly sliced beef is tender, the chicken is fragrant and not dry, and the black pepper sauce is truly the soul✨! You can let the beef, chicken, and rice sit for a while before stirring. First, sear the beef and chicken for a few seconds to bring out the aroma. The meat is tender with a charred fragrance. When the beef and chicken release their juices, you can swap the rice and meat positions so the rice crisps up and absorbs the meat juices fully. Finally, stir or eat separately according to your preference. A bite of meat and a bite of rice is super satisfying! For snacks and drinks, I personally like: 🥦 Sesame Sauce Broccoli Salad 【4.0/5.0 🌟🌟🌟🌟 】: The broccoli is cold enough, and the sesame sauce is served separately to add as needed 🍨 Ice Cream Cup (Coconut Flavor) 【4.0/5.0 🌟🌟🌟🌟 】: No longer Haagen-Dazs, now A1 brand. The coconut flavor is like sherbet with coconut meat, delicious to eat together. Will order again next time 🥤 My top drink recommendation is canned CC Lemon, no explanation needed🍋💛 The environment is a relaxed and comfortable mall restaurant, quite suitable for family or friends gatherings. The staff are very polite! 🗺️ How to Get There 🚇 Exit E of MTR Kwai Fong Station, walk about 3 minutes via the footbridge to Metroplaza, then go down one floor Food
