Pepper Lunch has been growing up with me for long time. I still remember those days when we enjoyed Pepper Lunch from the food court in Mid Valley and they had expanded to more outlets in Klang Valley. This time, we are happy to know that Pepper Lunch had expanded their wings to our neighborhood mall- KL East Mall. For those who are not aware, Pepper Lunch is a Japanese “fast-steak” restaurant franchise popular in the Tokyo area. And in here, one can enjoy their awesome delights where the wholesome meal is cook using metal plates that are heated up to 260 degrees Celsius.

Inspired by the rich and diverse culinary offerings from China, especially from the regions of Shanghai, Szechuan, Beijing and Lanzhou, Dragon-i Restaurant Sdn Bhd, was established in 2004. Shortly after, the first Dragon-i outlet opened at Mid Valley Megamall, offering signature dishes such as xiao long bao (Shanghainese steamed meat dumplings) and la mian (hand-pulled noodles), traditional dishes proudly preserved by the Chinese over thousand of years. Each delicacy is prepared by highly-skilled chefs from mainland China using top quality ingredients to ensure authenticity in both presentation and taste. The name of the restaurant in Chinese, ‘LONG TI CHUAN REN’, is derived from a combination of phonetics and facts. Historically, the Chinese are referred to as the descendants of the Dragon (LONG), pronounced as the name of the restaurant. However, the strokes for the character ‘LONG’ represent that of the restaurant’s signature delicacy, the xiao ‘long’ bao. This is more than mere coincidence and aptly conveys the significance of serving authentic cuisine from ancient China.

The American Blues, the quintessential element of the American Midwest that tells the historical journey of modern America today. Developed when ex-slave African American migrated to the north during the Great Migration in the early 50s to cities like Chicago, these acoustic cum harmonica-based bluesy-jazz tunes started as street-corner based music. Soon though, the music gained massive popularity and spread across America with the same energy as its advocates. With as much vigor as the music that accompanied them, the workers also introduced their own style of cuisine, spinning their Delta blues whilst venturing into their life's other passion: Food. Or, more specifically, good ol' fashioned barbecued pork ribs, with an extra dose of charming Southern hospitality! And so the essence of Morganfield's began. Morganfield's combines life's two greatest passions: music and great soul food. At the heart of Morganfield's is it signature dish –"Sticky Bones" – a truly authentic, old-fashioned, prime pork ribs slow-cooked and smoked in coal and hickory wood to tender mouthwatering perfection, then basted with the gluey sweet-and-sour- tomato based home-made mopping sauce. A perfect accompaniment with good blues music and great friends! During some nights at Morganfield's, you can sense the original toe-tapping excitement of the roaring 50's, venturing back to times when life was stress free and great music and food reigned, easing the long summer's day.
