After having savory meal after savory meal of dim sum and cha chaan tengs, you might develop a craving for some good ol' greasy, cheese-ilicious Western food. What better cheesy favorite is there than the delicious potato skins!

Potato Skins

Let me tell you, these tasted just as good as they look! My friend said there wasn't enough guacamole, and I've just noticed from the picture that it's missing bacon. But it was really good on its own merit that I didn't even notice it seems.

Pepperoni's Pizza Cafe had some pretty interesting fusion pizza choices to dazzle the eye. Of them, we had two of Chinese persuasion and Indian persuasion.

Tandoori Chicken Pizza

This Tandoori Chicken Pizza certainly looks quite enticing!

Peking Duck Pizza

And this Peking Duck Pizza looks, special! Aside from the novelty of these flavors, these pizzas were just good. Not orgasmically amazing or anything. Just good. In fact, the novelty seemed to be mostly just the concepts. The tandoori pizza didn't have an adequately strong tandoori taste (not enough kick), and neither did the Peking duck pizza have an adequately strong Peking duck flavor. But then again, if I want these authentic flavors I suppose I shouldn't expect them from a pizza. Nonetheless, to give credit to these innovations, it was a tasty first to have the spicy zing of tandoori and the sweet duck baked with cheese on a pie.

The Tempura Chicken Fillets were a disappointment. They tasted like your plain chicken strips fried with plain batter making for a very plain taste. Although I admit, that the salad setup is not only aesthetically pleasant, but a good somewhat-healthier item balancing against the plethora of fried (but oh so delicious) foods here. They seem to give this salad setup with many items (except the pizzas).

Also recommended:
- quesadillas (they have veggie and chicken) [甚麼是quesadillas?]
- the salads are very large portions

Generally Pepperoni's is a very nice restaurant situated in the buzzingly metropolitan area known as SoHo (south of Hollywood Road), where you can peruse the diverse array of restaurants including Thai, Nepalese, Italian, French, Chinese, and even Mexican. So do check this area out, although be prepared to pay more. As part of the general Westernized atmosphere of this district you can also expect to pay typical Western prices.
