Comes with a soft drink

Loved that it came with the cheese alr caramelised and the risotto sauce served by the side so you get to enjoy your beef pepper rice+cheese first lol. Tbh the tomato sauce was actually really good, a bright balance of sweet and sour, however when you mix everything in, the parmesan tends to overpower the sweetness of the tomato sauce and you're left this with bitterness. So my advice would be to remove the parmesan since the rice is already cheesy enough without the parmesan. Mix everything fast, otherwise the beef would be overcooked and not tender anymore(made the same mistake over and over). Texture wise it's actually much closer to an actual risotto than I expected since the Japanese short grain rice has a nice chew to it but that being said it's still not the real thing so don't expect too much and you will be happy.

Funny how I always felt pepper lunch was overpriced and avoided it during my student days but had a sudden craving for it and now had it two weekends in a row :p
