My friend, Jonathan Hiew, recently opened a new restaurant at Lintas Plaza, Kota Kinabalu. Pepper Jack’s the name. Why this name? I have absolutely no idea. I asked him this question but he replied me with non-sense.. -__-”
Jonathan requested me to do honest food review for his restaurant.
“I am going to write honestly at my blog de ohh.. you sure don’t regret ah? if it taste like shit, I’ll write shit.”
“I have confident on my food. I spent last 5 years perfecting these recipes.” he replied confidently.
“By the way, I never tried shit.. so I don’t know how shit taste like” I added, to avoid confusion 
==========
Pepper Jack’s is still on soft-launch period, which means Jonathan is still improving the food quality based on customer feedbacks and make sure the smoothness operation of the restaurant.
Official launch on October 2010.
Where is Pepper Jack’s?
Lintas Plaza, Kota Kinabalu. Shop is located at ground floor, same row as Pizza Hut and Sarjana Bookstore.
What cuisine does Pepper Jack’s serve?
According to Jonathan, Pepper Jack’s serves fusion food. Western foods with Asian element. Food worth noting includes Tom Yam Pizza, Lamb Stew and Cream Fish Tuna Pizza.
At the time of this writing, Jonathan’s shop is still doing hell lots of offers. He gave me so many coupons I don’t know where to start from -__-
Jonathan gives out some rare coupon occasionally… 50% off from everything, which is damnnnnnnnnnn nice.
Market Fried Fish Fillet—Look at the freaking huge portion!! When the food arrives, my eyes practically looks like O_O The food portion is humongous!
If you were big fan of fish and chips, you definitely have to try this. Fries were awesome too, fried until ngam ngam hou, crunchy crunchy wan.
Fried Chicken Rice with Carbonara Sauce (Cheese Baked)—Another huge serving dish, the fried chicken is so huge that my friend is unable to finish it. Fried chicken, siram with creamy carbonara sauce, then add another layer of mozarella cheese, and bake to perfection.
Shit, my saliva is drooling while I wrote the description. You need to run 30km to burn off all the calories, though.
I wonder what Jonathan is earning from these huge food portion. No need pay rent meh? 
Pepper Mayo Chicken Rice—This is what I ordered, I am a big fan of mayo, so I wanted to try what’s the best he can offer. I doubt I can finish the dish when the food arrives.
“Ui, you deep fried a whole chicken ahh? Why soooooo big wan!?” I asked him
This one is a bit dry though.. maybe no sauce that comes with it. I prefer my mayo in thick and gooey food, but that’s personal preference though.
Cream Fish Tuna—This is the most famous pizza, according to Jonathan. He receives many good feedback from his customers.. and this pizza will hit “big time” soon. I ordered this… and he is absolutely right.
Jonathan created the pizza crust with his own recipe, and added the creamy tuna (lots lots lots of mayonnaise and tuna, so freaking awesome). And again, his is able to bake the mozzarella cheese to perfect colour.
THIS IS A MUST TRYYYYYYYYY.
Grilled Chicken Spaghetti—The grill chicken had once again exceeded my expectation. I thought the chicken will be the typical lousy grill chicken including the chicken skin, but once again, I was wrong. It’s pure meat! And it’s grilled to fully cooked, and yet sealed the juice without losing the tenderness. Add mushroom sauce lagi.. what else can I say?
The carbonara spaghetti is a bit dry, I think is because I took too much time taking the food photo. hahahah. I told him to add more SAUCE to pasta to ensure it won’t be dry when he serves the next customer.
Haiyaya, this Jonathan… if he continue serves his food portion so huge, I really have to worry for him.
Two types of worry – (1) worry he cannot pay rent because all his food portion so big and (2) worry he’ll become millionaire earlier than me.
Jack’s Curry Chicken Rice – I like the presentation of this dish. The huge plate is filled up with food. Even the egg also has no space to “land”, have to land on top of the rice
According to Joseph (the friend that ordered this dish), the curry is really good. Up to standard. He has no complain, and he finished the whole dish.
===========
This is a official review and I didn’t write the food in Jonathan’s favour because he was my friend, the food is good and portion is huge, which is always an advantage in KK food scene.
Customers in KK tends to look for food that has “value”, which is either damn delicious, or portion is huge enough to feed themselves for whole week when disaster strikes.
“Remember, don’t shrink your food portion in future. This is your USP (unique selling point)” I told Jonathan. Of course, the food quality must be maintained too. Don’t become like Upperstar—opened up many branches but the food quality is sharply declining.
Upperstar, you suck.
