White Pepper - A Black and White Experience!!!

Yet another new restaurant to try and this time it was "White Pepper", Thiruvanmiyur!! This is not a new restaurant but I've never had a chance to go there before.Just then, the management comes up with the idea of a CFG mini showcase and voila, what better time to give this place a go!!

Co-incidentally, most of us dressed in white(owing to the summer and the name of the restaurant ;)) landed at White Pepper.A calm saturday afternoon, drained from the heat and looking for anything refreshing, the first thing we were served was fresh water melon juice with slightly fried and thinly sliced coconut sprinkled over the top.The crunch from the coconut and the juice itself, was very helpful to bring down the heat!! Gobbled it down as soon as it arrived.Next to arrive at our table was the 'Veg Manchow Soup'. Not entirely sure why we had only a veg option but nonetheless, it was not bad.After a round of clicking pictures and finishing up with the soup, we were all set to hit the buffet table.

The buffet  had a line up of items
1. Kadai Chicken
2. Tandoori Chicken
3. Gobi 65
4. Potato Crispy
5. Salad
6. Ghee Rice
7. Fried Rice
8. Squid Pepper Salt
9. Raita
10.Special Noodles
11. Tandoori Roti
12. Naan
13. Paneer Butter Masala
14. Vanilla Ice cream
15 . Treasure Pot - Chinese Curry

The standouts were the Ghee rice,Salad and the Paneer butter masala.The chicken was a tad bit overcooked for my liking in all the chicken dishes.Otherwise, everything else was decent.Apart from the items on the buffet menu, we tried the Toffee Banana and the Fried ice cream.They were both just okay.Nothing to rave about.On the whole, if you're looking for a decently priced lunch without expecting too much out of it, this is a place to be!!However, other than the interiors, nothing seemed Chinese to me.
