This review was first published<\/a> in Bangalore Mirror, and though the title I had given was ‘Zzing is King’, someone obviously loves playing with articles, so it was edited to ‘Zzing is the King’ :|. Anyway, this is a revised version.<\/p>\n

So, Peppa Zzing opened shop on October 4th<\/sup>, and is run by popular MC Mark Rego and his wife Rini. It owes its name to their daughter who thought \u2018zing\u2019 best denoted the food, happiness and colours of the outlet. The \u2018Peppa\u2019 just adds to the spice. And thus food soldiers on Infantry Road now have a new place to focus their attack on. Parking shouldn’t be difficult. There’s all of Infantry Road and even the Safina Plaza area. Walk a bit, trust me, it’ll help.<\/p>\n

Pleazing, that\u2019s how the ambiance can be described. Peppa Zzing has a typical fast food place feel to it, with functional furniture, and a prominently displayed menu. But the bright red hues and the pictures add a zing to what otherwise might have been a predictable setting.<\/p>\n

Guests for the evening were Umesh<\/a> and Ranjani<\/a>. Many thanks to Umesh for not chickening out despite a minor accident on the way. The third person I’d invited called me just as I entered the place to give me a flimsy excuse after confirming just half an hour back. I’m just barely resisting the urge to link his twitter account here. Thankfully, good friend (of mine and all things edible) Gautam John<\/a> was around to beef up the efforts.<\/p>\n

The menu is not really big, but after my encounter with the Whammy, that\u2019s not something I\u2019d accuse the burgers of. They also have plans to add some steaks soon. Gautam, Umesh and I focused on the meatier portions of the menu, even as Ranjani volunteered to test the greener side.<\/p>\n

The menu has burgers for three player levels \u2013 the regular Burger for the beginner, the Monster Burger for the advanced and the Whammy is quite obviously a multi-player option, except for those six brave people (including a woman) who have managed to finish it so far. If you can get there by 1 pm today, you can perhaps be part of the Whammy challenge and win a trip to Goa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>We started with a Bar-be-cued Chicken wings, which suffered thanks to a domineering sauce, and the Cheesed Fries were a bit too hard for our liking. But the Potato Wedges were done well, though tending towards bland. The lamb and beef burgers were fantastic. The patty was crisp on the outside, tender on the inside and the toppings we tried \u2013 mushroom, fried egg and cheese complemented it well. The Whammy Burger is a planet in itself and I just managed to explore half of it.\u00a0 The Pasta with Tomato sauce also did not disappoint. A few more dessert options would help, as the Hot chocolate fudge we tried was only average.<\/p>\n

The service was quick, helpful and there were hardly any delays. Though the place was definitely value-for-money, they don\u2019t mean plastic money, but we were told that they\u2019d start accepting credit cards in a couple of days. If you have any sort of inclination for fast food, this is definitely the place to drop in. You need solid guts to vanquish the Whammy burger, and from experience, it\u2019s a battle you need to win in your mind first!<\/p>\n
