NY Steak Shack @ Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall

Growing up as a movie buff, I'm always fascinated by those American-style diners, especially the energetic vibes in the diners and those stacks of pancakes with bacon.This also kind of set the way I see how a diner or any eateries should be - warm, friendly and generous in their food portion. As someone who loves to travel, I've always wanted to travel around America and experience the "diner experience" myself, but sadly my travelling fund is still work in progress.

However... I've recently found a place that gave me a peak into this classic American heritage!

Home to hundreds of different cultures, New York City is a cultural melting pot knows for its variety of ethnic cuisines, great restaurants, and the ability to find any kind of food at any hour of the day. Inspired by New York City, NY Steak Shack want to satisfy your cravings for just about anything you have in mind, ranging from steaks to burgers and shakes, and pasta made to order.

The restaurant has a retro vibe with theme colours of red and black. The somewhat rustic atmosphere would definitely give you a taste of the American heritage.

NY Steak Shack totally understands the joy of bonding over food, and with the festive season just around the corner, they have prepared some special dishes to cater to everyone's appetites. Like the phrase "Shared Joy is Double Joy", the NY-city inspired fast casual restaurant is introducing not one but FOUR amazing platters in its latest All New Sharing Platters menu - seafood, beef, poultry and lamb.

Seafood Platter (RM 89.90). The Seafood Platter comes with an authentic bend of fried calamari along with garlic shrimp on the side, combining with a sizzling plate of Emerald Fish. The calamari was crunchy but if you ask me, I'd say the soft and flaky fish was the star of the platter.

Lamb Platter (RM 99.90). Featuring a combination of lamb sausages along with lamb stew and sizzling lamb noisette on the side. The sausages were well-seasoned and juicy; while the stew was rich and hearty, although I would wish for flavours of the lamb to be more pronounced. On the other hand, the Lamb Noisette was perfect! Crispy crust around the edges, juicy and tender on the inside, this is one of my favourite dishes from the platters.

Poultry Platter (RM 89.90). Consists of Rosemary chicken and chicken cevapi toghether with a sizzling duck chop. The chicken wasn't too bad but nothing to shout about. The duck chop was perfectly seasoned and very tender and juicy.

Beef Platter (RM 99.90). For those who love red meat, you can indulge yourself in the Beef Platter which consists of a beef tenderloin skewer cooked to perfection along with beef meatballs on the side.

All of the sharing platters are complemented with pumpkin rice, fries and mixed vegetables. As for the sizzling entree, you can opt to order as an ala carte option starting from RM 23.90.

Pineapple Lemonade (RM 9.90). Indulge your meal by enhancing it with some refreshing mocktails or smoothies. I had the Pineapple Lemonade Smoothie and I find the zesty lemon flavours are perfect to wash down all the food we had.

The All New Sharing Platters is now available from 14 May to 15 July 2018. All food items served at NY Steak Shack are Halal certified. In conjunction with the Ramadhan and Aidilfitri period, RM5 from every platter menu purchased will be donated to Rumah Titian Kaseh and a donation box will be placed at all 10 NY Steak Shack outlets as part of the fundraising initiative.

Brighter and Glowy Skin with Elsa Bright Laser @ ME Aesthetic Clinic

18:24 becky-wong 0 Comments


There are many things us ladies will do to make sure our skin condition is as good as it can be. From skin care to makeup, we wouldn't mind spending that extra time and putting that extra effort to take care of our skin.

Back then, I wasn't that kind of girl who bother putting effort doing all these; but at one point, my skin condition got really bad and left me with acne scars for years. It took me years (more than 10 years to be exact!!) to treat my skin, but because my skin was in so bad condition, I'm still battling with the scarring and some other problems. I stumbled upon M.E. Aesthetic Clinic months ago, and decided to check them out.

ME Aesthetic Clinic is a one-stop center providing evidence-based modern facilities and medispa services to fulfill your aesthetic desires. Managed by a team of well-trained and experienced doctors and clinic assistants, the clinic provides cutting-edge non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques designed for total facial rejuvenation and enhancements.

They have 3 branches in Malaysia - 2 branches in KL and 1 branch in Skudai, Johor; and I went to the one located in Berjaya Times Square. Stepping into the clinic, I was immediately greeted by their friendly staffs before going in for consultation. The doctors and clinic assistants were very patience in both examining my skin condition and explaining the procedures to me, and this totally made me feel at ease.

After examining my skin condition, they recommended me to focus the treatment on my pigmentation and acne scars. I was recommended to start off with their Elsa Bright Laser Treatment, also known as Q Switch:ND Yag Laser, for the pigmentation first. Apparently, the treatment is said to help:

- Brightening of the skin
- Diminish pigmentation
- Instant glow
- Collagen stimulation

Also, I was informed the Elsa Bright Laser is a very fast treatment with very little to no down-time. Hence, many people would do it over their lunch time or when they have events to attend.

A round of thorough cleansing before starting the treatment.

Next, apply numb cream on the face and leave it on for 15 minutes.

Honestly, I was a little bit nervous doing the laser treatment mainly because I wasn't sure how the pain is going to be, or will there be any pain at all. LOL!!! It turned out to be surprisingly OK for me. When starting the treatment, the doctor checked with me if the sensation was bearable for me.

I have to admit there was slight prickly pain but nothing was unbearable. Before I knew it, the treatment was done and it only took around 15 minutes.

Here comes my favourite part - soothing mask! The cooling sensation of the mask hitting the face right after a laser treatment was just what I needed. Plus, the machine massaging the mask onto the skin was really very soothing.

Some redness here and there on the skin right after the treatment. Surprisingly, it really wasn't too bad. Compared to some of the facial treatments I went that left my skin looking worse from all the extractions, this was really acceptable for me. However, I was advice to keep out of direct contact with sunlight and constantly apply my sunblock. On the other hand, it is perfectly fine to apply makeup after treatment.

1-2 days after Elsa Bright Laser Treatment. The areas of treatment darkened but I was told it will eventually go off within a week.

The photo was taken before I went for Elsa Bright Laser Treatment. Though not very serious, but the pigmentation were still quite visible.

The photos were taken one week after the treatment. Can see that my skin is clearer now and the pigmentation has reduced and not so visible, compared to before. Also, I realized apply makeup is now much easier and they stay longer too.

On top of Elsa Bright Laser Treatment, I went back to have a different treatment done at ME Aesthetic Clinic too. The main reason that I felt comfortable and safe at ME Aesthethic Clinic is because all of their procedures are done by qualified doctors who know what they are doing.

So...stay tune for my updates!
