28022015 Dinner at Sunway Pyramid & Office Refreshment Shopping

It's the end of the month, and I've yet to do shopping for office's refreshment! Almost forgotten about it... nope, kidding, I don't forget about these stuff, it's just that I've been very busy off late that I didn't have the time to do so.

But I'm really running out of ideas what to buy for my colleagues, and at times like these is where I use Phone-a-friend option. I'm sure you'll be lucky enough to know who I dialed for =) Someone who is quick to decide on food-related matters and is rather spontaneous for an outing =D

Have you guessed who it is?
Thanks to Min, we didn't have to pay extra 20sens per plastic bag!
Reusable and environment friendly shopping bags =P

We bought of food, in within 30-40 minutes =D
Mission accomplished!

As for dinner, that was a minor issue until we came across a restaurant in which neither me nor Min had tried before, NY Steak Shack! I passed by the outlet in Mid Valley and it's usually packed with people, but to our luck this evening, this outlet in Sunway Pyramid has many vacant tables for us to select.

Taste wise - it's actually pretty good. But may I suggest that if you should try the steak, please skip mushroom gravy/sauce. You'll be better off with the blackpepper gravy/sauce instead. They do delivered as per requested on the condition of the steak (rare, medium rare, medium, well done, etc), so rest assured you're in good hands =)

Environment wise - it's cozy really with ample space around you, so that you don't feel so uptight. Some places are just so cramped that you feel pressured just by sitting itself.

Service wise - they are quick to serve, take order and friendly. I had my shopping trolley but due to restaurant policies of no trolleys past the entrance, the hostess offered to take care of it and assured me that she'll have her eyes on my trolley at all times. Good service? Definitely an Ace!

Price wise - it's steak house/shack. I'd be kidding you to say that this is affordable for most meals. You're probably gonna have to look in the range of RM20-40 (might be higher if you're going for bigger serving and more premium menu) excluding drinks and desserts. Click here to browse their menu.

Coincidentally, Min and I had the same plan of going to KL to do shopping, separately - her's fashion-related, and mine's technology-related. So, I suggested we meet half way and grab high tea together =)

It was rather easy for two spontaneous people to have a last minute arrangement. We each had our own agenda, and towards the end, we just meet up. Thankfully for that as well, because we managed to get a good deal out of something common in which we both we were looking for.

Vinnfier Neo 2 Talk
Original price is RM99; Promo price is RM69.
Thanks to Min, we got two for RM129; so that makes it RM64.50 each!
hahaha, tell me if that's not a better deal! =)

This speaker is rather good look and it's REALLY good for the price!
It's a Bluetooth speaker with Aux-in and MicroSD-play capability.
To top that, it can serve as a loud-speaker Bluetooth receiver ('cause it has a in built mic too)

Hooked it up to my laptop and boy, it's loud and clear!
Better than expected!

Besides this speaker, I was looking around for an 3rd party external flash that is compatible with my current compact camera, Panasonic Lumix LX-5. However, every shop had their own opinion of what's good and what's not, which does not seem to have a common ground leaving me rather confused. My fault partially, because I forgot to bring my camera along. Eventually I found a shop with its staff who told me not to be too concerned about the flash until I bring in my camera, so that he can explain further to me. Also, he offered me a discount if I were to pay in cash, should I decide to purchase from him. That's good news for me =) And oh yeah, I managed to get myself a FM-modulator (old-school tech, for my Myvi). Radio's not playing much of what I want to listen - fresh songs and less ads / commentaries.
