1. Check out the ‘Kaleidoscope’ art installation by Red Hong Yi
Where: Nespresso Boutique, The Gardens Mall
Did you know that you can send your used Nespresso coffee capsules for recycling? Just drop them off at the Boutiques in The Gardens Mall or One Utama Shopping Centre. The used capsules are sent to a local recycling centre, while the coffee grounds will be turned into compost at local organic farms. To highlight this initiative and the importance of recycling, Nespresso worked with contemporary Malaysian artist Red Hong Yi to create the art installation titled ‘Kaleidoscope’. Themed after ‘Doing is Everything’, the idea is that every person playing a role, no matter how big or small, leads to a positive impact.
The installation is brought to life via 24,000 pieces of used Nespresso capsules and seven mirrored panels. Altogether, it sits at a height of 1.46m and weighs 70kg. It’s a sight to behold! If you have the time, there’s a full art exhibition at South Palm, The Gardens, showcasing Red Hong Yi’s inspiration and a look into the behind-the-scenes of ‘Doing is Everything’.

3. Indulge in a decadent Porterhouse steak
Where: Maria’s SteakCafe, various locations
When: From 12 April 2021
Imagine the sizzle that follows crisp crust, and when you bite into that steak, it’s beefy, buttery, and so tender that it almost melts in your mouth. Or don’t imagine at all because Maria’s SteakCafe has just introduced the absolutely decadent Porterhouse steak into their menu. Known also as the ‘King of Steaks’, the Porterhouse is a popular cut of beef and Maria’s SteakCafe is taking it a step further with a new way of cooking it. First grilling and searing the beef in high heat until a deep brown crust appears, then transferring it onto a ceramic plate to be cooked slowly in the oven. It is then served pre-sliced, basted with a mix of melted brown butter and beef tallow. Are you salivating already?
The Porterhouse steak (Australian Black Angus) is priced at RM50 per 100g and is sufficient for two persons to share. You can make a reservation here.
