Premium Stiq by The Road: The Best Stiq Ever

I am a person that is very easily influenced by what I saw on the television.
I remembered when I was to attend a conference in Brisbane,  I had a throng of endless nights to think 'what if I couldn't understand what they will be saying in their slang?'. But then, it ended very well as the nervousness and anticipation made me prepared well (too well at times).
And then when people mentioned about having steak, I will always imagine having dress up and dining in a fine restaurant, using the beautiful china and all. 

Very prominent, by the roadside

But since I want to indulge in the steak wholeheartedly (because steak is pricey), I wish that I don't have to dress up, just roll up my sleeves and dive in, using my hands and no fancy utensils, at all! And now, I have that freedom to dress as simply as I want and eat the steak using my fingers and not fancy utensils!
I have found this uniquely named eatery, by the roadside, nonetheless, aptly called 'Stiq' [pronounced as steak] - pun intended! Looking like a food truck, but without tires, this stiqhouse is situated in Wangsa Maju, by the roadside, under a tree, with only tents and flip tables and chair ready! And when I arrived, there was already a long queue, either waiting to be seated or waiting for their takeaways.
Looking at the setting, I thought to myself 'The price better not be causing me an arm!'. And then, bam! The price list was right in front of my face! 

Stiq's menu

'I hope the taste is as good as the price too.' Skeptical much, Rawlins? About an hour and a half later, after been served 7 of the best sellers, I am sold!
Stiq serves the best steak at very affordable prices in town!
I proclaimed so because the meat was juicy and tender. I realised that I do not have any slabs of meat stuck in my teeth after the meal was done, unlike when I ate overly priced steak at some posh eatery. 
When I asked Chef Tuah the secret of the steaks being so tasty, juicy and tender, he answered 'Cut the meat with love and all smiles. And also, thanks to the method sous-vide that allows the meat to properly marinated before preparing it for serving.'

Meats in sous-vide

WHAT IS SOUSVIDE? Sous-vide (/suːˈviːd/; French for "under vacuum") is a method of cooking in which food is vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and then placed in a water bath or steam environment for longer than normal cooking times (usually 1 to 7 hours, up to 48 or more in some cases) at an accurately regulated temperature. The temperature is much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 55 to 60 °C (131 to 140 °F) for meat, higher for vegetables. The intent is to cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and to retain moisture.

Bila dengar Chef Ramsay memasak juadah cara sousvide, terus berangan nak try. Tapi katne ada masak cara gitu? 🍗🥩🍖 Pastu dapat tahu yang @stiqofficial ada masak kaedah gitu. Terus bergegas nak try.

No wonder the meat tasted like a piece of heaven inside my mouth, and I savoured the meat longer before eating it through (an action that I do not normally do as I eat fast).
In operation since October 2017, Stiq has been the talk of the town due to its premium meat, tasty dishes and also reasonable and affordable price (they are selling up to 40% under the market price). When I asked about whether they can make a profit by selling at such a price, the Big Boss just smiled and answered 'InsyaAllah, even worm could still survive while living under the rock. But we also believe in numbers - more customers equal to bigger profit.' And I do believe that they are getting bigger numbers as people keep on queuing while we were munching away on the dishes.
So people, let us see the best sellers from Stiq that I tried.

Each menu comes with one drink (can/ bottle). And Stiq is using US potato, strips of bacon and sour cream as the garnish for each menu too. Whereas, each steak is weighing 250 - 300 gm each. As for the sauces, we can request for the sauce as per stated in the menu above.

Which one is the winning dish?
As for me (and I'm being biased as I love meat and chicken haha), the Grass Fed Striploin tasted the best, that night!

As we were about to leave the table, the Big Boss of Stiq came and presented two of the best sellers burgers from Kaw Kaw Burger, the burger stall next to his joint.

'Your trip to Wangsa Maju eateries is not complete without tasting these two delicious burgers' he said.

True enough, despite we were all full, the burgers were done in just minutes and we found ourselves licking the sauces from our fingers.

I will definitely come again soon. I wanna try the wagyu from Stiq.
