It was of pure chance that I stumbled upon this gem-of-a-place, somewhere along the lines of my food escapades.
Little did I know thereafter that this restaurant, is in fact a reknown steak house that has been around for close to a decade.
It was nice walking into a half packed restaurant despite being very much pass lunch time. Imagine how it'd be like during peak lunch hour!
Having been open for a few months in Jaya33 and creating a bit of a buzz from its other age-old branch in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, KL, Coliseum is on its way to backing its namesake.
Recognised in the Malaysia Book of Records as the Longest Operating Western Colonial-Themed Restaurant, I wasn't surprised at the sleek interior and exterior.
It was a slightly chilly from where I sat nonetheless.
Coliseum Café is also is pork free.
I couldn't go past the steak here. I mean - it is literally a sin, to not order steak at Coliseum.
Customer service was top notch. Drinks took mere minutes, appetizer came in 5 minutes and the steak came in 10. Dessert arrived in a jiff too.
One of the happiest things a customer can rave about - no waiting time!
Baked Crab Meat. Rm20.90.
Served on a hard crab shell, I scooped a spoonful of the deep fried golden crust on top, revealing a mix of crab meat and condiments inside.
The flavours and textures are tantalizing, but halfway through, I had to slather on a good mound of mayo - it was sparce in seasoning. The mayo is there for a reason after all. I really enjoyed the layer of crusty deep fried crab meat nonetheless.
Would I order this again? Probably not.
Sizzling Fillet Steak. Rm51.90.
Normally, I would opt for medium-rare but since we were sharing and my friend wasn't too keen on having likewise, we got ours done medium-well this time round.
The steak was done just right, tender and seasoned well, with a slight pinkish hue in the middle, on the thicker part of the fillet. There isn't much time to spare as you have to eat the steak quickly, as the savoury brown gravy thickens quite rapidly.
The wedges was equally appealing. Possibly homemade with tasty and crusty edges that I can never get enough of. More wedges please?
Crepe with Ice Cream. Rm8.90.
The crepe was delicately folded into a blanket, on a bed of honey and there was vanilla ice cream inside! What a sweet treat to end my meal.
Overall Rating: 7.5/10. Food was good and customer service great. With a decade long of successful recipes in tow, you can't go wrong at here. That said, Coliseum didn't exactly wow me, though this may be one of the safest Steak place to go to in PJ and potential favourite for many, I'm still on the lookout for the best Steak House in town.
