Coliseum

YES. The long awaited post is finally here...I present you *drum rolls*..... COLISEUM!!!!!!!!! and yes, we had to wait for our table ( only if we were late--7-8pm, you need to go around 5-6pm just to get your seats) Service is pretty fast and good overall. 

Over the weekend, i went to 2 different Coliseum branches; Mid Valley and Plaza 33. You would need to try both branches to actually taste the difference. I mean, no two restaurant has the same EXACT chef cooking at the same time right? 

**WARNING: this post will make you drool all over your computer and there's a high possibility that you will annoy your friend/partner/colleague to take you and eat this for lunch/dinner right now :P DISCLAIMER**

MID VALLEY:

Coliseum @ Mid Valley.

-Lighting of the restaurant is pretty bad. Can't really take good photos :(

Coliseum @ Mid Valley

- Place is pretty small. That's why it's so crowded all the time. Nevertheless, food comes pretty fast too.

Hainanese Fried Mee RM20.90

-I wouldn't recommend anyone to order this unless you're the member in the family who hates western and MUST eat chinese dishes. It taste like the typical kind of fried mee you get at normal food stalls (cheaper ones). However, the smell of the dish is....SUPERB. Makes you want to taste it as soon as possible. The smell of the seafood is pretty strong. You need to eat this dish while it's served hot. Overall the taste is pretty delicious; enough seasoning.

Sizzling Australian Rib Eye Steak RM54.90

>Choice of sauce: Black pepper, mushroom, garlic or brown sauce)

-THIS. THIS. THIS. enough said. This was the BEST steak I've ever tasted in my entire life. The first bite of the meat.....it was so....orgasmic! The tenderness and juiciness of the steak just burst into my mouth. The medium well-done steak was cooked to perfection. The meat--oh gosh. SO GOOD. Whether you dip the meat into the sauce or not, it still tasted delicious!!!!! #musttry The salad was pretty fresh as well though i think anyone can make that kind of Caesar salad. This was ordered at the Mid Valley branch

Baked Crabmeat RM22.90

>A house specialty served with salad

-This dish is for those who don't really want to eat much. The crust of  crab meat is crunchy. Seasoned well and tasted quite delicious. And yes, I need to comment on the salad because it seriously looked pathetic but worth ordering. However, they seriously need to work on their presentation skills.

Supreme Chicken Cordon Bleu RM31.90

>Chicken breast stuffed with turkey ham and cheddar cheese fried with bread crumbs, served with french fries and fresh vegetables.

-I thought it the dish was pretty good although the chicken piece looked a bit small... Definitely not enough for the big eaters. I couldn't really taste the ham as well...I'm not really sure how it's suppose to look like. But, there was a bit of pinkish color in the middle of the meat..the ham pieces i suppose?? I really LOVE their stirred fry vegetables; in cube sizes. It tasted so good!!!! The radish and carrot was seasoned perfectly! Loved it!

PLAZA 33:

Mushroom soup RM 9.90

-The soup tasted pretty thick and starchy. Taste nicer when it's served hot. But the bread......SO SOFT AND FLUFFY. 

Fish and Chips RM 21.90

>Served with salad and tartar sauce

-One of the cheapest dishes on the menu. It was okay...not a 'wow' dish. Just...okay.

Prawn Cocktail RM13.90

-Nothing special. Vegetables taste fresh that's all. The sauce has a bit of the spiciness in it. I wouldn't recommend ordering this salad. To be honest, the Japanese restaurant serves better and delicious salads.

Grilled Australian Sirloin Steak RM47.90

>Served with french fries, fresh vegetables and tomato with choice of sauce

- I ordered this because I assumed that it will taste as good as the one at Mid Valley. Well, I thought wrong! It was disappointed and unpleasant dining experience with this dish. The steak didn't have enough taste and it was SO difficult to cut and chew the meat! I'm not a steak expert but for me, I wouldn't order this again. My jaw hurts after eating this dish. Big chunk of meat but I still didn't like it because of the flavor. This tasted like medium-rare (?) even though we order medium-well done. I guess the meat would be easier to chew if it was medium-well done. But once again, everybody has different preferences.

Mixed Grilled RM53.90

> Grilled fillet steak, lamb chop, chicken, beef bacon, sausages and fried egg served with fresh vegetable and tomato. THIS has got to be the most worth it dish served in Coliseum. SO MANY TYPES OF MEAT. Seriously, 2 person would be full after sharing this dish (**depends on individual's appetite) However, the presentation skills for this dish is 3/10. Very unprofessionally done. The meat is just "splattered" on top of each other. It doesn't look pleasing to the eye but it definitely pleases your taste buds! Everything tasted really good. Among the dishes we ordered at Plaza 33, this was the best dish. 

Coliseum doesn't just serve these types of dishes, they also do serve Sizzling Hot Plate steaks. BUT, your hair, shirt and everything will get really smokey and smelly if you order the sizzling dishes. Trust me, if you're bringing your date there...don't order that. just don't. LOL 

Overall, Mid Valley Coliseum  : 8/10 for tastier food but lack of space.

             Plaza 33 Coliseum      : 7/10 for spacious outlet but taste of dishes not so good.

Thank you for supporting us!

Stay tuned for more delicious and juicier reviews..... :)
