Dinner at Coliseum~

Made a trip downtown 2 sundays ago.. now that im staying in PJ, there's hardly a chance for me to venture into KL when everything is available around here.. Anyways, went to KL Sogo with Lilian & Vivien to get a haircut as well as check out the 'forever on sale' Sogo shopping mall.. Got a dress and a pair of shoes :) yippee~!

We decided to venture down the road for dinner at the famous Coliseum Cafe & Hotel on Jalan TAR.. This is my 3rd visit to this oldie restaurant, the taste of the food just sticks itself into your memory, hehehhe... Im always fascinated by the sizzling steaks but a little to pricey for ppl on a budget~

The very vintage looking sign~ my memory of the place is that its very old, old building, old decor, old furnishings and even old waiters (but there were some younger waiters this time around tho)

the furnishings are preserved from the 1920s when the shop first opened.. :)

Can see the bar counter and some old waiters here :)

Menu!! if ever you need to make reservations.. hehehe...

Waiting for our dinner!!

Hungry until eyeing the sauce :P

Ordered the same drink as Lil, which was pink guava juice.. love the colour :)

Vivien's ice blended cappuccino.. A little weak for coffee lovers, but if you're a non-coffee person like me, then maybe you will like it lor..

Pretty crowded.. I think there were lots of tourists..

before our food came, we had fun watching the diners wearing bibs around their necks and the waiters pouring sauce onto the hotplates.. This lady just looks so tranquil~ hehehe

Chicken Maryland..

The portion was so huge that Lil had trouble finishing it.. I think the chicken and the banana tasted great! esp the banana.. crispy on the outside and warm and soft and sweet inside :D

Fried Fish with french beans and mashed potatoes~

The slice of fish was also humongous, perfect for fishlovers! The mashed potato was very buttery and filling as well... Very worth it.. plus the black pepper sauce wasnt too spicy :)

My baked stuffed crab which i've been craving for since my last visit :):):)

One of the must try dishes.. saw lots of ppl ordering this besides me~ but if you want value for money, then this dish wont be as worth it as the 2 previous ones.. but i guarantee its super yummy, i still remembered the taste long after i tried it many years ago..

Me with my caramel custard.. which couldnt come out clear when photographed.. no idea why.. tastes the same as the one i had in Ipoh ages and ages ago.. quite a huge slab served too!

Ppl always say not to play with your food.. but when impulse comes, you just cant help it :D

My crabby masterpiece~

I swear the next time i go to Coliseum, im ordering the sizzling steak.. dared not order since the first time i visited more than 10 years ago, cos the idea of wearing a bib when eating just gives me the feeling of being a baby @.@~

Sizzling steak wait for me!!!!
