Coliseum Cafe, Plaza 33

For some unknown reason my son was reluctant to eat here on 23 August 2014. Maybe he had another preference, I do not know. But one we entered all that changed when he choose his meal. 

Entering Coliseum Cafe at Jaya 33 is a modern experience. Decor is top notch with a little hint of their humble beginnings. They have pictures of photos back in the day when Kuala Lumpur was just starting to boom. 

We occupied the seats near to some wall photos of old KL.

Mountbatten Road, now known as Jalan Tun Perak. Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten, commonly known as Lord Mountbatten, was a British admiral, statesman and the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma. His adventurous and daring acts are more linked to India.

He was the last viceroy of the British Indian Empire and became the first Governor-General of Independent India in 1947. Mountbatten was assassinated on 27 August 1979 by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). The name Mountbatten pays tribute to its link to the British Empire and its role in Malaysia, when Jalan Tun Perak was formally known as Mountbatten Road

I presume that Selangor Padang was Merdeka Square or Dataran Merdeka

Hot Cappucino RM9.00. Not the best. Coffee lover better stay away

Hot Latte RM9.00. Same verdict. You're better off at Coffee Bean

This is what my son ordered. Baked Crabmeat RM20.90. To sum it up in one word. Brilliant tasting. Wholesome crab meat fueled with spices. Not dry and did not taste any small shells in the meat. He enjoyed this dish

Close up. Very hard to say no to this dish

Reverse of the crab. Beautiful red

Hainanese Fried Mee RM15.90. Nice but I will post at a later date a better one

Supreme Chicken Cordon Bleu RM29.90. Oozing with beautiful flavors with each bite  

RM28.90 Chicken 4 in 1. It's basically sausage, cheese and fish wrapped in chicken. MY verdict, nice but I rather spend an extra RM1.00 and get the Cordon Bleu. Mushorrm sauce is great but I miss chunky mushrooms. It lacks visual presentation and taste when you fail to see chunks of mushroom in mushroom sauce

Close up 4 in 1 chicken

Banana and Chocolate Spring Roll RM11.90. My son loved this and finished the whole dish. Unlike providing goreng pisang, they had wrapped the bananas with a popiah wrapper and deep fried it. It taste much better that our last outing here. The banana popiah was crispy but soft and not too hard like the last time   

Apple Pie RM12.50. Yummy. This is a must have dish. Trust me. The photo says it all

The bill. No charge for water
