Went there upon my friend's recommendation for "THE BEST STEAK IN THE WORLD" - well, I'm no steak connoiseur, but it was pretty damn good. You could very well miss it along Jln T.A Rahman, the exterior is so run down,so keep your eyes peeled!

The Coliseum has existed since 1929, and looks it. Even the waiter-uncle who took our order looks like he has been there all his life. Hahahah! Gruff service, old furniture, ceiling fans, an air-con that hardly seems to work, smoky interiors, a very old looking bar.

Food wise we had the baked crab which was really stuffed full of crabmeant and delicious. A friend had a mixed grill with brown sauce, and 2 of us had grilled steak, one with black pepper sauce and one with mushroom sauce. The black pepper sauce was excellent, fiery and rich, and so was the mushroom sauce. According to my friend with the mixed grill, the beef was gorgeous and soft, the chicken fragrant, and the lamb didn't have that 'lamb smell'.

My steak was medium well done, and it was very tender and beautifully pink on the inside. The steak is served on a sizzling plate and prepared right next to your table (explains the smokiness of the place).

Portions are huge. We also order French Onion soup and mushroom soup (these soups were unfortunately mediocre), and the steak came with a big grilled tomato, and a side salad. We couldn't finish everything.
No room for dessert! So sad. I would have like to try the banana fritters with ice cream that the next table ordered. Their fried rice looks good too! If you go to KL, must try!
