Many times i wanted to try out Coliseum but the crowds and long queue has turn me down.
these days the craze is no longer there...so i guess is time to drop by.
it was lunch time, and i dun feel like having steak...so i opted for Hainanese chicken chop.
but when it arrived, i was shocked to see their version of it...
Well, it has green pea, tomatoes and mushroom (yea, the usual ingredients) but the gravy is slightly thicker than the usual Hainanese-style chicken chop. Nevertheless, generous amount of fries and huge piece of chicken chop which will stuff u till full.
and how's the food???
well, the gravy has a strong taste of Heinz tomato ketchup, which is of no difference from eating a pile of ketchup poured on a slab of chicken chop!
To add salt to injury, my sis even commented:
"what??? u eat at Coliseum? i heard that their food sucks!"
Darn, no wonder there wasn't much people dining there.
Hahaha, kesian lo. I guess everyone go try for the first time, then learned the lesson and never go back.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to eat there a few times but could not bring myself to walk in after looking at the food the diners were eating. Too much sauce and gravy and meat. I prefer sushi so went for Japanese food instead.
ReplyDeleteI went there once and hubby cursed/vowed never to go back there again.. Kz had fish and chips and it cost a bomb.. I chose the cheapest western meal on the menu (as I feel like having western), and it cost almost RM30 for a chicken chop. Kill me. Soya bean cost a bomb too, ridiculous.. A meal of fish & chips (for the boys), 2 chicken chops and drinks cost RM130+.. With that price, I'd rather go to Chilis or TR..
ReplyDeleteRealGunners: yea, that should be my first & final time eating there.
ReplyDeleteMun: lucky u, at least u can sneak peek on what other diners eat. When I went there, I only see a table with a family eating sizzling steak, looks OK though, and I was tricked to go in.
Princess Ribbon: Their drinks really cost a bomb, that's why I go for plain water ;-) I agree that TR/Chillis would be a better choice for such price.
I didnt know they have it there. Hope one day when i go downtown can try out
ReplyDeleteSmall Kucing: Yea, perhaps u can try out and blog about it. I tink their grilled steak is OK (judging from those that the next table diners had). Others are totally not recommended.
ReplyDeleteI have been to the outlet at Jalan TAR way before they started the chains business model.. errr, have not tried elsewhere but your sis said their food sucks??!! hehe, actually i also didn't find their food that great, went there just for the sake of going :D
ReplyDeleteBut from the photo, it looks ok, something I'd enjoy, I love thick gravy, hehe!
ReplyDeleteSK: i guess the main branch is still OK provided the chefs are those old timer. Yea, go for the sake of going, at least i hav tried once ;-)
ReplyDeleteHayley: first 2 bites are fine, but continuously afterwards feels like eating ketchup, coz the taste is so overpowering and strong.
Hmmm..as much as I love ketchup but I think the sauce is too much for my chicken shop.HAhhah
ReplyDeleteYee Ling: agree, it is too much for the chicken so what i did was i 'sapu' the sauce with fries, treating it like ketchup;-)
