Another one of our favourites here is the Fried Anchovies. I find the preparation here to be really good. The price is now RM 12.90 and we found the portion to be decent. Preparation was good and again, this too deserves a rating of 9/10. Do note that this is a spicy dish and comes with lot's of bird eye chillies.
Coliseum is most well known for their sizzling meats and that's exactly what they're good at. I would just stick with anything sizzling...in brown or black pepper sauce.....and forget about everything else...except (maybe?) their Hainanese Chicken Chop (which many have sing praises of) though I'm doubtful the sauce (which looks too reddish from the photos I see on blogs), probably leaning more towards a tart tomato-based sauce, can be better than Yut Kee's (which I absolutely love).
Coliseum Cafe is a popular dining spots. The cafe is fully packed during dinner time especially on weekends. We waited for around 30mins to be seated. Oh well, good food are worth the wait right?
Makhan By Kitchen Mafia. Sure. Massively mafia eating and massively mafia boozing. What a scene when we arrived before 7.30pm. Rocking and rolling. Big groups tucking into food, some waiting to be served, whereas the bar area, inside and outside, spilling over with customers drinking to glory. I could also hear music blasting from the first floor once we secured a table at the far end dining area. Oh-my! Happening. Akin all mafias are in Makhan, indeed a "Muhibbah Malaysia Boleh" crowd. Believe me. A sight I truly admired. Malaysians of all walks of life coming together for pleasuring into food and of course booze, compared to the deceiving web of Whatsapp where Malaysians debate on racial disparities, additionally, voice out their sense and insensibility on which political leader they are trying their level best to boot out. Colorful Malaysia, isn't it? I know. But in Makhan By Kitchen Mafia, Malaysians fearlessly blend in as “One/Satu Malaysia”. Fantastic.
Run by the same folks behind Hello by Kitchen Mafia, Makhan by Kitchen Mafia is their newest food venture, that is comfortably tucked in The Gasket Alley, situated right next to Jaya One. There are two sections to their menu - one for all-things-British, and the other for Northern Indian cuisine, a rather uncommon, but not exactly a surprising combination.
This option was my choice. It consisted of Baked Flat Bread (rosemary & herbs) + Butter Chicken + Couliflower + Sweet Acar + Pickles + Lentils + Papadum. This was really delicious, it totally makes sense why this was one of their popular items. It literally was one whole plate of yummy variety. The butter chicken was on point, not too spicy and just right in its flavoring. The bread was basically a tinner version of your typical naan and with the flavoring from the rosemary and herbs, it was flavorful too. I liked letting the bread soaked in the butter chicken gravy for a bit because the bread gets a lil soggy, which makes it ever yummier. The couliflower, acar and pickles were equally as good – a burst of flavors, sweet, sour and everything in between.
