Best Steak in Town, Castell Restaurant @ Section 16, PJ
After helping out Ee Lune on a photo shoot for Castell and it was a good experience and the restaurant had been into one of my recommended list of restaurant
(click here previous post). Few days later, I received a sms from Ee Lune that the owner would like to host all of us for a review in her restaurant and I was so happy to go again.
Castell had been here for more than 30 years, yes, I seriously meant 30 years but not many people know about this restaurant as it was overshadow by the overhead bridge in front of it. This restaurant is famous for their steak, and a few signature item in the menu which is seriously good! Previously, the restaurant was run by a couple and they decided to call it a day for retirement, then they sold it off to a guy, and now Sheena is the new owner of this restaurant that had spend to refurbish it and it is about 3 months old now.
The owner also had the passion to bake as most of the deserts in the shop are prepared by her, there are one desert that I miss a lot when I was studying at Melbourne and she baked it and Sheena told me that what she have prepared for us in the list, my jaw dropped, as it lotsssss of food!
As Mother’s Day is around the corner, this would be one of the choice to consider.
The pictures taken by me during the last photoshot and had been used by the restaurant in their advertisement.
As the night is still young, we got serve with ‘Bread served with garlic, olive oil and vinegar’
Then the first dish of the night came out, by the look of ‘Crabmeat Seasoned & Stuffed Back in Its Shell’ is no stranger to us, its a mixture of east and west, it was perfectly fried till it was golden brown and using my fork to break it open, it was meaty in it, as they use the whole crab meat to stuff it in and mix with other ingredient. (RM19.90)
‘Grilled Portobello Mushrooms’ – Three Varieties (Mixed Herbs, Tabasco and Garlic Butter) at (RM15.00)
I just love this as it reminds me during my uni time when I joined bbq club that they this is actually one of the must eat item in the list. I just love how it is grilled till the flavor were add in till the mushroom absorb the taste of it.
‘Mushroom Cheese Bruschetta’ – 4 Pieces’ (RM12.90)
I am a bread lover as anything that freshly toast in it, its good!
‘Tomato & Basil Bruschetta – 4 Pieces’ (RM12.90)
If you are looking for something simple yet appetizing, ‘Prawn Cocktail’ – Prawns, Lettuce, Special Castell Dressing (RM12.00)
‘Jumbo Prawn Bisque’ (RM22.00)
When it was serve, we were quite surprise by one huge prawn cut into half that stand tall like that and all of us were like, woahhh!!! And just cant wait to taste on it. It was as good as crab bisque that the prawn was very fresh, chewy n springy.
