Castell serves the best ribs in town
*WARNING: Do not read with an empty stomach*
When Bok invited us all to dinner one day at Castell, I couldn’t help but ask, where is it? Situated in the heart of PJ in Section 16, this restaurant has actually been around for decades! *shame on me* Recently, it has been given a new look and a revamped menu by the owner, and we’re one of the lucky ones to be able to sample the new and existing dishes, set in the dim and romantic ambience that is Castell.

I absolutely adored what the owner has done to the place, with unpretentious furniture in a simple yet elegant setting. It made me feel right at home.

Before dinner started, we were served with some bread and glasses of Iced Lemon Tea to cool down our souls after a long day at work.

Bread served with garlic, olive oil and vinegar
The dishes then started coming one after another, starting with the appetizers. One thing I must say though, is that Castell definitely takes pride in their food presentation! Regardless of appetizer, mains or desserts, each dish was arranged meticulously and beautifully to reflect the dish’s best potential. 
The owner especially was very particular with presentation. Any extra drip of oil on the plate would set her running away to get a piece of tissue to wipe it off! No kidding.
Tomato & Basil Bruschetta – 4 Pieces (RM12.90)
The stuffed crab was something fusion, with piping hot, finely sliced crab meat painstakingly stuffed into the crab shell. Stick your fork beneath the breaded surface to reveal an abundance of delicious crab meat that is the perfect appetizer.

Mushroom Cheese Bruschetta – 4 Pieces (RM12.90)
The grilled portobello mushroom as fragrant and juicy, not to mention huge. I didn’t expect to enjoy it because I’m not a fan of mushroom but I did!

The prawn cocktail was loaded with plenty of succulent prawns amidst special Castell dressing.

Plenty of prawns
Moving on to soups, the most memorable one that I had was the Jumbo prawn bisque. This was served with a really huge prawn cut into two halves, with thick and wholesome soup which would feed even the choosiest person. Very aromatic and rich in flavour indeed.

Yea I didn’t have enough of the ribs
I love kurau I tell you. Back in those days, there was this cafe in Ipoh named Rendezvous that served the best grilled kurau with a tangy/spicy tomato-based sauce.
Til now, you can’t find kurau in most menu, seriously.

Oh I remember Rendezvous, I ate there before when I was young too! Too bad it’s already closed down. The kurau is good here!
I regretted reading with an empty stomach.
