This dish serves with potato and leek mash, wild mushrooms, cured cherry tomato and olive tart with saffron nage. Thumbs up for it! The dish is not only attracting my appetite, but also tastes great! The cod is so tender that just like melt in my mouth when I eat it. It is very fresh without any fishy odor. If you are a seafood lover, you can't miss it.

This is a lavish salad. The smoked salmon is my favorite. The salmon is tender and properly seasoning. Talking about the prawn salad, it is a creative salad. The chef use crispy cookies to folder with tomato, and top with fresh prawns. The taste is fresh and nice.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city life, very few restaurants still capture serenity, luxury, and intimacy; Samplings on the Fourteen proves to be one such rare gem that excels in doing so, despite being right in the heart of the busy city, with a view of the chaos outside from the fourteenth floor, while being insulated from it all.

Samplings’ Christmas Even dinner offers such an experience, with a leisurely-paced multi-course meal that facilitates faithful friends who are dear to us, to gather near to us, once more.

To start, appetizer of shrimp and smoked salmon delight the palate with a fresh, crisp introductions of flavour for the evening. The plump shrimp meets the flaky cracker and fresh tomatoes in a light balance of brininess and freshness.

Pumpkin soup, rendered perfectly between the extremes of too fine and too coarse – a delicate balancing act, accomplished flawlessly; and boasts further with it’s deep, naturally earthy flavours, unintruded by excessive ingredients; leaving the complexity only to nature and not to the meddling hands of the elves.

To cleanse the palate before the main course, an interestingly fresh watermelon-mint sorbet. While refreshing, I would have preferred a stronger hint of mint, to further exaggerate the sensation of coolness.

A choice of three main courses, from which I selected lamb – while the dish clearly hinted plenty of thought and effort, the lamb was lacking some tenderness, although not tough; but gave more resistance to the chew that I would have preferred. There was some imbalance in the flavours, with a little bit more tartness and saltiness than I would have hoped.

The rainbow of vegetables served beyond aesthetic purposes, as they gave the dish a much-needed dimension of flavour. They were fresh and crispy, and caramelized just right. Perhaps if they were in greater abundance, it would neutralize the weight of the flavours from the lamb.

Keeping to the Christmas theme, dessert was Christmas pudding and cinnamon ice cream. I’ve never been a big fan of Christmas pudding, but the cinnamon ice cream was delightfully different, and I awkwardly caught myself verbally repeating praises over it.

Christmas is this joyful festive where in culinary, the magical quality of love at first sight strikes when attending the tasting event at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. This Christmas eve, Samplings On The Fourteenth Restaurant attributes an entire course of fine dining servings beautifully plated to put a smile across your face when enjoying the line of exquisite dishes. Specially designed by Chef Val, the meal sets in with top class services, and overlooking the captivating view of Kuala Lumpur at the fourteenth floor to instantly position dinners at immediate tranquility. Almost perfect for the special festive.

The huge pendant light from the ceiling crafted majestic and posh layout yet chic at the same time, perfect to lounge and treat your palate with their attractive and tantalizing offerings.

Dining at Samplings on the Fourteenth Restaurant is always satisfying. Services were ensured their best possible and the smile on the faces of their staffs are always warm and welcoming. The feeling of comfort is the same as their buns although I’d appreciate consistency. I recall fluffier texture the last time I had them.

This four course meals begins with starters so beautifully plated. The freshness of ingredient absolutely justified the beautiful plating and as I always said, the essence and key to perfect dish comprises of a mix of brilliant recipe and good ingredients. This one was absolutely stunning and memorable, and definitely a great choice to kick start the meal. There is the appetizing Smoked salmon and prawn salad with tomato tart and lemon choice vinaigrette where the flavour compliments one another pretty compatible to bring out the best of one another.

The prawn was worth much admiration as the Chef cleverly blends the texture of different components into one. Tomato contributes to the moist and juiciness while there is crisp along succulent and al dente from the prawn. The prawns were amazingly done, with enough resistance to teeth to momentarily stop just right before a gentle chew.

Served next was the Pumpkin Soup served warm and beautifully rich with intense fresh pumpkin with a dallop of sour cream. Despite slightly huge in portion and slightly brine leading to a slightly relenting finishing, I was in cloud nine after the first taste and instantly polished this thick and luscious soup in no time. The generous use of pumpkin in this soup is absolutely venerable.

After this was the entremets to clean the greases to get the stomach ready for next excitement. Minted Watermelon Sorbet was a brilliant flavour to mark the end of starters, presented with just the right hint of culinary glamour. No doubt, it is still an appetite stimulant which maybe a little short of mint in my opinion but refreshing at the same time.

After successfully remove lingering flavours from the mouth, the main was then enjoyed with a fresh perspective. Chef Val had three mains to host and I can totally understand the difficulty to have to pick from these three. The first would be the stunning Christmas Roast Turkey. What is Christmas without turkey? Blending tradition with new discoveries, this one is served with bacon wrapped sage and onion shuffling, roasted potatoes, buttered Brussels sprouts and carrots with cranberry and apple sauce. It may not be the best to my liking but the buttered Brussels sprouts were amazing.

Also available to create more contemplation in picking the desired main would be this Slow Roasted Lamb Shank with Rosemary Jus with parmesan polenta instead of the conventional mash potato and grilled baby vegetables. I really like the flavour combination in this one plus the gorgeous texture of parmesan polenta.The slow cook preserves the sweetness and juiciness while the rosemary masked some portion of the gaminess in lamb making this a fantastic dish to pamper your palate.

The last choice is the Pan Seared Cod which I totally salute and agree with everything possibly done by the chef. A clever masterpiece with such simple main ingredient, served with potato and leek mash, wild mushrooms, cured cherry tomato and olive tart with saffron nage which in my opinion was the wow factor. It was fantastically thicken when broth is reduced and matching that with the plump serving of very fresh cod to match the natural sweetness of cod fish.

End the meal with Chestnut Mille Feuille as dessert. I fancy the puff pastry layered with chestnut cream although I would appreciate it a lot more if there is a more intense flavour of chestnut. This one’s served with orange-flavoured Christmas pudding and cinnamon ice cream. Cinnamon fan would fall heads over heels when tasting this ice cream. I assure you that.

Lastly, pick Coffee or Tea and Christmas holiday tradition must of course include Christmas Petit Four. This petit four nibble was an indulgence in sweet fragrant and tempting, smooth flavours of chocolate and orange.

Pan-seared Belgian sole & scallop rolls with champagne trout caviar sauce, green asparagus & saffron potato. Succulent stuff, sublime with the savory sauce. A seafood dinner like this makes us believe that meat might be an unnecessary evil.

Service is sparkling and the wine list is OK, though it tips toward the pricier end.

Traffic never ceases; on the bright side, this steady stream of car lights was visually splendid.

Marron with asparagus, artichoke, cepes mushroom salad & white truffle oil vinaigrette. A light, guilt-free recipe that still provides plenty of pleasure; the tender crayfish would taste fine on its own, but the infusion of truffle oil makes every bite a beautifully aromatic one.

Traffic never ceases; on the bright side, this steady stream of car lights was visually splendid.

Samplings on the Fourteen: Round 2. Goose liver on candied apples, mixed cress & aged balsamic vinegar. Surprisingly sizable slabs, triumphantly tasty. When was the last time we had foie gras? Seems like far too long ago. Kaffir lime panna cotta. Smooth and creamy, with an orange, chili & caramel topping. Earl Grey chocolate mousse with cashew nut snap. The list of desserts here isn't long, but whatever we tried left us supremely satisfied.

Samplings on the Fourteen: Round 2. Clear venison essence. Reminiscent of oxtail broth, brimming with tender slices of meat. The accompaniment of fried dumplings was mushroom-laced parisienne _ a cross between gnocchi and arancini. Duck confit with organic lentils & fricassee lettuce. One of KL's juiciest, least salty versions of this recipe. These savory dishes at Samplings could pass muster at a full-fledged Parisian restaurant. Bilyara, Wolf Blass Shiraz (2009).

For desserts, the Mango Panna Cotta is the best selection. Savour each mouthful as the slippery cold mango flavoured pudding glides down your throat. It is also accompanied with fresh sweet mango salad on the side to satisfy the bigger appetite for mango lovers. It's a little too sweet for me hence I have them together with the home-made olive syrup neutralises the sweetness with a slightly fragrant aftertaste.

For seafood lover, the Stuffed Whole Squid with Spring Citrus Salad the one for you. It is one special dish of its own. The filling of chicken mousseline in the squid complements both meats which lent a balance texture between soft and chewy touch on the taste bud. The spring citrus salad also perks up appetite with its sourish and sweet aftertaste. A truly divine treat indeed.

It was my first time being in a foreign gastronomic festival. Very interesting I must say, to be able to taste how Venezuelan cuisine will be like. Visually, it was not as flattering but it was unusual. The smell of plantain sticked in your tongue. A tinge of sourish, faint but enough to tease.

The main was so much more colorful than the soup. It was a combination of sweet and salty dish. The mildness of plantain complemented and enhanced the mixtures of spices and flavor in the stingray meat. Again, the familiar taste of Dahl. I was intrigued to the max.

This was something new. I have tried soursop lassi but never have I heard of soursop cake. Perfect combination of sweetness and sour, but nothing mysterious, nothing complex. Small enough to sweeten up the night but not too much to spoil the beautiful mains and soup we just had.
