Third Floor @ JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur


Third Floor's heyday seems to have passed; this place was once brimming with diners, but it was practically deserted on a recent weekday evening.


Thankfully, the food and the service remain top-notch, showcasing "contemporary cuisine" with remarkably international flavours.


Warm, light cheese tarts were the ideal appetite-whetter.


Salmon confit. Not quite as incredible as Frangipani's version, but still more than satisfactory. Every bite was a melt-in-the-mouth delight.


Foie gras torchon with toasted brioche. Another visual treat. Also tasted terrific; the liver was smooth, creamy and sweetly aromatic.


Australian Wagyu beef cheeks with Sarawak pepper & shallot red wine sauce. Can't go wrong with a luscious recipe like this.


Chestnut & truffle-scented creme brulee. Subtly flavoured, but very satisfying; there are few better variations of this recipe in town.


Bordeaux White: Chateau Timberlay - Cuvee Prestige.
