Chipta11A Curated Dining is the sort of quiet, unassuming spot that is best described as a “hidden gem. Tucked away on a first floor shoplot in Petaling Jaya, the eatery is dotted with foliage, including a tiny space at the back which hosts a micro-herb garden of sorts. A minimalist, Nordic palette completes this tranquil, Zen space to perfection.

At the centre of the eatery is a show kitchen set around a bar table where guests get front row seats to the careful, intricate work that goes into Sabah-born chef Jack Weldie’s curated Japanese omakase menus.
