Chipta 11a, located in the heart of Sea Park, Petaling Jaya, is redefining the Japanese-fusion dining experience in Malaysia. Led by Chef Jack Weldie, this intimate restaurant is celebrated for its ever-evolving seasonal menus, bold ingredient pairings, and local Malaysian influence woven into traditional Japanese techniques.
A Culinary Playground of Japanese-Malaysian Fusion
Unlike conventional omakase-style dining, Chipta 11a focuses on experimental Japanese-fusion cuisine with a Malaysian soul. The curated tasting menus are designed to surprise, provoke, and delight—no two dining experiences are ever the same.
Expect unexpected flavor marriages such as fermented tuhau from Sabah with blue mackerel, barramundi dressed in curry leaf-spiced chili paste, and umami-rich egg yolk over marbled Australian Wagyu.
Highlights from the Seasonal Tasting Menu
Chipta 11a’s Curated Dining Set (~RM280–RM300 per person) is a gastronomic journey that celebrates both Japanese precision and Malaysian terroir:
- Starters: Salmon shirako with wasabi vinaigrette, pickled kanpyo
- Sashimi/Nigiri: Aged shima aji, uni, langoustine ebi, aburi hamaguri, ootoro, and tai with lime
- Mains: M6 Wagyu with organic egg yolk, curry-leaf barramundi, 12-day aged duck
- Signature Bowl: “No-Name Bowl” – assam-jawa rice topped with uni, engawa, ikura, crab floss, and more
- Dessert: Inventive creations like mango-papaya-persimmon sorbet or carrot cake with cucumber ice cream
Every course reflects Chipta’s culinary ethos: local, seasonal, fearless.
