As the city lights twinkle and the festive spirit fills the air, COPAA KL, the discreet culinary gem nestled in the heart of Desa Sri Hartamas, marks a significant milestone this season. Celebrating three years of redefining modern dining, COPAA invites you to experience a Christmas celebration like no other. Spearheaded by owner and culinary curator Jon Chew, this limited-edition Sharing Course Menu is a bold, flavour-driven journey that reimagines holiday dining through a lens of sophisticated, modern fusion.

Born and raised in Penang and a former fitness industry professional, Jon Chew, brings a unique philosophy to the table. After years with Les Mills Asia Pacific, crafting global workout programs and running his own gym, he has channelled the same discipline, creativity, and pursuit of excellence into COPAA. Every dish on this menu is a product of his direct research and development, reflecting a personal journey from sculpting bodies to crafting exquisite flavour experiences.

“After three incredible years, our approach is more refined than ever,” says Jon Chew. “COPAA was built on the idea of connection—through food, through shared plates, through conversation. This Christmas menu is a celebration of that core belief. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned and poured it into creating a feast that’s not just a meal, but a memorable experience.”

The Feast: A Story in Six Acts

Priced at RM169 per person (minimum 2 persons), the menu is a theatrical exploration of texture, umami, and festive warmth:

• The Prelude: A vibrant dance of Kale, Sweet Basil, and Pomelo, punctuated with the luxurious pop of Tomato Caviar and Dry Scallops, all brought together with a tantalizing Spicy Plum Dressing.
• The Comfort: Decadence takes centre stage with Unagi draped over creamy Scrambled Duck Egg and Seaweed, finished with a glossy, sweet Teriyaki glaze.
• Showstopper: Succulent Tiger Prawns are elevated with crispy Garlic Chips, aromatic Prawn Oil, and a fiery Prawn Paste Sambal, served with freshly baked Focaccia for the ultimate flavour scoop.
• The Main Event (A Choice to Share): Diners are presented with a trio of exquisite choices: 
  • Pan-Fried Snapper, marinated and served with a bold Asam Jawa and Sambal Ikan Bilis.
  • Half Aged Chicken, accompanied by rich Burnt French Onion and Homemade Cranberry Sauce.
  • Sirloin Steak, prepared with a savoury glaze of Kicap, Shallots, and Scallions.
• The Grand Finale: The savoury journey culminates in a bowl of pure umami bliss—Crab Meat and Dried Scallop Ramen, perfumed with Crab Oil and topped with Crispy Shallots.
• The Sweet Ending: The feast concludes with a playful local twist on a classic dessert: Kaya Tiramisu, a sublime fusion that promises to be the talk of the season.

Accessible Excellence, Year-Round

Beyond this special festive creation, COPAA remains dedicated to delivering its signature innovative dining experience at an accessible price point every day. The restaurant’s acclaimed regular à la carte menu, featuring a selection of curated sharing plates, is available starting from RM69. This offering underscores COPAA’s core philosophy that sophisticated, chef-driven fusion cuisine should be an attainable luxury for all food enthusiasts.

“Our mission has always been twofold,” adds Jon Chew. “To create exceptional, special occasion menus that push boundaries, and to provide a consistently outstanding everyday dining experience. The RM69 menu is a testament to our commitment to value and creativity, allowing guests to enjoy the COPAA journey any day of the week.”

More Than a Meal, It’s an Experience

Housed at 38-1, Jalan 24/70a, Desa Sri Hartamas, COPAA provides an intimate and chic backdrop for this festive culinary theatre. The sharing concept is at the heart of the three-year-old establishment, designed to foster connection and conversation—the true essence of the holiday season.

“Transitioning from fitness to food might seem unexpected, but both are about crafting experiences that elevate and delight,” reflects Jon Chew. “For this special anniversary Christmas menu, I wanted every bite to tell a story—our story. It’s about bold, memorable flavours that spark joy and are meant to be shared. This isn’t just a seasonal special; it’s a thank you to Kuala Lumpur for an amazing three years.”

This culinary preview is available for a limited time throughout the festive season. Bookings are highly recommended to secure a seat at this unforgettable festive table. Guests can also continue to enjoy COPAA’s renowned regular menu outside of the festive period.
