Here’s some hot omakase spots in Malaysia that have gotten a Michelin nod. Omakase, which translates to “I leave the details up to you”, is a popular chef-curated dinner experience that’s becoming increasingly popular in Kuala Lumpur. While the city is brimming with omakase restaurants, how do you identify the creme de la creme? We’ll take you through some of the best Michelin-selected omakase experiences for your next dining adventure.

Hermès Birkin

Born from a chance encounter in 1984, the Hermès Birkin has long secured its place as a timeless treasure. Crafted from the finest leathers by Hermès artisans, each Birkin takes days to complete, making it not just a fashion statement but a testament to heritage and quality. With its clean lines, functional compartments, and ever-expanding range of colours and materials, the Birkin remains an object of desire for luxury aficionados worldwide.

Chanel Flap Bag

In 1955, Coco Chanel freed women from the constraints of clutches with the ingenious Chanel Flap Bag. The rectangular silhouette, adorned with a signature chain strap and quilted pattern, offered both style and practicality. Through decades, the Classic Flap has remained remarkably unchanged yet loved by many. Available in a vast array of colours and materials, it continues to be a cornerstone of the Chanel brand and a coveted symbol of elegance and luxury.

Dior Lady

Named after Princess Diana, the Lady Dior is a revered fashion icon that has become synonymous with understated luxury. Its instantly recognisable features like the iconic Cannage stitching and delicate Lady Dior charms exude a sophisticated femininity. Offered in a variety of sizes and colours, the Lady Dior remains a versatile and enduring symbol of Dior's heritage and savoir-faire.

Fendi Baguette

The Baguette was inspired by the way Parisian women carried their bread, ushering in a new era of shoulder bags meant to be cradled comfortably under the arm. From classic leathers to bold furs and seasonal prints, the Baguette was made for every personality. Even Carrie Bradshaw's iconic declaration, "It's not a bag, it's a Baguette!", cemented its status as a pop culture phenomenon and a timeless symbol of Fendi's fashion-forward spirit.

Bottega Veneta Andiamo

It’s impossible to miss Bottega Veneta's signature Intrecciato leather when you see it. The meticulously woven technique lends the brand’s pieces an understated elegance that resonates with its legacy of quiet luxury. The Andiamo’s spacious interior and simple silhouette make it a versatile choice for everyday use, while the brand's signature craftsmanship ensures it will age beautifully. Despite being introduced just last year, the bag's combination of practicality and timeless aesthetics positions it as a potential future classic.
