Kuala Lumpur has its fair share of hipster and not-so hipster cafes popping up in almost every corner of the city.

Sounds quirky enough for you? Here are some of the best container cafes you absolutely must visit.

Nu Sentral is located at KL Sentral, the city’s main transport hub. The mall is home to this bright crimson container themed cafe which makes a great pit stop for weary travellers after a long day of commuting. Stay here and order a cuppa to go with the assorted pastries and cakes available here.

Chaiwalla & Co at The Curve
One of the pioneers in the container concept cafe, Chaiwalla opened its doors in 2013 and hasn’t looked back since.
