Here it is people; my very first local
hipster café visit! Gosh I sound old when I say that. Granted, there aren’t
that many hipster café being opened here in good old Tawau before (until very
recently when they made their sudden appearances all over). I did a little
digging (via Google of course) and found out that it implies ‘trendy cafes
which are deemed a favourite hangout for youngsters’. Well… okay then… Shall we
move on to the actual café yes?
So the Container Café is exactly what you
would’ve expected a hipster café should be. They’d ticked all the boxes; a unique
place (it’s located at the back side of
Taman Emas (near Fujimart)’s single row shops – and with plenty of selfie
potentials to boot), signature concept (the
place was partly made from industrial containers – hence the name), western
food (as of now, the choices of food
might be a bit limited) and coffee (well
duh!). If I’m not mistaken, the café had just opened its doors for all
sometime last month so it is forgivable for them to still be tweaking their
food here and there. Because when we’d ordered their Spaghetti Bolognese and Black
pepper Chicken Chop, it was not up to par (yet). The former’s meatballs were a
bit chewy and had a strong beefy smell while the latter’s sauce was a bit
tasteless (but I do appreciate the fact that they did their own mash potatoes,
even though it was very bland). But I absolutely loved their Chocolate Waffle,
as it was crispy without being too hard or bitter (just nicely done) with a
good spread of Nutella on top of them, plus a tasty scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
I also like their orange juice (they did not add any sugar, just 100% original
juice so it was sour as hell – my kind of juice indeed!).
Before patronizing however, I do advise you
guys to check out their FB page first, as they’re still in semi-renovation mode
from time to time, and to check out for their off days. Also, do be extra
careful while parking as the back alley (it’s unavoidable since the café is located
at the back side of the shops) since it can be extra dark at night.
