We visited MetalCube 1008 Cafe & Bistro, being the first container cafe in Kepong Menjalara. It was indeed eye catching of converted cargo containers which was placed at the corner end. The staff is preparing the food inside in this small open concept kitchen.
The entrance was welcoming with entirely DIY decoration and interior designed by the owner himself . He is very enthusiastic about food and introduced us few of the varieties Western food here.
