First container-concept café was introduced
on 8 December 2012 in Johor Bahru. Located nearby Jalan Hiok Nee, JB, this place
has their kiosk literally located in a container. Chaiwalla & Co. Container
Café is exquisitely revamped to look like a vintage modern space for people to
grab a drink and chill. Until today, they already have two outlets in Johor
Bahru and one in Damansara. Mr. Nazrul Hakim Putra is the founder of Chaiwalla
& Co and he had been a sailor for 13 years. That is probably the reason behind
his business concept.
For now, their main focus is beverages such
as Vietnamese coffee, Thai milk tea, and chrysanthemum tea. Using only fresh
milk and halal pearl jellies, this café chose the perfect tagline to go with
their selection of drinks – “Honest Tea”. Here at Chaiwalla & Co, patrons
can customize their own drinks by selecting the size, base (tea, milk tea,
coffee, fresh milk and smoothies), flavour (caramel, winter melon, strawberry,
vanilla and etc), toppings (ice cream, nata de coco, pearls and etc), and
lastly the level of sweetness. Small portions are also available for the little
ones.
For first trial, we suggest you to try their Chaiwalla & Co Large Original Thai Milk Tea with Pearls. As their signature drink, this one is super refreshing on a sunny day and the flavour is just at the right proportion. The pearls are also chewier and softer compared to other regular pearls used by famous cafés. Apart from beverages, they are also offering a few selection of light munchies such as pies and brownies. With a fresh concept and tasty drinks, we can say that this place will probably stay in this industry for quite some time.
