Ideal for this Instagram age, Chaiwalla & Co could be the Klang Valley's first "container cafe" _ an eye-catching construct of converted cargo containers, plopped into The Curve & unwrapped this Christmas week. If the name sounds familiar, it might be because Chaiwalla originally launched in Johor Baru earlier this year, reportedly conceived by two Malaysian childhood friends, one a former seafarer. 'Honest tea' is Chaiwalla's catchphrase, though 'hipster tea' seems equally apt; customers can choose a beverage base of tea, milk tea, coffee or fresh milk, add flavors (caramel, winter melon, vanilla & more) & fillings (including basil seeds & nata de coco), plus select a sweetness level. Saffron-&-rose-flavored milk tea with yogurt pops & zero added sugar (RM5.80 nett). Enjoyably mild-tasting, without the curse of cloying artifice, & sufficiently thick, though filled with a bit more ice than expected. Coffee with honey & coffee jelly. Ultimately satisfying for a refreshment on a hot afternoon; worth the price. Service is fast & fairly friendly. Pastries & brownies are also available; expect to see more photos of Chaiwalla pepper KL's social media networks for months to come. Need more drinks? Coffea Coffee has opened its latest branch at The Curve too, adding to its outlets at Bangsar, Sunway Pyramid & Subang. Note: Chaiwalla is on The Curve's relatively placid end, outside RadioShack & Borders; Coffea is amid the restaurant-packed Piazza zone.

ISBN 978-84-15829-31-7 / Layout: 22 X 24 cm / Pages: 112 / Cover: Softcover / Living in a container is becoming something less original and increasingly necessary due to the lack of construction land. This kind of architecture encapsulates a complete life philosophy. It's essentially how to pay less for occupy-ing the same space and make housing more accessible always respecting environmental criteria. Here you will find a selection of the latest creations with 'cargo boxes' designed by architect studios worldwide, starting from a small room for guests, to a residential complex and even shelters, shops and apartment buildings. Given the success of building at such a low cost, many people opt for modular homes, whether in a big city like São Paulo or uninhabited places like Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
