Nice place and great environment here! Big plate with a large quantity of food! To order, you must scan the QR code and pay. After that, they will serve your food to your table. Not so long to wait. Just for Nasi Lemak Ikan Siakap take a few minutes to get. If you do not have a smart phone or digital device, they also provide a self-service kiosk just like Mcdonald that guide by staff. Overall, service was good, and the food was average. And the public toilet is far from the restaurant and also terrible!

Carbonara dia sedap betul. Bolognese dia a bit sour, but it’s nice. We orderd bolognese lamb, chicken chop and fish and chips. Semua sedap, rasa dia cukup, tak too salty. Paling sedap is their carbonara. We orderd choc chip magnum frappe, a little sweet to my taste. Price wise is mid-range to me

Fish & chips should be serve with lemon tartare sauce.... Not black pepper sauce. Requested.. but not available. Sad! Satay and mee bandung memang sedaplah.. love the seafood aglio olio highly recommended.

Open air fusion cafe, nice atmosphere and lighting. There's a deck on top of the container for seats with elevated views. There are large umbrellas and clear tents in case it rains. Parking is free and just a few steps away where you can see your car. Food and drinks are OK for the price - lamb chop and iced cappuccino costs RM17. 90

Cumi Kontena is situated right opposite Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah. The food here is good, very nice plating and food presentation. The food taste great, not too salty or drymouth after eating. They serve northern,Asian, western, pasta and some light menu. Basic drinks and special drinks are available. This place serve HALAL food. It’s open air, with car park and car wash service on its right. Chef recommendations: chicken grill berasap is a must try. To my personal experience, the staff here are very considerate and friendly. When they are serving me hot plate, they place it abit further as I’m wearing a white office clothes to prevent the splash of boiling gravy onto my shirt. 5 star for your service. Prices are as in the menu, and it very reasonable. Highly recommended:)

Nice place, we can order via the interactive panel or scan the QR code on the table. We are not ready to order, so we use the QR code. We forgot to pay first and the staff was nice enough to remind us. If we don't pay first, the kitche will not prepare our order. The foods ar3 ok. Tasty and match the price. They were generous with portio and prawns. Mee Bandung tulang also tasty, not too sweet.
