To get a different perspective on Sunway Mentari, Bandar Sunway and the vicinity, head up to Atap Rooftop Cafe, it is perched atop the Alif restaurant and on level 3A, accessible by elevator/lift….
Step out of the lift and you might feel like you have stepped into some Korean rooftop drama scenery…
The Atap Rooftop Cafe is an ideal place to escape street-level chaos, unwind and ‘lepak’ or hangout with your friends… and enjoy some great views here…and yes.. the sunset view is pretty breathtaking and the rooftop is balmy and pretty breezy..
Yours truly here was lucky to be one of the few who were the first to check it out and have a little “open house” celebration with the Influenzas team…
The Atap Rooftop Cafe is the brainchild of two buddies… the handsome young Youtuber and actor (Pontimau,Coffee Prince, Sepasang Awan Putih *coming soon*) Sean Lee and his good friend Hatta…
What makes the Atap Rooftop Cafe special is that it is about 70% made and designed with recycled items… all lovingly created by Sean and Hatta…
You can find a hollowed out van there, signages, planks, an old door all made into tables… a lost trolley which has been turned into a chair, iron bars melded together to make benches, etc, etc…
Even the door and the side wall of the elevator has been wallpapered tastefully with magazine pages etc and called the Wall of Funny Stories…
There is a hammock to chill in and laze the evening away, as you gaze out towards the bustling Bandar Sunway/Sunway City or you can… or sit closer to the glass windows and be fascinated by the AOXM (Art of Extreme Movement) workout area downstairs which is also owned by Sean and Hatta, as participants pit their skills against each other doing parkour, stunts, crossfit, gymnastics, somersaults etc on the soft foam area…
Atap Rooftop Cafe serves up some tasty snacks such as keropok lekor cheese, kebab halal snack pack, chilli cheese fries, nacho cheese and there are more menu coming up soon.. Check out the menu…
The cafe is opened from 5pm to about 12 am…
Do check it out if you are looking for a nice cosy and hipster place to hang out at… Parking is available and it is also within walking distance from Sunway Mentari BRT Station…
