Mr. Pot Cafe at Gurney Drive

Last Sunday, I wanted to bring my parents to Kenribbean for set lunch because I heard it's cheap (RM10 nett)! Unfortunately, it wasn't opened. So, I was driving around the area feeling seriously hungry when I chanced upon Mr. Pot. There was a good crowd there, so the food should be okay right? Besides, I spotted a nice shady parking space right across the street ... so Mr. Pot it shall be.

Environment-wise, it was relaxing and casual. But I could see that this place mostly caters to a more ... how to put this ... "upper class" crowd. When I saw the menu and its prices, I got the confirmation. Yup. My dad had normal fried rice (RM7), My mom and I had set - food + drinks. Hers was nasi lemak + cucumber and mint juice (RM13.80). I had fried beef koay teow + red dragon fruit juice (RM14). Taste-wise, edible but not great. The bill came up to RM40! Yup, it's definately for "upper class" crowd.


The environment - sidewalk cafe style

Dragonfruit juice - nice, but predictable

Cucumber and mint juice - this is interesting. It will be nicer if the mint is "younger"

Fried rice - very good. The price is a setback, though

Fried beef koay teow - why did I order this again?

Nasi lemak - not bad, but again, not worth the price

I might go there again ... if there aren't any other cafes open in that area, and I'm dying of starvation.
