Loke Sok Seafood @ Gurney Drive (morn till lunch)

The bespectacled lady order taker has a short fuse.If you dilly dally a bit longer she might chuck the menu in your face or abandon you.
This is where the ditzy looking curly haired bright red lipstick pony tailed old broad takes over.
Don't get me wrong,but she is terribly nice,full of smiles and accommodating unlike the earlier Miss PMS.People like her make me smile and fill my heart with warmth again.

The patrons are something else.This is an old timer hangout where groups of ancient walkers or jurassic joggers at Gurney Drive pop in to load back on the calories they just burnt off.To make the guilt lesser they drink chinese tea.
When you,the young blood step in,they either stare or look like they are snooty english diners having their tete de tete so why are you encroaching on their sacred territory.
When it comes to lunch time,some days you get to see some old over the top Phua Chu Kang type of contractors with Lolexes wolfing down their chow but not before they give you the sly up and down look as if you are the answer to their prayers come down from heaven that they have been waiting for all of their boring 50 over year old lifespan.
Returning to the subject of food,this is where I had the most TERRIBULUS sang yee mee I ever ate other than at Station One(komtar) and Food & Tea Garden(gurney plaza).It feels like chewing tasteless knitting yarn that was fished out from the sea.
I just don't understand why they suck at this dish when they are reknowned for other dishes.
