Mr Pot @ Gurney Drive

It started off as nice hangout until they got ambitious and opened a branch in Upper penang road which has since closed down.
The entire outlet is in dire need of a good scrubbing.
The cushioned rattan chairs are meant for human skin stick to them like super glue because when you dislodge yourself from the furniture you help the semi comatose and highly overworked or overbored staff perform some silent gotong royong clean up campaign.

Most patrons still hangout here for the beer,the wifi and the view.
Some perhaps are on a death wish hoping for lead poisoning due to consumption of pollution laden dishes to take toll and mercifully kill them in their sleep.
Come to think of it,this could be the reason why they have semi comatose staff.
For me the only plus is the very attentive and freshest looking guy that oversees the operations.
Later in the night some burnt out looking chap that looks like he really needs a good bath(or an intensive hydro detoxification process) will order this earlier chap around from the comfort of his chair.
I presume it is the owner.His bloodshot eyes scared the crap out of me.
Food is not bad on the whole but how to enjoy in this kind of kitchen grease/roadside dust and exhaust pipe effluents smorgasboard of such itchyfying conditions?
