This is surely one of the best hang out place for me. I spent plenty of my time here, blogging, enjoying the view and food. Mr Pot Cafe is located along Penang’s famous Gurney Drive. And to be precise, it is right smack in the middle of Gurney Drive, just next to the prestigious Silverton Condo. Great sea-front view overlooking the mainland. In the daytime you get plenty of sunshine and sea breeze. And on a clear night, the moon and the stars hoover above you. What else could you ask for?

Tell you what else! They served the best coffee in town with a very reasonable price, anything from RM2.60 to RM4.20 depending on your choice. Try it, if you are not happy, it will be on me. I usually go for the ‘kopi’ - strong and not too sweet, either hot or iced! Beats Starbucks or Coffee Beans anytime - in taste and value for money.

And if you feel like a having breakfast there are plenty of choices, from French Toast with Kaya to Ham sandwich to the good old Garlic Bread. Or simply have the soft boiled eggs with just plain toast. And if you prefer the heavier local breadfast, go for Fish or Chicken porridge or the famous Penang Nasi lemak. And of course there are plenty more from the menu to choose from.

For lunch or dinner they served local favourites to western delights. Try the Nasi Lemak Rendang Chicken or the Singapore Beehoon. And from some feedbacks from friends, the Laksa is just great too. If you prefer western food - I recommend Linguini Olio Vongole or Cajun Chicken. Prices are very reasonable, ranging from RM7.80 to RM12.80. And you get a good portion of it too.

And how about some snacks for weight-watchers? Curry chicken with rice, Jolly Bee (homemade) chicken burger or Chicken Spaghetti. And that’s for weight-watchers - hehehe!!!

Thirsty? No problem. Plenty of fruit juices and iced-blended drinks with names like - Kiss of the Dragon (fresh dragon fruit with sweet dates), Mocha Banana, Strawberry Fizz (yummy!) and the list goes on.

Mr Tan, the owner is usually there - always with his cheerful smile acknowledging the customers. And he seems to know many of the customers by names. Many expatriates frequent this place too. Mr Tan will come around to ask you whether the wifi connection is good and make sure the fan blowing on you.  Besides Mr Tan, Joanne, Yao and the friendly staff are always there with a big smile, ready to serve you.

 Really a great place to hang out and relax. Great view, great coffee, good food and drinks. Great taste. Clean and friendly environment and prices are reasonable (and no service charge, so remember to leave a good tip!) Good wifi connection. Great place to surf. And great team of friendly service staff. It’s all there at Mr Pot Cafe. Everything is just GREAT, lah!!! Everything you want, you got it. Truly Penang! “Ho Liow!”
