Smart n Save Cafe

Egg Sandwich 4/5 $3 4/5 - Soft sliced white bread but they were not toasted (at least they didn't ask me if I want them toasted.)  Can I also have the option to add cheese please?  The egg wasn't as thick as what was shown on their Facebook.  I would say they used 1.5 eggs instead.  I thought it says $5 with a hot milk tea but they charged me the original price.  (Still haven't learned the check the bill!)  Not sure if it was a take out.
Hot Milk Tea $2.5 3.5/5 - the tea is a little bitter and less evaporated milk than what I like.


Mozzarella Deep Fried Shrimp Ball $4.5 4.5/5 - I really liked this.  Melting cheese in a shrimp ball.  It's also a little pricy for 1 piece at $4.5.  Can you get them frozen so that I can make them at home?
Fake Shark's Fin Soup $3 3/5 - too thick/gluey with too much cornstarch.  It didn't come with any vinegar, pepper, or sesame oil.  I thought they are must haves for the soup.  Luckily I could find some, otherwise it was bland.  I could Chinese mushrooms and shredded pork in it.  It was only 1/2 filled too.
Iced Lemon Tea $3 4/5 - It didn't come with any sliced lemon but you could definitely taste the lemon in the tea.  This is good because the sliced lemon will make the drink taste bitter.


pretty good for a new small business but some advice:
-food is definitely good but in a bad location.  I'm sure they will have more business if it is located in the Aberdeen food court of something.  I hope they can stay in business.
-they posted their daily lunch menu on their fb page without saying what time it's being served.  Is it an all-day lunch?  They just have one lunch special per day which is smart but adding some more choices would be better if they have enough business.
-They also need to post a copy of the menu on Facebook.
-He told my food will be ready in 10 minutes.  It wasn't ready and I had to wait for another 10 minutes.  So I had a little chat with one of the people working there.  He said it's pretty quiet after lunch time so they might need to do something to attract business.
-Afternoon tea hours is 2:30-5pm.  Maybe extending it to 5:30pm may help.  It closes at 6pm.
-Since they are the same owner with the Smart N Save Grocery Store in Landsdowne.  They can provide some discount if you come after shopping or something.  I'm sure some people will drop by if you promote that at the Grocery store.
-There are more seats than enough so far.  Part of the area could be used as a mini grocery store.  People working in the area can drop by to grab some biscuits, candies, chips, instant noodles, and etc.  There is nothing like this in the area yet (with T&T coming soon).
