My opinion:

Smilers' Hut probably mean "stall of polite and smiling owners". This coffee shop stall sells traditional Singapore Chinese noodles and pancakes. For this food review, my mother and I have tried their wanton noodles for lunch

We were given 3 steamed wantons, 5 char siew sices and huge amount of noodles. Steamed wantons were big but awkward tasting. In fact, they tasted almost like siew mais! Char siew slices were average tasting, dry and thin. Although the noodles were silky and springy, they were dry, tasteless and devoid of noodle sauce.

In a nutshell, the food here was cheap, average tasting and had considerable flaws that prevented us from visiting them in the near future.

Ways for the owners to improve their food ratings:

First, thoroughly review the wantons' preparation process. Second, add more char siew to the food. Third, solve the food's dryness problem by including more noodle sauce.
