Anything extra ordinary will make a customer happy, special and into thinking

As to some of you already know, I started a small cafe in our place. This is my venue to study, experiment, discover my market and meet new interesting people in the neighborhood.

We are in front of a supermarket, thus my first few guests are those working there. Here are some priceless reactions I got.

Guest 1 ordered coffee costs 12 pesos. I place it in a nice transparent coffee mug with a tiny free cookie. The guest's face beamed looking at the glass mug and inquired: "Ate libre ba tung biskwit?" I smiled and said yes. He said, "Wow! Swerte at ang sosyal ko ha".

Guest 2 ordered one laing (Taro leaves cooked in coconut oil). No drinks. And so I served his food and gave him a glass of free mineral water with mint leaves. He inquired "Ah eh, ma'am what are these (pointing to the mint leaves)? And so I answered him with a smile. And he said: "me ganun pala"

And there are more wonderful reaction and comments! That warmth, welcoming and appreciations from guests inspired me more to dream BIG and make Filipino fine dining a reality soon!
