According to Lyn Bong, business at the cafe has slowed in recent years, particularly during dinner hours, though lunch crowds remain steady.
Rent is a key consideration. The Far East Plaza spot, which comprises two shop units, costs just under S$10,000 a month, while the stall at Ang Mo Kio is about 30 per cent lower.
Eve and Lyn own a small chain of hair salons called Empire Charme, and first ran a now-defunct hair salon at Far East Plaza. No surprise they were regular customers at Greenview Cafe before they bought it for S$60,000.
