Timbre+

I wanted to see what's the hype all about these days at Timbre+- the new container dining concept at One-North. Hence, me and pigg decided to check it out. 

As soon as we reached the place, my anticipation dropped by half as it was so crowded (being a Saturday and dinner time somemore) but lucky for us, we got ourselves seats easier than big groups. We got a high table seating at Portico Plates, the corner of Timbre+ where it's not as hot and crowded, where I enjoyed their truffle fries.

Yummy, though quite overpriced, $12. But the lightly salted grated cheese and truffle oil infused fries makes a great combination.

I also tried their signature seafood paella, luncheon portion which is like half of the full portion. It costs $9 and the full portion cost $16 but I'm glad that I ordered the smaller portions as it's just nice for me. Though the rice is not a lot, the servings for the seafood is indeed generous.

Pigg with his major love for beef, ordered cheeseburger which costs $12 but he enjoyed it a lot since the patty is juicy while the buns is soft which crunchy vegetables.

Hahas camera eat first!

All in all, I feel that Timbre+ will be a one-off experience for me, queues for food is way too long, especially for Two Wings which I did not get to try. I tried queuing but I gave up after seeing the long queue. We were expecting the live music at 6plus but it did not start until 8 and we were about to finish our meals by then.

The tray return system is a little atrocious as they charge people a $1 deposit for the tray and upon returning the trays, we could get the dollar back. However, only 2/4 tray returning conveyor belt were functioning and there was even a queue to just to return your trays to get the dollar back. Supposedly, once your tray is returned, the machine will dispense a dollar, but if your tray missed the sensor, you will be like Pigg, who did not get his dollar back.
