Jemin Travels

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.
