Thyme Rochester - Singapore

Had some lunch here. The Malabar fish curry differs from the Indian fish curry and I actually like it. The duck confit taste really good, but I think the sauce should not be on the crispy skin. We also had a pig egg benedict on toast and fresh honey sow juice. The lava mousse was rich, which ended lunch.

Here on Entertainer's recommendation. Beautiful quiet location with convenient parking behind the Multistorey HDB parking. Nice to support a small company that runs it with friendly staff, good ingredients and honest prices. For example, their shrimps were cleaned from their veins.

Understaff. Slow serving. Never clean up the table or fill up the water. With this price, food could be better. Duck Confit is as small and dry as hunger has swung through France so that the duck is so thin. Lava cake is more like a chocolate moose. Only pasta and burgers could be worth the price. Boiled Broccoli and carrot for children took forever to come. And for the Entertainer apps users, note the loop hole. Children's meal is considered the cheapest in the menu.

There was Valentine's Day. The ambience was excellent (fairy lights and outdoors setting). You need to walk a few minutes if you don't drive. It was surprised to know that this day no a-la-carte menu was available. Just the Valentine's Day menu. Nevertheless, we took it. However, waitress came back to tell us that some of the main thing was not available. Without a choice we chose another main. Prosecco and lures mushroom soup with truffle oil with tomatoes and salmon Bruschetta. Food quality was good and promising. But we waited more than 30 minutes before the net. We ordered Roast Beef with Veg and Yorkshire pudding in red wine sauce and Lamb Chops Greek style. Meat was very hard and we fight to chew. Chew a few slices and serve for desserts. Kellner again mentioned that the article was not available in the menu and served another dessert (Chocolate Cake and Ice Cream), which was not the best but decent. Although the staff friendly and regularly asked how was the food, felt that there was plenty of space for improvements. A nice gesture was that all couples were given a free stick of red rose.

Nice place tucked in a secluded corner, has a small play area for kids as well. Food was okay at best, tried their signature beef cheek and find it too salty for my liking. Wasn't impressed with the desserts at all.
