Timbre? Disappointment

Me and boy exhausted and tired after whole day of work, so whats better than home?
I wanted to give boy a surprise by ordering his favourite pizza from timbre but because of lack of cash had to ask him to help in deciding.

This service is actually by Hungrygowhere. Simply enter your postal code to let the website calculate your delivery charge based on distance away from the desired restaurant. There is quite a range of restaurants for you to choose from.

Delivery charge for us is the 2nd most expensive range of $8.50. But compared to taking cab, this is quite worthy. A $5 surcharge is applicable for orders under $40 (exclude delivery charges), so we ying ying also wan to hit $40.

We ordered a pizza! Chose the half half pizza because its $2 more expensive, and can hit our $40! We had half roasted garlic shrimp and the other half spicy Cajun chicken and basil.


This is goodness. But more than half is for the prawn, i like the chicken more!
The pizza crust is good, not too soft for my ah ma teeth. The dough tasted a little sweet, and is perfect with all the wonderful ingredients. The chicken is breast meat, not oily at all.

Next up is the all time favourits, Buffalo wings..... at $8.60 you get 5 pieces, and because its 2 jointed, meaning 10 pieces..... The sauce was delivered seperately so that it wouldn't be mushy...


A pity is the extra thick batter. The buffalo wings served at timbre doesn't taste like this. But the strong tumeric smell of the wings is still good.


My complain: Hot and spicy seafood platter for $12.90.
The portion was small till beyond imagination. 3 medium size prawns, 2 mussles, about 5 sotong rings. The hot and spicy sauce is merely the same sauce as the buffalo wings fried with some garlic. Superbly cheated.


Auntie note: You don't have to pay 10% service charge for delivery.

The famous? Think again.

The very much oomphed over hell spicy wings that is in the most secluded area of Singapore.


Yes, we found this place after getting lost in some air base area only to realise the restaurant is even more secluded. We followed some small yellow sign board in order to come this far.




We ordered level 2 cos some of my friends don't really take spicy food. level 2 is definitely tolerable i should say, the spice level is similar to normal dry ba chor mee chilli. However, what i felt lacking was the marinate of the chicken. Perhaps the restaurant can't cope with the large number of chicken wings they had to process each day and thus the chicken wings weren't really tasting well marinated at all. It had to depend on the chilli taste which was unable to deliver the full potential of bringing out the juicy chicken wings. Great disappointment. Half a dozen cost $18.50 and a dozen cost 29.50, the higher the level the more expensive it will be. I will rate this 2.4 out of 5.




We ordered our mains as well. This was boy's order. Pan fried fish $16.50


The small little piece of fish barely fills the stomach. It was topped with almonds which wasnt crispy, so what's the point? The side dishes weren't served with much sincerity as it doesn' look appetizing at all. 3 out of 5.


This is to share, BBQ combo with half a chicken, and half rack of pork ribs. Sky high price $29.80


The chicken was normal, not extremely delicious. Barely succenlent and not finger licking good. The pork ribs had a porky smell perhaps it was kept frozen for too long. Not fresh. The whole dish had to be finished off with the help of Mr Chilli Sauce. Thanks for the great invention. 2.8 out of 5



This is the best order for the day will be the deep fried button mushroom. I forgot the price thou but remembered it was expensive. Nearly a dollar for 1 mushroom if u divide it. Served pipping hot and filled with juicy mushroom that oozes when bitten. The batter used was well seasoned and it didn't cover the natuaral taste of the mushroom. It was slightly oily but i guess it is unavoidable. rate this 4.2 out of 5.




Auntie note: prices shown on the menu is inclusive of all taxes and there's no service charge. But even so, the prices are definitely over priced.



The overall ambience of the place isn't very much decorated. open air but u have to sit on kopitiam chair and table like as thou eating tze char. mosquito coil was placed on some of the tables and weren't warned of its presence. The toilet was filthy and the flush and lock were not working well, had to ask a fren to guard the door for me.


Totally had a bad experience dinning there.
