Sadly, some of the "food trucks" don't live up to the hype, so we get so called gourmet food tasting worse than fast food.
not all the places, but this one particular stall. need to be taught how to at a minimum defrost and cook meat.

A different dining experience in the day time and the night time. In the day time, there are hawker stalls which serve local delights at affordable prices. You can get a large cup of iced Teh Tarik at only $1.20. At night, the hawker stalls are closed but you get a live band and pub-like atmosphere. Dining options such as western and Japanese food are available both in the day and night time.

Newly renovated place. Nice ambience with all food joints serving out of trailers. Nice eating and drinking options around. Surely more pricey than the food court in the vicinity of Galaxis building, however this a good spot for Friday night drinks with office colleagues.
Variety of foods from Indian, Chinese to even French options.
I recommend this Indian joint called Chit Chaat Chai - you'll get Desi Snacks like Papdi Chaat, Bhel Puri etc. Their lunch and dinner options are good too. Surprisingly good quality - the eatery has an A Rating by NEA.

Atas food court, the traditional food stalls close about 6pm, then all the western or atas stall will start opening up. Surprise to find my favorite apple cider there. Plenty of choices for food but it is not a everyday food court you can go to. Can be very costly meal.

First time at Timbre+. Heard alot of comments on this place and decides to give it a try. It's a hipster up market "food center". Plenty of food & seats for large groups! I quite liked the food there.

Luxury foodcourt style. Nice design with container theme. More variety of food than normal foodcourt from indonesian to thai to western, chinese food. With live music come higher price per portion (10-20 bucks) though its not expensive as the portion is also bigger and there is beer counter.

Cheap foods during lunch time. The stir fried, chicken rice stall and noodle stall are highly recommended. During night time, there are live performances as well and some fine dining. Well worth a visit.

Crazy packed at lunchtime on weekdays but I keep going because I really like the salads from Food Anatomy. Kopifellas make good coffee and yuanyang, too. I've been a couple times in the evening for the music and so far it's been a good experience. One-north is a cool place in general and Timbre+ is core to that.

Lots of obscure bottled craft beers. Archipelago on the tap but it's not my favourite poison.
There are different stalls here serving cuisine from around the world.
Filipino lechon and thai pork basil rice is pretty tasty.

I'm not digging the live band on Tuesday.
Remember to take your food tray and return it to get $1 back!

Timbre plus is the result of jtc screwing over everyone else who works in the area, who previously enjoyed cheap hawker food.

In the day time , half of the centre operates like a typical hawker center. at night it is a non air conditioned pub with more hipster hawker food. essentially, It is a hawker centre with a stage with bands that sing English songs, and a bar that stocks more kinds of beer vs a regular hawker centre with a busker with Tiger Beer with ice cubes.

Drinks:
Go a little earlier before 6pm, and you can buy cheap fruit juices and canned drinks. Other than that, there s a bar that sells a lot of kinds of beer, the cheapest at $10 a bottle.
I went there for dinner in the evening on a week night. It was so so hot, that the beer became warm quickly. I need beer with ice, man.

Food:
There s chinese stir-fry with the crab bee Hoon etc. Also, Thai food, mala, vegetarian food, Taiwanese food, chicken wings, an American grill, fish and chips (halal) and some kind of Indian vegetarian fare right in one corner. Food prices range from $6 for a bowl of noodles to $30 for a wagyu steak.

The Taiwanese street food store seemed really popular, but the bubble tea is really horrible, the sausages were dry and hard.

The new beef noodles is nice, and the mala store is pretty gd too.

The tray return:
It s a really well intentioned but failed system. Every meal with a tray, gets charged an additional $1 as a deposit. You have no choice about it. You are expected to return your tray with your utensils at little windows with conveyor belts. The aunties and uncles working in the receiving room where the conveyor belt feeds to, seemed to be really stressed as the trays pile up on their end. Then, $1 is refunded By an automatic coin dispense, as the tray passes through the entrance onto the conveyor belt....and Guess what! Those $1 coins run out. Ask about it from the Cleaners and you will get shrugs it seems like a very normal occurence . So just mentally add a dollar to all the prices you see, because chances are you won t get it back. At the end of it, you not only returned the tray for free but you paid to do it! So what does timbre do with all these extra dollars they are collecting hmm?

Conclusion :

All in all it s a place you d go if you want some food and you happened to be in the area. it s sweltering, and the hipster hawkers and bar staff look pretty miserable. Right across the road there s cafes and bars with aircon and the food is not that much more expensive too. Go into the building, and there s a Koufu. So I m feeling like the concept of this place is a little strange. Is it a restaurant or a hawker centre? But I guess I m not really into the music.

Also, The live music made it too loud to talk. Don t sit near the stage if your intention is to catch up with friends, there s some sheltered benches on the hawker store side of the complex.

If you like hawker centre but cannot compromise on ambience, this is for you Price range is in between food court and restaurant. Plenty of drink choices at the bar. Live gig starts from 8pm++. Band is called The Common People
