The folks behind Timbre Group have always offered us cool hangouts, complete with good food and great music. Now, they’ve got something new up their sleeve, and it’s set to debut on Apr 1. The mammoth undertaking is a 24,000 sq ft gastropark featuring 35 restaurants and new-gen hawker stalls. Formerly an old food centre, the space has been rebuilt (by JTC) to fit 700 people for lunch, dinner and after-hours drinks.
As for the decor of the place, think high ceilings, shipping containers splashed with graffiti art, and vintage Airstream travel trailers transformed into food trucks. Timbre residents will also be making appearances here — expect familiar names like The Common People, Sweatshop Jam, Supersonic and OK Ready! to take the stage with funky tunes. Plus, look out for upcoming events like pop-up markets, chef collabs, BBQ cook-offs and festivals.
A pretty impressive list of culinary names are involved — here are a few noteworthy ones.
- Big Bern’s American Grill serves up American comfort foods such as mac ‘n cheese, Philly cheesesteak and Louisiana chicken gumbo.
- Chit Chaat Chai highlights flavours from North India in its street food snack bar.
- Dancing Crab Shack is your go-to for country-style Cajun seafood and Creole cuisine like lobster rolls and shrimp po’ boy sandwiches.
- Dusk by Slake is a new, health-conscious concept dishing out Peranakan-inspired plates.
- Fishball Story comes from hawker beginnings, and has been hailed as one of the best noodles in town.
- Garçons offers French classics like duck leg confit, braised lamb shank and oxtail stew with a modern twist.
- Kush whips up mod-Sin-inspired charcoal-grilled skewers and rice bowls.
- Portico Platos stars Spanish tapas and woks full of paella, cooked on the spot.
- Teppei Daidokoro is the latest yakitori outlet of chef Teppei Yamashita.
