Thyme At Aliwal, An Additional Option to Kampong Glam - Interior, another view

Thyme At Aliwal, An Additional Option to Kampong Glam – Bugis, Singapore

After successful year of operating the cafe, Thyme At Rochester, folks behind this al fresco cafe that is surrounded by greens opened their second cafe, Thyme At Aliwal. They occupied the cafe formerly known as Eat Play Love.

Thyme at Aliwal has a complete different vibe from the first. This is an indoor cafe with air-conditioning and a playful interior. For those who lament about the heat at Rochester but loves their food, you can opt to enjoy them at this outlet.

Menu at Thyme At Aliwal is similar to the Rochester outlet. What’s more, be rest assured of the quality and standard too.

This round, I chose different items from what I tried at Rochester. Though not a big fan of mushroom, an exception is for the Portobello, hence I opted
Portobello with Mango Mayo ($14). I was curious of the sauce, mango chutney with mayo was a killer combination, perfect for the breaded shroom.

Pan-seared Norwegian Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce ($22) is another amazing item. Alluring crispy skin on the surface of the fillet was the plus point. Lemon Butter Sauce coupled with the salmon was superb. At the bottom was a bed of perfectly grilled vegetables.

I was Apple Crumble With Ice Cream

NAHMJ Verdict

Personally, I prefer Thyme At Aliwal to Thyme At Rochester, as it has air-condition.
