Timbre Signatures: The Culinary Transformation
Timbre X S.E.A. is undergoing a transformation into Timbre Signatures, a concept that harmoniously combines music and culinary arts while staying true to Timbre’s core values. One of the highlights is the “Singapore Signatures” menu, a celebration of the finest local flavors.
In collaboration with Tiger Crystal, this menu perfectly marries local cuisine with music. Tiger Crystal, known for its smooth taste, complements the bold flavors of Singaporean dishes. Here’s a taste of what you can expect:
Beef Carpaccio ($17): Thinly sliced tenderloin with capers, grated egg mimosa, crispy potato shreds, arugula, shallots, and chives, harmonized with anchovy lemon aioli.
Seared Hokkaido Scallop Laksa Risotto ($32): A marriage of succulent scallops and laksa-infused risotto, garnished with cucumber, slow-poached egg, desiccated coconut, and laksa pesto.
Chocolate Lava Flambe ($15): A decadent molten chocolate lava cake, ignited with Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky and mixed berries.
Innovative Singaporean Cocktails
Timbre Signatures also boasts innovative and iconic Singaporean cocktails, each with a unique twist. Some intriguing concoctions to try include “No Chilli, Tak Shiok!” (a spicy vodka-based drink), “Bugis Pirates” (a spiced-infused rum creation), and “Jialat Liao!” (a seemingly innocent birthday concoction that surprises).
The Singapore Signatures and Timbre Signatures Menus
The Singapore Signatures menu offers small plates inspired by Singaporean cuisine. Delight in dishes like “Kaya Croissant with Seared Foie Gras” ($32), “Char-Grilled Pork Satay” ($18), and “Char-Grilled Octopus with Chorizo Lemak Curry Aioli” ($26). Meanwhile, the Timbre Signatures menu features beloved classics like “Timbre Signature Chicken Wings” and “Roasted Duck Pizza.”
