After ordering our Happy Hour drinks here, we started with the food.

The Crab and Prawn Bisque was served first - crustacean of creme prawn and chunks of crabmeat, with drizzles of Brandy and served with a slice of garlic bread. It was piping hot, thick and totally delicious. The crab bits within the soup were silky smooth, and the prawns were fresh and springy in texture. Every sip was a treat.

Our Roasted Duck Pizza came next - thin crusts with roasted duck breast, sauteed shitake mushroom with hoisin sauce, topped with crispy popiah skin and mozarella cheese. The overall taste was a savoury blanket of scrumtiousness, made more so by the crispy crust, however the duck meat was hardly detectable. The spread of sauce made the pizza a tad too sweet after a while, so it is advisable to finish it ASAP upon being served.

Finally, the Seafood Risotto - arborio rice cooked with prawns, scallops and crabmeat and its a very flavorful seafood broth. The scallops and prawns were both fresh, bouncy in texture and tasty. The rice, infused with the richness of seafood gravy, was, needless to say, spoonfuls of heaven.

My favourite pub to go to with my wife. We usually have our friend gatherings there on weekdays. Their famous dish which most people will order will be the roasted duck pizza. Its duck meat on normal pizza topped with special sauce and fried wanton skin. It’s superb for sharing with a group of about 4-6 pax. And it goes rather well for beer. The ambience is great with live band starting from 8pm-12mn. Always feel relaxed chilling in timbre.

I met up with a group of my friends to have dinner and chill at Switch by Timbre! It was recommended by one of our friends as a great chill-out place for dinner and drinks as they also offer daily live performances by local artists! Timbre serve great pizzas and my favourite one is the Smoked Duck Pizza! You have to order this when you dine at Timbre!

Switch by Timbre is a new chill out place, fully air-conditioned with cozy ambiance. Love and I usually order the Roasted Duck pizza. However, this time round we ordered a half and half pizza, a mix of Roasted Duck and Timbre Hawaiian. We still prefer the Roasted Duck. But must consume the pizza fast because once it is cold, the duck is a bit tough. We also ordered the Timbre Chicken Wings, it was well marinated and perfectly deep fried. YUM YUM!!

If you are not a fan of alcoholic drinks, you can order the House Cooler (the one in green - apply flavor), there are a lot of flavor such as strawberry, passion fruit... ... The other drink is Snowball and i prefer it over beer.

Overall it's a great place to chill and enjoy good food with great music!

SWITCH is opened by Timbre, and replicates most of the dishes there. Definitely the to-die-for pizza would be the duck pizza that we ordered 3 times that very night. There were 10 of us and we tried some other side dishes and other variations of pizza but it was just Blah. just order the duck pizza and only the duck pizza. ambience was totally awesome- they have very good in house music regardless of the day you go. the irritating part is how everyone has to order a drink and they dont really ha

I was here some time ago as I was in that area, and switch is a good place to have some drinks and just chill out with friends. We got the hawaiian magarita pizza, which costs around $20, and good for 3 to share. The crust of the pizza was very thin and crispy, which I prefer to the other kind of thick crust that is more doughy. Ambience is good as well and I think they have happy hour from 6 to 9pm. They have other main courses like pasta, steak too.

I recommended my ex colleagues to pop by switch after work as i find this place a good chillax place for catching up. 3 of us ordered 2 pizzas, chicken wings and beers. For the skinny pizzas, we had hawaiian bbq and roasted duck. The portion was slightly too much for 3 of us for supper but we tried our best to finish everything. The chicken drumlets and wings were quite tough. But that's beside the point. Another reason for coming to switch is for the live music sang by talented inspiring singer

Diners can also make songs dedication on the TV projection. This is definitely one of the best place to chill out with big groups of friends.

Ordered Half & Half Pizza where one half is Smoked Salmon Pizza (right side of the photo) and the another half (left side of the photo) is Roasted Duck Pizza. I like the idea of Half & Half Pizza as I can try two different toppings of pizza without buying two pizzas and it costed $21 excluding GST and service charge.

The Spicy Buffalo Wing was slightly crispy and it went well with the sauce and the crunchy roasted peanuts. This dish costed $14 excluding GST and service charge.

Switch is a good place to chill and relax as there are live bands from 9pm onwards. However, it was kind of difficult to converse with friends as the music played was very loud.

Happy hour is from 6pm to 9pm, and first order of drink applies. They accept all major credit cards and water is self-service from the bar. Ordering is via their iPad, and the food gets served to you!

We ordered a Smoked Salmon Pizza ($18) [a welcome change from the usual duck pizza], Chicken Wings ($12), Fusili with sausage ($18) for dinner.

For $18, this smoked salmon pizza is perfect for sharing between 2-3 people (it depends on how big of a eater you are haha), plus a side dish to complement it. The smoked salmon gave the pizza an extraordinarily savoury taste, heaped with the mozarella. However, I really liked that raw onions were also thrown in. The onion really brought this dish to the next level and it prevented the monotony of the salty fish. The pizza is thin crusted and we'd say that if you're seeking out something new to try and you don't mind smoked salmon -this pizza is worth a shot!

The sausage fusilli wasn't exactly the best pasta, but it was decent. The fusilli wasn't overcooked, the pasta sauce had chunky bits of tomato in it, together with capsicum and onions. It's a very chunky pasta that is chock-full of the vegetables as well as sausage. The sausage wasn't particularly tasty, but the tomato sauce made this dish very appetising.

The wings were surprisingly good! There were both drumsticks and wings so if you're either a wing/drumstick person you won't be left out! It was fried to this crispy perfection in this batter that I know not of, but I will return for more. It wasn't overly salty, and the aroma is just so appetising! It makes you want to sink your teeth into just..one..more....But each is never your last until you've polished off the whole plate.

Drinks

We ordered 2 alcoholic and 2 non-alcoholic drinks, all $10 during happy hour -Virgin Mojito, Shirley Temple, Havana Club Rum with Tonic and a Chivas w Ginger Ale.

The Virgin Mojito is by far the best non-alcoholic drink here! It's wonderfully icy -perfect for cooling off on a hot day, with bits of lime sprigs. it's wonderfully refreshing and reminds us of good summer days by the beach! It wasn't overly sour/sweet either
Perfect.

Chivas is one of the more common housepour drinks during happy hour, and $10 gives you a glass of chivas either on the rocks, neat or with your choice of mixer. This one is with ginger ale, and the mix was delicious -not too strong and the oaky, slight vanilla frutiness of the Chivas is rounded off nicely with the sweetness of the ginger ale.

The rum & tonic was stronger and I decided to go for tonic because I felt like having tonic water -it was an odd combination though, rarely heard of but it was decent. The rum used in their house spirits is Havana Club.

The Shirley Temple was a little too sweet for me -it tasted a bit like fruit punch and cherry cordial. Not really my kind of drink but if you need something sweet -this is it!

Tuesdays and Thursdays are when the bilingual liveband (kexin & alfred) performs. They are really a crowd-pleaser and dedications can be sent in. We were very amazed and impressed by how they could easily play and sing any song, both English and Chinese. It's really entertaining and great to just chill out with a few friends and good company.

Service wise, I was slightly disappointed. Switch requires you to give your credit card to hold on tab when you first order, and even though I explicitly told them not to charge to this card both before ordering AND when asking for the bill, (a friend gave hers when we were paying), they charged to my card instead of my friend's. I was quite disappointed with this because I had told the same staffperson who served me not to charge to my card. It's not a big deal but I wish that they could have paid more attention to details like this because in the service industry, it's the small things that matter.


Other than that, Switch is a fantastic place for food and drinks, entertaining and having a great time. Weekdays are relatively quiet so walk-ins are fine, it starts to get crowded around 7+ or 8, and during Fridays, Eve of PH and PHs/Saturdays, it gets really crazy so reservations are advised. Be warned though that they only designate 50% of their seating to reservation, the other 50% is for walk in!

I fell in love with it the first time I visited Timbre (fyi, switch is under timbre and so they have the similar food menu!)! As usual, the sauce of the pizza and the crackers on the pizza were the highlights of the pizza!! They made the whole pizza taste so delicious and unique!! The crackers made the pizza extra crispy while the duck meat tgt with sauce, brought the taste of the pizza to a whole new level!! The serving was also quite large, me and 2 other friends couldn't finish it as we ordered other dishes too (typical greedy us!!) we also ordered their buffalo wings which was not too bad but in my opinion, it wasn't as good as what I had eaten at timbre the other time! We also ordered potato wedges which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!!


Last but not least, how can it be considered a chillax session without alcoholic drinks!? My friends ordered cocktails while I ordered kronenburg blanc! CHEERRRRRS! Switch is a cool place to chill if you are a music lover as there will be live band performing at around 8pm!! It's even a better place for Chinese pop songs lover as the live band do Chinese songs dedication (haha but surprisingly, more people dedicated English songs instead and the lead singer had to request for Chinese songs dedication)! If you and your friends are those who prefer chatting over dinner then this place may not be suitable for you as the music can get a little too loud! Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and me, a music lover, will definitely visit this place again soon


Of course, one thing to note is that it may get a little expensive if you were to order quite a lot of food and drinks! However I find it okay and worth it to pamper ourselves once in a while

They also have other alcohol such as martini, whiskey and many more! So do try our this place for a good night-out with your friends!

This pizza is nice because it is a thin crust pizza and the fillings for the pizza is my favourite smoked salmon and lots of cheese. It is quite rare to have a salmon pizza. However, the salmon is very tender and it just blends in very well with the cheese that they used. Therefore, the cheesy and crispiness of the pizza really adds different sensation to your tastebuds.
