This is the Taste! Used to eat something similar 15 years ago at a bakery at Bukit Merah Central but couldn't find anything similar ever since it closed. Super must try!

Once Upon A Thyme caught me by surprise. It is a low key, relatively small restaurant situated at B1 of Central and offers a super worth lunch value meal which comes with a drink and soup of the day for $10.90.

I was there on Friday and the lunch deal includes turkey bacon carbonara, tomato pesto soup and earl grey lavender tea (with a top up of $1). I like the firm texture of the spaghetti & the creamy pasta sauce. However, I thought the slices of ham could be improved as it tastes more like tau ki instead of ham.

Nested in a relatively ulu part of singapore, this is definitely worth your trip! The waffles are crispy on the outside and airy and light inside. Try this heavenly concoction -top it up with the steaming hot salted egg yolk sauce, caramel with lavender at the side & earl grey lavender icecream. Yums😄
