Thyme

At Thyme, you choose the main dish for your bento. One customer reported that although the rice was about the size of a single rice ball, the four accompanying sides made for a filling meal. It sounds like a good lunch option when you want a variety of dishes rather than a larger serving of rice.

The deli selection includes nanbanzuke—fish marinated in a tangy vinegar sauce—made with Hokkaido salmon or wakasagi smelt, pork braised in red wine, aromatic fried young chicken and large prawns in chilli sauce. Other options include chinjao rosu, eggplant simmered in broth, choucroute and yam woon sen, giving you a choice of dishes from Japanese and Western cuisines. Some customers also recommend the liver pâté, a tempting option to take home and add to a meal.

Bento boxes and deli dishes are available for takeaway. There is no dine-in service.
