A cute little cafe serving passionately cooked food. Extremely cosy and chill vibes. Menu is small mostly pasta and salads. Tiramisu is homemade too. Flavours are a little bland for me, missing a little kick and depth of flavour. But otherwise no complaints with what is served. Good portion size. Tiramisu is full of coffee kick and would suit a coffee lover more than a dessert lover. Highly attentive, great service. Thyme Chicken chop with the mash is OK. The mash smooth with plenty of fresh salad, chicken cooked juicy. The seafood creamy chilli garam has a good kick (not enough for spice lovers) and served with huge mussels and prawns.

The food was great, waiter was friendly, and environment was ambient. Tiramisu is a must try. But do note that the cafe is located at the shoplot opposite of where google tagged it. Suggest to search for 42 Kay Yi instead.
