What a lovely and rustic cafe which prizes itself on the quality of coffee!

We tried two types of beans - one which was their original blend (more sour notes) and a fruity blend (you could taste the strawberry!)

Foodwise, they had just revamped their menu with an Asian fusion. We had the chicken dish as well as the egg frittata (made vegetarian by adding more vegetables and mushrooms).

The chicken was a huge piece and came with pappadam, sambal, baked potato and shredded cucumber. Overall a very filling and satisfying dish!

The frittata was not your regular frittata, with tastes of sesame oil and a hit of umami, paired with a spicy mayo(?) which added a nice kick. It was a very filling dish so don’t be fooled by the seemingly small size.

Cost: Paid about $55 for two mains and two iced coffees.

Overall a nice quaint cafe but the menu was alright and on the pricey side, although the portions were large and will make you full the whole day! Coffee was really good too.

French toast ($22) was quite nice and fluffy and quite sweet overall, would’ve preferred for the ice cream to be served in a separate bowl so that it didn’t melt all over the plate. The flavours were good but couldn’t taste much guava, it seemed more like stewed fruits with cinnamon.

My friend tried the salmon with Rosti ($24) and it was a large portion!

2nd visit to hopscotch - it’s no longer on Burpple Beyond, but we went when the set lunch meal was available ($24 for appetiser, main and drink from a limited menu). The food took very long to arrive and we were served at the same time as others who arrived much later than us. The portions were small and not consistent with other tables as well. Would probably come back more to try out the interesting cocktails.

Drinks: added extra $3 for coffee which turned out to be an nespresso shot, but the iced lemon tea was 👌🏽 and highly recommended! The cocktail menu had so many local flavours which was very appealing!

Appetisers: we tried the mushroom salad and soup which were good

Mains: we ordered the chilli crab pasta, mushroom risotto ($22 on ala carte) and cereal prawn burger. Overall the food was not too bad, but between them the cereal prawn burger would be the most worth option.

Tried the 1-for-1 4-course meal ($79.90) on Valentine’s Day which seemed like such a good deal. The service was a bit strange because we got served all courses almost at once (the dessert was served with the appetisers at the start)

Appetisers: this was the best of the whole meal. We had both options of leek soup and bread with dip. Highly recommended!

Sides: calamari and truffled tater tots which were not too bad as well

Mains: tried the famous pork jowl and truffle mushroom pasta. As someone who likes fatty pork, this was a disappointment as it was 90% fat with barely any meat. With the fried sides, this left us with a greasy meal. The standard of pasta is what you would get at any regular pasta place, but overall very salty.

Desserts: we had both options of matcha churros and tiramisu. The churros added to the greasiness of the meal and was very sweet, so was the tiramisu.

Overall we had higher expectations especially with the good reviews on food king. As one of the reviewers also mentioned, it was probably more worth to get the $29.90 per pax 3-course set meal instead.

A humble shop with 1-for-1 coffee which has a standard like your popular cafes (and not to mention the super cute hand drawings). Try out the food as well which is super worth it, filling and satisfying. They only do takeaways but the staff were super friendly and informed us of suitable places to dine in at the mall. Would definitely come back again if in the area!

Gave this a try after hearing many good reviews about this place. A really popular stall that left me queueing 30 mins for this! However, thought that the meatballs were pretty standard and would give that a pass next time. Their chili also left me tearing while I ate this so I’d recommend to request for less Chili if your spice tolerant isn’t great!

A healthy meal with really generous servings! Ordered a mix of original soyu salmon and spicy garlic tuna. The only downside was that the spicy garlic tuna didn’t have much garlic flavour because the mayo was quite overpowering.

Was really excited to try this but turned out a little disappointing. Was hoping for a crispy salmon skin but it came quite soggy. Cream sauce was quite nice but it got a bit too much especially with the buttery mash potato and salmon

LOVED THIS so much. So worth the money and rly good quality! The staff were very friendly too which make the experience a lot more enjoyable. They recommended 3 ways to eat this (my favourite was with the dashi stock - perfect for a rainy day)

It was SO YUMMY the first time we had it but a lil disappointing this time round :( remembered this to be a lot smoother and less sour... hope it was js a one off thing bcuz it was rly yummy the first time

Came here as they had the 1-for-1 cheese fondue promo until 21 November 2021. Overall it was a wonderful experience and you could tell how homely the atmosphere was as there were Swiss who are regulars to the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout, made very spot-on and fantastic recommendations, and it was just a lovely vibe throughout as you could tell that they really enjoyed working there! Overall a really great experience!

Cheese bomb with Coucou salad ($14)
Started off with this as the appetizer, it was a great start and the salad with the amazing dress was very refreshing!

Chilli padi cheese fondue ($35 for 2 pax, U.P. $35 per pax)
They had a wide selection of cheese fondue flavours such as the original, chilli padi, porcini mushrooms, tomato and truffle. The chilli padi was a good choice and added a spicy kick which Singaporeans would LOVE. There was a huge bread bowl to go with it and you could top up additional $5 for potatoes / carrots / broccoli and cauliflower. The cheese fondue was great for the first few pieces but tbh got a bit jelak in the end since it was a huge portion for two.

Rigatoni pasta with Ragu ($26)
The original menu is a beef ragu but the waitress offered this option as the vegetarian option. It went very well with the cheese fondue as it helps to cut through the cheese flavour.

Caramelised lemon tart with raspberries ($14)
I can’t describe how amazing this was!! The raspberries were sweet and the lemon filling was so zesty! Perfect execution and I wish I wasn’t so full otherwise would have enjoyed it even more! They just added this on the current menu so I hope it’s here to stay and not just a seasonal item!

What an extensive menu and the food was very worth the price! I don’t know what about it but it brought me back to Australia!

Green plate ($19)
A huge spread of egg white frittata and mushrooms with Hollandaise sauce, hash browns, a whole avocado and toast! Added $3 for a generous serving of halloumi cheese. Very satisfying for the price and kept me full the whole day!

Hashbrowns with Smoked Salmon ($17)
Eggs and hashbrown are a good combination. Overall it was quite a fatty dish (the hasnbrowns were quite oily too) that could use a bit of salad to refresh the palate but everything tasted great!

Iced latte for $6.90
Cappuccino for $5.90 - options for plant-based milks at an extra cost and low fat milk (no extra cost for this)
