Hopscotch (Capitol Singapore)

Came by as I had bought a Chope 1-for-1 mains voucher during one of their sales. The seating was a little bit cramped, such that if I held my hands out I think i could reach for the neck of the adjacent guests. Not ideal for dates (or for sharing private gossip). Also, the chairs are really uncomfortable, like, they were too low and not compatible with the height of the table.

In any case, we settled for the Chilli Lobster Malfadine ($30) and the Sweet and Sour Sticky Pork Ribs ($27). First things first, both dishes were served at room temperature - which in an air-con environment, meant it was almost cold! Did not like that at all. For the pasta, the sauce is reminiscent of the likes of chilli crab, though with lobster (a somewhat tough and obviously frozen lobster). Overall, felt it was somewhat one-dimensional and the poor quality of the lobster meat really let the dish down.

The pork ribs was, putting aside the coldness of it, actually fall-off-the-bone. Kudos to that! The sauce leaned heavily towards the sweet side (barely any zestiness/tanginess/sourness) and did not add much. I also missed any semblance of char or caramelisation that would have added an oomph to the meat. The achar and crackers were nice, and I have to give a special shoutout to the baby potatoes because they were so damn GOOD!! BUT they only gave 4 - FOUR - small halves?? That's absurd!

All in all, thought the dishes we had had so much more to improve on, and while the service we received was decent, there were some dissatisfaction / confusion / miscommunication at our adjacent table which we were full on spectators of - the tables are that close - to which I thought "hey luckily it didn't happen to us".

Overall, would I return? Eghh only if I had some vouchers to take advantage of, else I would much rather spend the money on other quality resto-bars.

We ordered the Duck Confit (with Foie Gras) and the Black Garlic Ribeye Steak with Bone Marrow Butter! The duck skin was crispy on the outside and the meat was juicy on the inside. Paired with the creamy foie gras, it was hands down one of the best duck confits I’ve ever tasted! We requested the steak to be cooked medium-rare, and it was done to perfection—complemented beautifully by the rich brandy sauce.

As for the cocktails, we were pleasantly surprised by the wide variety available and were absolutely spoilt for choice. We decided on the Heartland Signature and Ice on Wheels and didn’t expect the drinks to be served exactly as illustrated in the menu. They were the cutest, and the cocktails tasted extra special with their fun and creative elements.

Have their unique spin on their cocktails to go along with with their cozy restaurant

Hopscotch serves up incredibly creative cocktails, and the staff are fantastic at recommending drinks based on your preferences. With a cozy, relaxed vibe, it's the perfect spot to enjoy unique drinks and unwind.

I had a fantastic night out! The 'Curtain Call' cocktail was a showstopper - expertly mixed with a perfect balance of flavors and a touch of drama (no wonder it’s an award winning cocktail bar!). I also had the Fish and Chips, the barramundi fish was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with golden, crunchy chips (fries). A delightful dining experience!

Went for dinner at Hopscotch (Capitol) for dinner on a weekday evening. I have heard about their special cocktails prior to this and having ordered the King of Pop which is one of their dessert cocktail, I was very impressed. It had the right amount of sweetness and the taste of alcohol doesn't overwhelm the dessert. Also ordered their Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms and Pangium Beef Bourguignon and it was really good. The beef was tender and the mash potatoes compliments it well. Overall the dinner was amazing and the staffs are very friendly as well!
