Hopscotch (Gardens by the Bay)

Was at garden by the bay over the week and chanced upon this cocktail bar. Despite being at gbtb, their mains and sides were decently priced, not too expensive for being at a tourist attraction.

I ordered the pork ribs and my partner got steak, and we had Brussels sprouts to share. The steak was cooked just as we liked (medium rare), and the rub on the ribs was really good too. But the best dish was the Brussels sprouts. Boiled then fried, topped with a vinegar dressing, the entire dish really took us by surprise and amazed us!

We tried their cocktails also - and their cocktails are really an experience. My partner got the edible cocktail - i’d say this is stronger than the others, and had an interesting experience of eating shaved ice (like an ice cream) before it melted into a drink. I got the ube one and those who love taro - this is for you. For someone that cant take strong drinks, the alcohol taste was really watered down by the ube ice cream! We couldnt help ourselves but try their gbtb exclusive (cant recall the name but it was above the ube one). It wasnt too strong and had a good mix of floral nodes in it. Best part is it came lit up and served in a glass that resembled the super trees!

Overall, great service and food. Must try is their cocktails!

Visited the branch at Gardens by the Bay, which had a lovely atmosphere.

The food was great, and we were particularly impressed by the Brussel sprouts, which were fried to perfect crispiness and drizzled with honey soy sauce for a nice acidic finish.

However, the restaurant's wow factor were their cocktails. I had the Summer Fling, an edible cocktail inspired by Taiwanese ice jelly and presented in an impressive smoking glass bowl, while my partner had the Heirloom, a cocktail inspired by Hakka abacus seeds and was rich in Taro flavour. The cocktails were so impressive that we also got the branch-specific Garden Rhapsody, a which was served in a lit glass meant to represent the Supertrees that served as the background of our dinner.

Overall, a pleasant experience with good ambience, food and service. Would certainly recommend for a date night or for a family dinner!

Nestled in the heart of the Gardens by The Bay, Hopscotch invites diners to indulge in a delightful blend of comfort and sophistication. On my recent visit, I had the pleasure of trying their fish and chips, duck confit, and a refreshing cocktail.

Starting with the Fish and Chips, the presentation was inviting, with a perfectly golden crust enveloping the flaky fish. Each bite offered a satisfying crunch, followed by the tender, moist flesh within. The accompanying tartar sauce was a delightful complement, adding a zesty kick that elevated the dish. The hand-cut fries were crispy and seasoned just right, making for a classic pairing that did not disappoint.

Next, the Duck Confit was a showstopper. The duck leg was cooked to perfection, its skin beautifully crisp while the meat was rich and succulent. Each forkful melted in my mouth and the accompanying red wine sauce added a vibrant freshness to the plate. The subtle hint of herbs in the dish showcased the chef’s attention to detail, making it a memorable experience.
To wash it all down, I opted for one of their signature cocktails - Secret Remedy. The blend of flavors was refreshing and perfectly balanced, enhancing my dining experience without overshadowing the food. It was a delightful way to end the meal, setting a relaxed tone for the evening.

Overall, Hopscotch exceeded my expectations with its well-crafted dishes and inviting ambiance. Whether you’re a fan of classic comfort food or looking to explore elevated flavors, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more from their enticing menu!

Always wanted to try Hopscotch and finally did at their Gardens by the Bay outlet!

We tried the Duck Confit with Foie Gras and Barramundi Fish and Chips, as well as one of their cocktails called Secret Remedy, which was served in a ceramic calabash.

They had a wide selection of interesting cocktails as well and we were spoilt for choice, cant wait to come back to try the others!

Very friend staff, food was very tasty. Would definitely visit again!

Here is what we ordered:
-Cereal Prawn Burger ($24++): Thick Prawn Patties with butter poached tiger prawns and buttered buns! Thought this burger was super unique! Cereal flakes make it taste like a real cereal prawn dish!
-Kapitan Omu Risotto ($25++): Another very unique dish that can only be found here! This is like japanese omu rice with arborio rice cooked risotto style! Sauce tastes like thai curry being a mixture of creamy coconut sauce! Chicken was lightly spices!

The taste of the food took me by surprise and I will recommend all to come to try their delicious unique tasting food!
