📍Hopscotch (Gardens By The Bay)

Fav was the baby back ribs [$26] and the calamari rings [$12]. Ribs were tender and very flavorful and the calamari rings were just fries to perfection😍😍🥰first time trying it with sweet chilli and i love ittttt. Rest of the mains were alright but wouldnt come again if there was no burpple 1-1. Portion for beef bourguignon[$26] was superrrrr tiny tho, think they only gave like 3 pcs…

Anyways very fancy place and can take a stroll at GBTB after dinner heh

Pricey, low grade beef and not fantastic

I found a small piece of broken plastic in my dish towards the end of my meal. Not sure if I just ingested a bowl of melted plastic. It’s a safety issue, so I just wanted to put it out here.

I nicely told the staff about it - and they told me that I didn’t need to use the Burpple 1-for-1 deal as compensation, since this dish would be free. Don’t really understand how that’s a compensation since the dish was going to be free anyway with the deal. 😅 I verbalised that there was no difference, but no alternatives were offered. Didn’t want to kick up a big fuss since there was a family with children beside our table, so I left it, and here I am writing a negative review.

I thought the situation could’ve been handled better - it was slightly unpleasant that they spoke as if their compensation was great, when it didn’t make a difference to me at all. Food was actually okay if not on the pricier side, but I guess after this experience I don’t have the best impression of how this restaurant is ran.

the baby back ribs, i have to say, were yummy. The flavour was great and the meat was so soft that it practically slid off the bones. It also went perfectly with the achaar and crackers on the side. The lobster chilli pasta we tried was nothing to write home about, but it was satisfactory. On a side note, the service at the restaurant was great. However, we did get startled a couple of times when bugs from the nearby fields flew in and landed on us. worth a try!

Great place for groups! The outdoor seating can accommodate for groups 8-12 with reservations made. Food is good, and happy hour is even better! Great that it's about 5mins walk from Alexander Retail center.
