Hopscotch (Capitol Singapore)

My daughter decided to celebrate an early Father's Day with me, and she took me to Hopscotch at Capitol Arcade, a charming restaurant offering a variety of Western dishes.

To mark this special occasion, we decided to try some of their signature cocktails. I opted for the “A Decade in Time,” which was served in an elegant hourglass glass, beautifully paired with an infinity mirror display showcasing light paintings of memorable moments. My daughter chose the “Wish Upon a Lantern,” inspired by the traditional Chinese sky lantern. The cocktail came with a paper lantern for us to write our wishes on before the staff set it on fire in front of us, revealing the drink inside. It was an incredibly unique and memorable presentation that added a special touch to our celebration.

We also ordered a selection of appetizers, including mushroom and lobster bisque soup, which was rich and flavorful, accompanied by crab cakes served with fried mautou and a spicy chili crab sauce. The sambal grilled octopus confit was another highlight, bursting with flavor.

For the main course, my daughter had the duck confit with foie gras, which was expertly prepared, the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. I went for the signature black garlic ribeye steak which was served with bone marrow butter. The steak was juicy and tender and I savored every bite.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the food, and the staff were exceptional attentive and thoughtful, making us feel pampered from the moment we walked in until the end of our meal.

Hopscotch is a fantastic spot to create lasting memories with its unique cocktails and great food. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a special dining occasion.

I brought my dad to Hopscotch @ Capitol for a little father-daughter dinner date after church, and it turned out to be such a delightful experience.

We started with the Chilli Crab Cakes and Sambal Grilled Octopus—both perfect starters to whet the appetite. The crab cakes were packed with generous chunks of crab meat, and the rich, slightly spicy chilli crab sauce that came with it really hit the spot. The octopus was beautifully grilled, tender, and had a lovely smoky char, balanced out by a touch of spice and creamy sauce.

For mains, I went with the Duck Confit with Foie Gras, which was easily the star of the evening for me. The skin was incredibly crispy while the duck meat stayed tender and moist. The tangy-sweet mandarin orange salsa on the side added a refreshing twist that cut through the richness perfectly. My dad had the Ribeye Steak, and he couldn’t stop raving about how soft and juicy it was!

We also treated ourselves to two cocktails (A decade in time, and Wish upon a lantern), and I have to say, Hopscotch really brings the theatrics when it comes to drinks. Both cocktails came with flair and were packed with local fruity flavours like mangosteen and soursop—super refreshing and a fun way to round out the meal.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. From bold flavours to beautifully executed dishes and drinks, Hopscotch really delivers on its promise of celebrating Singaporean identity through food and cocktails. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a satisfying meal with a local twist and great vibes!

Great night out at hopscotch with their anniversary cocktail and steak, steak was juicy and tender. Cocktail was amazing as well!

Really enjoyed my time here! I got the barramundi fish and chips - fresh fish with crispy batter, well-balanced and really satisfying… Also tried the A Decade in Time cocktail - served in an hourglass glass with a QR code which you can scan to explore Hopscotch’s history… Overall a great spot if you are into creative food and drinks with a local twist!!!

Hopscotch is such a chill place to hangout at with anyone from co-workers to best friends to partners! I visited after work with my partner and we had such a great time - the staff were really sweet and knowledgeable, and both the food and drinks menu were one of a kind!

I ordered the Barramundi Fish & Chips while my partner ordered the Black Garlic Ribeye Steak. The fish was very crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside, while the chips were fried to perfection and wasn’t too salty! The steak was probably the best i’ve ever had in my life! It was so soft and easy to eat. The bone marrow butter paired the steak so well.

We were mindblown at the drinks selection. The creativity behind all the drinks has to be the star of the show! Both my partner and I got edible cocktails! I enjoyed Bubble Bean, which was Hopscotch’s take on Singapore’s local dessert “Michael Jackson”, and the presentation and taste was next level. My partner had a Heartland Signature and it came with a waffle on top! 😱

Definitely a new spot in town where I can have dinner or drinks with friends and family! Will definitely be back for more!

A nicely balanced main - the mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts were perfectly seasoned to complement a tender steak
