Hopscotch (Capitol Singapore)

Hopscotch Capitol is such a fun spot. The place feels open and chill, with a cozy vibe that’s perfect for after-work dates or hangouts near the CBD.

I had the Chilli Lobster Mafaldine Pasta and I enjoyed it, it had strong chilli crab flavours and the lobster was tender, not rubbery.

The drinks were the best part. I tried “Wish Upon a Lantern,” where you write a wish and they flame it up. Super cool touch. All the cocktails were creative and great for photos.

Service was friendly and made the whole experience even better. Chris was incredibly helpful with accommodating us with our cocktail choice! Definitely recommend for a fun night out.

Ordered the black garlic ribeye steak and its was super tender. I was recommended the cocktail "A Decade in Time" the presentation was out of this world. The cocktail was sweet and sour and it was delicious. Chris was an amazing help, explaining the cocktails to us and making sure we were well taken care of. Wonderful job! Would definitely return.

The steak is season perfectly. Not too salty, not too bland. It pairs well with the side dishes. The two component that stands to me is the brussel sprout where it is baked perfectly to leave a nice char and crisp on its other layer and the mash potato where it is mixed with roasted black garlic to give a unique taste.

Pangium beef bourguignon was delicious! 10/10 recommend

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!
