  • Practice Speaking Singlish

    Have you heard people speaking Singlish before? This is your chance to try it! Singlish is the colloquial version of English spoken by Singaporeans with words and phrases from Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, Malay, Tamil and many more languages thrown into the mix. Practice with your local host or even attend a Singlish class with your friends and family.

    Chinese calligraphy is the ancient art of painting Chinese words beautifully with a paintbrush. Learn how to do it like a pro in a calligraphy activity in Singapore! Let the experts and your local host guide your hand in painting Chinese symbols and express your emotions through the art of writing. At the end of it all, you may even have something new to frame on your wall back home!

    Through calligraphy, you will learn how to distinguish your strokes with the paintbrush and how to add emotions to the way that you write. It doesn’t matter if you are not familiar with Mandarin, all you have to do is paint!

  • Learn how to cook Singapore dishes like a pro

    Singaporeans are known for being proud of their food, and what better than to learn cooking from the masters themselves: your local hosts! Singapore cuisine is unique and incorporates dishes from China, Malaysia, India and many more countries. Learn how to master the art of cooking some of the best Asian food in the world through a fun-filled cooking class with locals!

    You will be able to learn some of the most well-kept family recipes which are key to cooking great Singaporean dishes, be it chilli crab, nasi lemak, satay or cereal prawns! Armed with this knowledge, you can try and recreate the same dishes when you return home. Great food and great company in an authentic Singaporean setting; there’s no Singapore activity like it!

Private Toy Tour & Workshop

I had initially thought Peter’s Toy Experience was a trip to various well-known stores with huge collection of toys around Singapore. Boy, was I wrong. Peter, having been brought up in another generation where toys were made from simple, daily life items such as marbles, feathers, papers, and bottle caps, explained the history of toys through props and activity that are children friendly like folding various types of paper planes in MINT Museum of Toys (What better place to learn toy history than here?). The tour will end at the Tintin Shop located in Chinatown with a bit of history on the cartoonist, Georges Remi and the main characters of The Adventures of Tintin. If you are toy aficionado, a kid at heart or simply looking for something that is children-friendly, look no further!
