LTL Chilli Crab Dinner

If you don’t try Singapore Chilli crab did you really do Singapore?

This an unavoidable question I’m afraid as the Chilli Crab is a famed Singaporean seafood dish.

Despite the name, the chilli crab isn’t spicy at all as it’s cooked in a sweet and savoury tomato and chilli-based sauce.

Chilli crab is promoted hard by the Singapore Tourism Board and that’s probably why your friends and family will be asking about it when you’re back.

Fear not, we’ve got you covered! We go monthly to our favourite spot on the island.

Be warned the Chilli crab is a bit pricey and the price varies based on size and season.

Welcome Breakfast

We host a Monday welcome breakfast at the beginning of every Mandarin starting date of the year to welcome the newest students.

Sure there are a few tired eyes from the jetlag but where better to jump right into Singapore life than your fellow students and colleagues?

Don’t worry there is coffee along with the traditional Singaporean breakfast. After a tour of the school and the area, we either go for pancakes or jiaozi together.

We have a welcome breakfast at the beginning of all beginner group class starting dates. You can find the starting dates in a small group class page.

Singapore’s Museums

You’ll be truly blown away by the number of Museums packed into Singapore!

We try to visit them as often as possible to show you Singapore’s incredible collections.

For example, The National Museum of Singapore is the oldest museum in Singapore.

This museum contains an incredible collection of exhibits related to the history of Singapore and other Asian civilizations.

Other places worth checking out are the Asian Civilisations Museum, National Gallery, Art Museum, Peranakan Museum, Art Science Museum, Malay Heritage Centre, MINT Museum of Toys, the Battle Box… and many more!

Prices range for each. Ask your student advisor about pricing and if any spark your interest let us know!

Sentosa Adventure Cove Waterpark

One of our favourite things to do on the weekends is to head on over to Adventure Cove Waterpark!

This is Singapore’s one and only waterpark so they made sure it’s a good one!

Escape the heat on the weekend with this incredible waterpark located on Sentosa island.

Afterwards, if you’ve still got energy Tanjong Beach Club is just up the road.

A beautiful spot to enjoy a piña colada and watch a Singapore sunset.

Explore Little India

Little India has played a significant role in the development of Singapore.

Once farming land, at the turn of the 20th century due to large amounts of Indian immigration this district began to look like an ethnic Indian neighbourhood and was this referred to as little India.

This is an incredible part of Singapore to explore where you can enjoy sightseeing all the Indian cultural influence on the area.

That, of course, includes delicious food and garments shopping.

If you’re lucky enough to be in Little India during a holy festival such as Deepavali you’ll see the entire area come alive with colours and lights.

Play sports with the locals

Singaporeans and the expats of Singapore are no stranger to active sports.

Getting competitive with the locals (especially older Singaporeans) is a great way to brush up on your Chinese and make more friends.

Find a tennis partner, check out the football or basketball courts or join the local running team!

There’s something for everyone.

There are no costs involve in playing sports, but make sure you bring your football boots or other equipment if there is a particular sport you want to play. Otherwise, normal trainers will do.

LTL Market Trip

When you think of shopping in Singapore you’ll probably think of luxury shopping.

You’re not wrong especially if you head down to Orchard Road which is one of the most high-end shopping experiences on the planet.

However, it might surprise you learn there are some gems in Singapore selling high-quality goods and extremely affordable prices. The best of which comes from a place called Bugis Street.

Bugis Street is a 3 story complex famous for its cheap and wonderful souvenirs, accessories, clothes, electronics, houseware, and cosmetics.

As such we make it a must-see for all LTL students with regularly scheduled trips as voted by students on what to do while in Singapore

Stand-up Comedy

Singapore has a vibrant stand-up comedy scene!
