From tea appreciation workshops to museum tours, you won’t have to Netflix your day away as your staycay itinerary will be packed with unique things to do. Here’s what you can expect: 


Learn how to brew traditional kopi

Those who get their daily kopi from hawker stalls will know that the taste of traditional coffee is hard to replicate at home – even with a coffee machine. It requires a slew of knowledge ranging from the type of beans used, equipment needed to various roasting and grinding techniques. 

If you’re interested in learning the craft so you can impress your guests or brew your own without heading to a kopitiam, the Traditional Coffee Workshop by Nanyang Old Coffee will let you try your hand at making your very own cuppa. You’ll also get to delve into the history and culture of coffee-making while indulging in a variety of hawker delights. 

To sign up, reserve a timeslot at the front office during your stay at AMOY  – slots are available on a first come first serve basis. AMOY guests get to enjoy 10% off the workshop prices.

Price: $25.20 for workshop with local snacks (U.P. $28), $28.80 for workshop with local meals (U.P. $32)
Address: 268 South Bridge Road, Singapore 058817
