Little India
Be warned, this is not Singapore and it is not some touristy setup to lure the unsuspected.
So, having gotten that out of the way, this is where you can come to experience the unfamiliar in familiar Singapore, eh? Little India presents a huge contrast to Singapore’s organized and squeaky clean image. This place is chaotic, crowded and full of the unexpected, and it celebrates the immense diversity of Singapore!
A good starting point would be race course road, working through the alleys and lanes to Serangoon Road. There are restaurants and cafes serving authentic Indian food. Vegetarians too will find that this is a Mecca for your taste buds. There are shops displaying a mind boggling array of gold jewelries, some of which defies human wearable physics. There are shops selling the latest Indian fashion & the latest and greatest Bollywood CDs & DVDs.
And what is a visit without a trip to Mustafa Centre. This is the place to buy cheap electronics, souvenirs and everything under the sun. Best of all, it is open 24 hours.
We had great fun just poking our heads into quaint little shops and getting lost in the small lanes. Stock up on all the colorful spices and having a mango lassi with the locals. Best enjoyed during the Deepavali festival in October, or during weekends. You have been warned.

nice in the place, awesome
Love the place
nice in the place, awesome.
Little India certainly opened all of my senses from my eyes to my nose. Walking down the street smelling of all the spices cooking was intoxicating and seeing all of the bight colours of sari’s looked awesome.
Little India is an amazing experience. It will change you mind & either make you swear you next trip is to India or swear that you will never go there in your life! Mustafa centre is an eye opener & then food & clothing shops are simply fantastic. We are flying through Singapore later this year & plan on spending a few hours in Little India just to relive the atmosphere.
