Little India
Singapore

Showing off the Indian culture in Singapore, Little India is a small area bustling with shops, cafes and the vibrant culture. From hindu temples to muslim mosques, this area is home to numerous locations which collectively exhibit the diversity of Indian culture. While the place is famous among locals for shopping for Indian goods, Little India is also a perfect place to enjoy the lip-smacking Indian cuisine.

Little India Singapore

Located east of the Singapore River, Little India is one of the most visited districts in Singapore. The place is famous for its religious sites which include Hindu and Buddhist temples along with a 19th-century Mosque. In the early 19th century, it was an important spot for Europeans because of the presence of a racecourse in the area. As the cattle trading business took over, the place started getting an Indian makeover because of the large number of migrant workers from India settling in.

Later on, the goods & services business flourished, and a lot of Hindu temples and Mosques were built. Today, Little India is one among the most vibrant cities of Singapore because of its Indian and mixed cultured flavours. Along Serangoon road, there are multiple Indian eateries and restaurants where you can try traditional South Indian food, Northern tandoori recipes and some local cuisines like Roti-Prata and Teh-Tarik (pulled hot tea).

You can also visit the brewers who pull hot milk in a unique way, which is a delight to watch. Another famous spot in Little India is the Mustafa Center shopping mall which is open for 24 hours. Just like a festive Indian market, Little India has got roofless Tekka Center, goldsmiths, and Saree stores. Little India attracts most visitors during the Indian festive seasons, i.e. near October and November for Deepavali and during mid-January for Pongal.
