Visitors to the vibrant city-state of Singapore should make it a point to visit the unique and fascinating enclave known as Little India. As one might expect this captivating part of the city is largely populated by people of Indian descent, with several regions of the vast subcontinent represented in this multicultural neighbourhood.

As you enter this unmistakable part of the city you will be greeted by noisy bicycle bells, automobile horns, and the distinctive chatter of the people. Little India is definitely a representative enclave of the authentic India, offering genuine Indian food, customs and entertainment.

The visitor should take the opportunity to stroll down Serangoon Road with its heady aromas of blooms and spices. In its by-lanes you will find quaint little stalls selling gold, Ayurvedic oils, incense and a variety of fabrics at attractive prices. If you would like a genuine glimpse into the mystical Hindu rites, make sure to visit the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, a shrine devoted to the goddess known as Kali.

Many other fascinating sights await you in this neighbourhood, including people making their livelihood from trades that most people might have assigned to days gone by. Hawkers such as flower sellers vending their jasmine garlands, fortune tellers with their trained parrots, and vendors of newspapers and roasted nuts will all vie for your attention.

Naturally no sojourn in Little India would be complete without sampling the distinctive Indian cuisine on offer. Excellent South Indian delicacies may be sampled at restaurants like Banana Leaf Apolo, Komala Villas and Muthu’s Curry. Or try your luck at the Tekka Market and Food Centre where you will find outstanding hawker foods like thosai (special Indian pancakes), and paratas (flat bread).

Avid shoppers will be captivated by the Mustafa Centre which is open around the clock. Inside this expansive shopping centre you will find foodstuffs, decorative items, household accessories, textiles and apparel, electronics, Indian condiments and spices, all at bargain prices which are some of the lowest in Singapore.

The astute visitor seeking Singapore serviced apartments will be pleased by the Somerset Liang Court Singapore. This excellent serviced accommodation Singaporeoffers provides well-appointed rooms and gracious service.
