Little India

Little India is synonymous with the scent of flower garlands and spices, and the dazzling sight of gold jewellery, colourful silk saris (traditional Indian women’s garment) and polished brassware being sold at shops. This enclave is packed with interesting sights which are best discovered by foot; pop into the magnificent Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, explore tiny provision shops at the Little India Arcade, enjoy curry and pappadums (fried thin flatbread) served on a banana leaf at eateries like the popular Banana Leaf Apollo and Komalas, and marvel at the array of wares while shopping at Mustafa Centre, a 24-hour, six-storey complex with bargains that are hard to beat. You'll also find the Abdul Gaffoor Mosque, one of Singapore's national monuments.
