Man, if you've been to India and need a hit, then Little India is the place to go. It's like stepping through an instant transporter. It's pretty crowded and you can get all that is authentically Indian from food to shopping. It reminded me of Delhi a little bit. Definitely worth checking out

Definitely a place to visit, I liked it better than Chinatown. Food, markets, etc. and, another easy train ride. The highlight of my visit was probably popping up into one of the salons. My friend and I both got henna "tattoos" for fun. I'd had them in African countries but never the Indian designs, etc. I paid $35 for both... More

For those who think Singapore is too sanitized - COME HERE. Smell, see and taste India with all its ups and downs! Miles of small shops selling saris, Hindu kitsch and other bizarre souvenirs. The amazing Mustafa Department Store must be seen with piles of all known brands and styles but featuring many things you wont want. There are some... More

Just manic but the temples are beautiful, the energy is crazy and you will not believe you are actually in Singapore. Mustafa is a must stop.

As we arrived we noted how many people were hanging out on the street socialising, though nothing could have prepared us for when we got to the main shopping street which was absolutely jam packed with people shopping and bargaining. Definitely not a place for anyone with claustrophobia. There were a wide variety of food outlets, shops and hotels. The... More
