Enjoy the travel to Little India Singapore

Little India is located between Racecourse Road, Syed Alwi Road, and Jalan Besar. However, depending on whom you ask, the boundaries were somewhat fuzzy. Take the MRT northeast direction towards Little India Station and exit at Racecourse Road.

Instruction from The Lonely Planet Guide to Little India Singapore

    1. Pick a starting point.
    2. The road continues to meet the intersection.
    3. Turn left or right.
    4. Take a photo and see what is going on.
    5. The road continues until you see the next intersection.
    6. Turn the opposite direction from which you took at the previous intersection.
    7. Take photos, noticing your surroundings.
    8. Repeat 2-7 times until you see a dead end.
    9. Share your story with other walkers.

If you see something interesting, go there. But remember, go back to the earlier point and continue your journey from there.

Buffalo Road
Vegetables at a roadside stall is mixing colors red onion, ripe tomato, and radish-sized pale green chillies hand decorated. Behind the doors of the plexiglass, I peered a pair of teenagers dressed in gold and black color malay played the hypnotic tones of Kompang them. Helmeted workers on the platform above was changing the color of gold ornaments which faded in a former house owned by Tan Teng Niah (a famous Chinese businessman and one of the pioneers of non-Indians from Little India).
A group of men sitting on plastic chairs with a view towards a flat-screen TV on top of an iron pot containing yellow rice briyani, which is playing the latest Bollywood songs and dances.

Chander Road
Rows of small restaurants and shabby next to the liquor store and a coffee shop. It seems doubtful, but it may be cheaper or even better than the restaurants along Racecourse Road. Try the onion egg breakfast menu in the restaurant Tossai Chettinadu using banana leaves as plates, you can scoop out herbs from the pot of iron into your food.
Belios Road
I looked down through a gate into the temple of Sri Veeramakaliamamman. Three women, who looks suspiciously like a man, offering incense to Kali, Lord Krishna amongst other Hindu deities. They looked at me suspiciously. A white-robed Brahmin priest pointed to my sandals. I went straight back and forth like sheep. Prohibited footwear used in the temples of India.
Across the street:

 Paisley and Cream, a cooking school and the ethnic Chinese clan associations above the electronic stores and restaurants 'original Chennai' scattered everywhere. A cottage indulgence in "High-speed Internet!" in addition to kiosks selling magazines hottest gossip from Mumbai and a haircut for S $ 5. Business is always busy in the barber.
Kampong Kapor Road
Under the block of apartments:
- A long queue at a lottery shop. They left with a ticket with a 4 digit number. Hoping to get out of the slum life.- Kiosk which sold liquor to the size of a hand and a beer bottle at S $ 3.50 for a pint.- Laptop former output that has been polished over a year ago sold for S $ 400.
Rowell Road
A woman with blue eyeliner and gold jewelry adorn a beautiful sari, was waiting for customers. Previously this was the area of ​​localization, after cleaning the old toy museum, gallery art avant-garde, and Western-style vegetarian restaurant. There is also a KTV karaoke lounge, but it is still too early to sing.
Gang between Desker Road and Rowell Road
Localization with a home full of comfort women who wait. One of them with a highly arched brows nodded and waved to "invite" you. There is also a vital tool made of rubber replica is on display along with Spanish Fly stimulant drugs, while chatting with the stall owners of a young Indian who lean.
Kampong Kapor Road
Construction worker clothing and boots sold in advance alley. Ignore them. Go to the store. There is a valuable collection of shoes for less than S $ 20 and matching sunglasses. And there are more houses localization along the alley.
Desker Road, Bangla Square
Cement plaza filled with ethnic Indian workers in Carom table. They flipped the coin round disc of wood with admirable skill. Bangladesh small shop selling snacks made from rice clumps in the cone of paper, pieces of areca nut wrapped in leaves, and phone cards to call home.
A young hawker wrap betel nuts to me, for free (usual price of 50 Singapore cents) to be chewed, smoked, and diludahkan. One way to get rid of travelers like me. Leaves sirihnya stung in the mouth and bitter, making dizziness and never seemed to dry in the mouth - such as Little India area of ​​700 times 500 meters in Singapore.
