These are the two Muslim areas, neighboring each other. The areas are now
known for their huge numbers of shops, restaurant, promenades and a bazaar to
buy cheap items such as T-Shirts. Well, it is shop until you drop!
Besides shopping and….shopping, there are only few things to see; the
Sultan Mosque, Sri Krishnan Hindu temple and Kuan Yin Thong Hood Cho Buddhist
temple.
Bugis can easily be reached by MRT at the stations Bugis and Lavender. From
Bugis one can easily walk into the next interesting area: Little India.
Little India;
The main road of Little India is Serangoon Road, starting from Rochor Canal
Road and continues northward to Serangoon itself. Little India can easily
be reached through MRT (Little India, Farrer Park and Bugis Station).
A must see is the Sri Veeramakaliamman temple, also located at Serangoon
Road. This is Little India’s oldest temple and dates back to 1881!
The area of Little India is most interesting to visit during Thaipussam
or Deepavali, these are the two main Hindu festivals.
Before leaving Little India make sure you eat at one of the traditional
Indian restaurants and try the famous Indian specialty “fish head
curry”.
