The Market in Little India

Little India, located east of the Singapore river, and across from China Town is an experience all in its own. It is a deep ethnic neighborhood, rich in smells, vibrant color and breath taking shops of yards and yards of fabric.

Carefully meandering through the shops and traffic, you will be pleasantly surprised at the selection of shopping you will find; little nooks and crannies in the most surprising places full of treasures.

Going to Little India is always an experience in senses. Close your eyes and you will smell a nearly overwhelming smell of flowers, spices, incenses, and foods - both raw and cooked.

The freshest fruits and veggies in the city are here to select:

Fresh handmade flower necklaces with deep aromas of Jasmine hang from carts waiting a purchase:

And of course the fresh fish market (now there is an aroma to behold!) has a huge selection of picks for supper:

Looking around, I saw an expat and her maid picking out supper for the day:

The poultry looks fresh enough to run away:

The butcher works diligently with his 'modern day' equipment:

The ice truck is making its deliveries:

And of course clothes are sewn daily in the market - especially to fit in as little as 24 hours:

If you have not ventured to Little India, you should do so soon. Without a 'scratch and sniff' page on the blog, there is no describing the experiences you are missing - it is simply a breath taking adventure.

Be sure and take your camera - that is half the fun :-)
