Little India - Serangoon Plaza - Mustafa Department

We had a long walk from Tekka Centre to City Square Mall but we passed by this very old building called Serangoon Plaza. I think the plaza been around since I was a teenager. Serangoon Plaza was built side by side with Mustafa Centre, a very well known shopping centre known for its good price and lots of assorted goods. The centre is always very crowded with locals and tourists. I dont really shop there cause sometimes it gets too packed and crowded.

If anywhere there's a crowd you wont see me cause I am a bit anemia and have fainting spells ...sigh.

Masjid Angullia Mosque

Masjid Angullia located in Serangoon Road in the Little India area, attracted a wide range of nationalities. It can accommodate 400 Muslims any one time. Built with funds from a wealthy Angullia family in 1970, it has an Indian-like minaret. Source from Muis.

Skywatch Friday - Little India - Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is located in the middle of Little India in Singapore. The temple has a long history and was built in 1881 and dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Kali. You can read more of its history from the official website.

Noticed the several bells on the doors, devotees entering the temple ring the many bells on its door, hoping to have their requests granted.

Little India - Shophouses

After having my lunch at Tekka Centre, I walked from Little India MRT Station to the next MRT Station i.e. Farrer Park MRT Station. Although the weather is very hot, I get plenty of shades from walking along the shophouses.

You will find all kinds of interesting stuff sold in these shophouses.



These shophouses are dated very long ago and have very interesting stories behind them. As a child, I used to follow my mom to Little India to buy spices to cook curry. During those times, we dont have any kind of blender or grinder, so we would get the shop owner in Little India to grind some curry spices for us. They have very large machines to grind spices for traders and housewives.

Little India - Pawnshops

Spotted different pawnshops in Little India. Some are more recently set up and more modern in designs while there's some that are still the traditional designed pawnshops.

If spotted in a pawnshop during the early days, one might be embarrassed cause it was a sign of being poor but nowadays with the price of gold going up, chances are people are investing in gold and buying and selling gold in pawnshops.

Below photo is a traditional and old pawnshop.
