Try Jaggi’s, it’s the punjabi restaurant next to mustard. It’s far from fine dining but the food is good and affordable. Probably one of the more authentic punjabi restaurants (all the food is cooked at home by a group of punjabi women and then sold at the restaurant.)
I highly recommend it!

Also, Mustard has amazing desserts! Like their shahi thukda and rasmalai if you plan on returning. Also love their fried fish with mustard sauce appetizer :)

Aww… don’t feel bad. Some of those dishes above are pretty rare, especially the prawn one. Tastes awesome too.

I am quite ashamed of myself. Being an Indian, I have NEVER eaten any of those things you mentioned above except the fennel seeds!

MUST(ard) TRY! BTW, Fennel Seeds after a heavy duty Indian spicy meal is a must…

Hi Veron! Great blog! Well, I have some recommendations on places to eat too :) First is Riverwalk Tandoor at The Riverwalk Galleria. The food, service, ambience is fantastic and you should go for their dinner buffet, which starts at 6pm. Second is The Banana Leaf Apolo at Race Course Road. It has the best masala chicken (my opinion lah ;)). Ask for briyani rice with masala chicken and chicken curry. The briyani rice, vegetables & curry is free flow and the pricing is not bad there. But expect to wait for a table there on weekends. I made a reservation though. Third is Samar Restaurant at Baghdad Street. Its goood :) The pricing is ok lah but for the food, ambience and entertainment (they have girls singing and dancing) on friday, saturday and sunday nites(except ramadhan), I don’t mind paying. Not exorbitant but ok. You really need to check out these 3 gems :) These are my fav eating spots lol Cheers!

py: Thanks for finding us the link! I did further research and found that in 1911, Farrer Park was the only place where a plane could land in Singapore before the Seletar Air Base was built. I wonder how long the runway was at that time. There's certainly no hint today that there ever was one in Little India! r.p: Haha I think once your friends make the first step in trying out North Indian food, they're gonna love it. In any case, you can always go indulge in a meal yourself! One of my philosophies in life: Don't let anyone hold you back when it comes to good food :) Foodaholic: Certainly one of the most unique stuff I've had in Singapore.

My apologies...my memory slipped. It should be that the first plane landing occured at Race Course Rd. Here's the link: http://infopedia.nl.sg/articles/SIP_85_2005-01-22.html Yup, it is a colourful place. :)

Hey I’ve always wanted to check out Gillman Village. There are a few restaurants there, although I didn’t know they have a food court too. Will look out for the Indian stall. Thanks!

A good indian food place is Gillman Village. Its on Alexandra Road, near River Valley High. Its in the food court in the colonial looking building. Cheap and very good! Reminds me of my mom’s cooking :)

X Wings: Thanks :D Truth be told, I get hungry at times too while blogging these food posts. Miss Qian: Ooh if you're new to Indian food, Mustard would be a good start. The flavours here are milder but still delicious, and suitable for "newbies" :) Viswali: Mustard is indeed different. A pity they don't have that many customers, at least not during the time I was there. It was a Friday evening and only one other table had customers! Peko Peko: Oh come on! The whole world knows you guys in Japan have the best stuff!

Oh dude, your photos of Chingri Maacher Malai Curry make me want to jump on an airplane and fly over there for dinner! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! You folks in Singapore have got quite a wonderful variety of yummies. KyotoFoodieã®Peko

That’s very interesting! I googled for “First flight in Singapore” and came up with nothing. It would be great to learn more about this little piece of Singapore’s history.

Back to Little India. I think the reason why there is always something nice to share is that the place is largely unexplored by Singaporeans. It’s so colourful and rich in culture, that there is always something new to discover :)

Yes, I was told that Race Course Rd was named after the first race course. Someone told me that it was there that the first flight in Singapore had taken place.

Looking forward to your next Little India post. You seem to have nice things to share whenever you visit it.
