Wandering across from Arab St I headed to Little India. This is the exact same route I did in 2008 and a bit of a waste to be retracing my steps exactly. 

I made it to the Hindi Temples but they appeared to be closed until 5pm. There were lots of jewellery stores and in one area hand painting henna for tourists. 

 






























 

 
I saw some mithai (indian sweets) which originally I was going to pass over. But then I saw two more vendors and it was too much temptation to pass up. I havent eaten it since Aug 2012 when I was back home. 

 











 




















 
I tried the pista barfi and double ringed jalebi which came to $1.70SGD ($1.35) for a single piece of each. The jalebi was nice but the barfi was too buttery and not how its normally made

 


There was a lot of construction by the river and it threw me on a different course so I was seeing something new from 2008. There was a long outdoor market area stretching a few blocks and something I hadnt seen in 2008.

 


One vendor was selling ice cream sandwiches in wafers for $1SGD (.80 cents). I tried a durian flavoured one. 

I passed by more Hindi, Buddhist, and even Jewish places of worship but they were mostly closed and not open to the public.
