Today’s post is a continuation of yesterdays as I further our tour around Singapore’s Little India.
Let’s resume our photographic journey.
There are not just food businesses in the district of Little India but a whole array of exotic goods that catch the eye…
…(mind you there is also more food, so if you’ve been reading this blog for more than a single day you know that the possibility of me being able to walk past it all without taking even more photos is about nil…)
Please bear with me… it’s a foodie affliction, and the problem is not that I have this affliction but that I don’t actually wish to be cured.
The smells waft out of shops and eating establishments, some places look so amazing that if I had time I would be tempted to do a blog post per establishment.
So many places, so little time…

Even places I have lived in for a long time have a zillion nooks and crannies that I either haven’t seen or which evolve over time, so how am I ever to manage a complete exploration of a city like Singapore?
Well, I suppose, it’s a matter of discovering small pieces of the puzzle each trip, and slowly, over time, building up a picture of the whole…
Not only are there pungent fragrances here but also amazing splashes of colour…

…if you are thirsty you can just buy a fresh coconut, it’s been pre-prepared so that a few deft cuts with a very large knife will take the top off, add a straw and Voila a fresh drink! Himself loves these…
