We know Little India for fabulous discounts at Mustafa Centre, the colourful sari shops, striking temples and Komala’s hearty masala thosai. But there’s so much more to this cultural district than these well-known haunts. Insta-worthy hotels, an elevated indoor playground complete with bouncy nets for the young and young at heart… and of course, food, glorious food.

But before you get started, you’ll need to get accustomed to the floaty, bouncy feeling when walking on the nets. Some describe it as a combination of walking on the moon and walking on water! Your knees may feel wobbly at first, and you may feel like you’re in quicksand, but once you get accustomed to the elasticity of the nets, you’ll be sinking-bouncing away with every step.

What lies behind the simple, modest-looking facade is a hip, whimsical boutique hotel with cool selfie backdrops at every turn. No filters needed! To make sense of the exhibits, the Centre has subscribed to the Smartify mobile app, available on Android and IOS, to allow visitors to discover the stories behind the over 500 artefacts. It’s the first museum in Asia to do so.Opening hours: 10​am to 7pm, Tuesdays to Thursdays; 10am to 8pm, Fridays and Saturdays; 10am to 4pm, Sundays; closed on MondaysLearn to tie a sari When on holiday, we often join walking tours to discover hidden nooks and crannies of a town or city.

Where: Meeting point is at Little India MRT Station, outside Exit E ; tour​ happens every Tuesday from 9.30am to noon​Cosy up for cocktails and comfort food This quaint heritage-style bistro and taproom is lovingly decorated with a mash-up of eclectic​ vintage pieces like antique wooden sofas, well-loved upholstered armchairs, gilt-edged mirrors and splashes of Oriental flair. It’s an ode to its neighbourhood, where East and West, old and new, coexist.
