of jasmine, and newspaper
seller in the roadside are just some of the interesting sights
that can be found
there. Unlikely for other places,

sound of car horns, bicycle bells, and
chat locals which make it very interesting to visit and bring your typical Indian experience different for Singapore.

interest lies in the traditional day-to-day market

the small way surround Campbell Lane Street, Hindon Road,
Dunlop Street, you can find
