Singapore's Little India: One Of World's Coolest Neighbourhoods? | On The Red Dot | Full Episode
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- Little India was never intended by Sir Stamford Raffles to be an area designated for Singapore's Indian community. Instead, it developed its identity organically over the years becoming an enclave for the Indians. However, its reputation of rich culture, heritage and food options became tainted with the Little India Riot about a decade ago.
But, that didn’t stop Little India from being ranked #19 on Time Out’s world’s coolest neighbourhoods in 2022! So what helped Little India become the coolest neighbourhood? Join Joakim Gomez as he walks on the wow side of Little India and discover gems that are not even found on google maps!

In south africa we don't have indian town but theres alot of indian food everywhere. Even the grocery stores have spice mixing area, fresh burfi, gulab jamun, chana magaj, jalebi, all different kinds of sev, and crunchy fried dhals that taste better than haldirams prepacked versions. And our delis have so many different types of Indian meals i won't even start cos theres such a wide variety. Theres aisles full of different chutneys, achaars and kuchlas etc. In my area even whites call fresh produce by Indian names like brinjol and dhania. Singapore has a few nandos branches they should try more south african foods I'm sure they will love it, alot south african foods are very favourful and you won't find anything close to it in any other country.
The garland owner should host garland tying classes and I am sure there will be people interested. Just watching a few minutes had me intrigued. This could be a way to spread the art to more people. And also a new stream of income for him.
They "restored" and developed Chinatown, and turned it into neat section of town.
As Chinatown, it is ruined.
The Malay Village project was a disappointment and was demolished.
They then proposed renewing Little India.
Heavens to Murgatroyd, leave Little India alone came the collective outcry from Singaporeans..
when I was in Singapore, it is not commaned to go to Little India, it is described as the most chaotic place in Singapore

Your loss.
St. Andrew's Cathedral was built by labourers from South India.
They were brought to Singapore by the Brits and treated inhumanely.
There's so much pain and suffering endured by these poor workers.
Today the white men is taking credit for the majestic Cathedral.
The lower castes in your country were treated worser than what Britishers did. You people don't even allow the lower castes from entering temple, denied education, deprived them of self respect by imposing untouchability, breast tax. What's worse is that u still practice these acts. Judging by ur name I see that u r from Tamilnadu.
1. Didn't a man of another caste, defecate in the water tank of lower caste? (Happened two weeks ago, not sure)
2. A lower caste school headmaster was stopped from hoisting the national flag on Independence day. When it became news, the District magistrate brought the police force to protect the women to hoist the flag again.
Kids born after 2000 are fine, they don't have the traits of their parents. It's just the ones who r born before 2k are superstitious and spew hatred.
its an evidence that little india and its food is way better than chinatown and kampong glam
Awesome place Little India...Temples, Food, Culture....one stroll around the area is so refreshing
As a tamil guy most of tamil people visit little india ❤
My first ever foreign trip is Singapore
I enjoyed this one. thanks!
As an ethnic Chinese, Little India still preserves quite a bit of its original vibe of the area. Chinatown, however, has been overly sanitised and overly organised to the point it has lost much of the charm that it initially has. It looks just like another town in Singapore. There's beauty in being a little bit chaotic, a little less organised. In fact, Little India looks more like an Indian Town when the migrant workers swarmed the area, thronging the alleys and sitting around on grass patches. It gives an energy and vibe to the area, though it can get so packed in the alleys you regretted walking into it halfway through.
Joakim Gomez has no Portuguese Blood in him, His Mum is Full Korean and his Dad is Full Indian.
Producer talks about a rather important topic about racism and backlash against indians including local ones.
Joakim: Ermm okay.
Let's go eat!
Man JOAKIM is issa good host
Semma deh, your hosting.
I have been here. Really loved it. Spent hours at Mustafa centre.

Amazing Documentary
Amazing Singapore
Better than Chinatown in USA 😂😂
This is about Indiatown in SG jackass.
Why?
Even the devils enjoy 😆
really china town is about versatility ,
u either never went to china town nor have any knowledge .
@@krishnagupta-yv4tm True, yet I do live in Chinatown Kuala Lumpur for what it's worth.
Everyone is human with dame blood. We should respect each other. And also thank the multi culture and food avail.
Imagine only sticking to 1 food type.
I need variety!😂😂
So glad to read your comments. Hope it this way. Anyway, where there is no unity it is a matter of time bad stuff will occur.
Very special with great 💕 😊
is this the last episode with joakim?
Hope the Government does not gentrify the place the way they did with Chinatown. RIP culture.
China Towns are still better. But hey, Singapore is made of Ethnic Han Chinese. Made it the richest in per capit in Asia.

Australia has Indian town
Great!, bcos Australia belonged to the ABROGINIES (KOORIS), not the ANG MOH KOTOR!
@@manithangavalu7885 good to know love from India 🇮🇳☺️
@@manithangavalu7885Australia itself acknowledges it .
@@Shaan-mo8ke
If Australia acknowledges it, how come the Australian indigenous voice referendum was unsuccessful in the constitution.?
@@manithangavalu7885 both are true.
சிங்கப்பூரில் வாழை இலை அப்பலோ உணவகம் எங்கு உள்ளது?
India ❤❤❤
The Little Indian is as a matter of fact, is quite rundown in recent years. The closure of the flea market at Sungei Road in 2017 was one of the main reasons.
I would prefer Indian spicy foods than oily unhealthy Chinese foods.
You hate Chinese people when India is promoted.
You hate Indian people when China is promoted.
Why do you keep spreading hate in this world ?
Chinese have steam foods as well amd they are way way more healthier than any other food available on the world cuisine market.
I love both because they are special in their own way. 😄
you clearly know nothing about chinese cuisine
the rotis are just as oily, did you see the process of making the dosai?
Some things must not change, I pray it doesnt
Little Indonesia please
No candy shops in lil india? 😮
i am singaporean, and little india is definitely not even close to being the coolest, whatever it wants to be. it is a really dirty place, and i do not mean anything about race.. that area is just unhygienic
I like this host he is so upbeat, i just wish he wore something other than black

The riot happened 10 years ago... It felt like five years or so. Man, does time fly.
Europeans in little India, how did that happened?
You've forgotten about the Colonizers, they were like parasites anywhere there's Monetary Gains.
Got Little India and Little Bangladesh. No Little Pakistan?
Every war zone is little Pakistan
Little India is similar to southern India. India is way too big to be represented in a small place
TAMIL
Nobody said that this is supposed to be representative of India. This neighbourhood is representative of Singaporean Indian, most of whom are Tamils. It has nothing to do with the Republic of India.
@@user-jt3dw6vv4x Chill boy. Did you wake up on the wrong side of your bed?
@@sumit6190p Nah, you're the one that needs to chill because you clearly didn't watch the video if you're talking about India on a video about Singapore.
@@Kazim28 It's Little India and it's purely Singaporean-Indian (which is predominantly culturally and ethnically Tamil. These people are Singaporean whose ancestors left what is now called India many centuries ago). It's not supposed to be a mini version of India, so it's not supposed to representing West Indians, North Indians or Northeast Indians (who are all virtually non-existent among the Singaporean-Indian community). Little Bangladesh exists simply because there are a lot of Bangladeshi migrant workers that live and work in Singapore.
Bad debts to be written off
Since when got bad rep?
On the Red Dot???
Panda diplomacy is over,
Yoga is the new trend now. Lol
Where little china?😂
Create
OMG I ate at komla villas in 2014. I had terrible diarrhoea. Don't think I'll ever go there again.
Coolest in the world? Don't they literally have hundreds of millions of these streets in India? It's called Big India
Agreed!
But Singapore's unique bcos it's not in India.
@@manithangavalu7885Chinede made singapore qhat it is today.
Becoz india has so many problems and indians outside always take care about this.
You could try and sound a bit less biased next time !
not happy go stay in palestine
Now that’s what I call successful gentrification and sanitisation.
Just dont go there after 10.30 pm.
Been there lots of times during late night. It’s safe. But can be crowded on Sundays. No need to be racist, can?
Yah vera level.
@@beezlebub9 I think she meant the red light district thing
Why?
when Tharman becomes President, will there be another 10 more little india??
You need more China town or communist town ?
Wow….u are really just dumb aren’t u
No offence, I do think you are a racist! Shame on you Richard Tan
I didn't know we have 10 more chinatown and Geylang now.
Who is Tharman
Do they need hundreds police officers to be around just in case chaos happen?
Why would there be chaos?
Must be smelly lmao
Not as bad as your mother's CB lmao.
Racist sia
Just like your unwashed ass
