Restaurants along Race Course Road
Our Singapore food tour guides often get asked, where is the best place to eat in Little India? Race course road is always a favourite answer. At the near end of the road is the back of the Tekka market. As you walk up the road you will find one side dedicated to Indian restaurants. Banana leaf Apollo is always popular. Also worthy of a mention is the very casual Gayatri. This is more of a buffet restaurant with very helpful staff. One other restaurant on race course road that is worth a mention is Mustard. They are Singapore’s first Punjab and Bengali restaurant. As the name suggests they use a lot of mustard in their dishes. Something a bit different that guarantees great tastes.
Street Wall Arts
This 20m long mural is called A Ride Through Race Course Road, showing a racehorse galloping through a crowded traditional Indian street market. It’s a visual story that tells you how this road got its name – from the nearby Farrer Park area that used to be a horse racing track. This community mural was painted by Jaxton Su with the help of migrant workers and students.
