Singapore has a wide mix of cultures and traditions, but the three that influence the life of the city-state the most are Malay, Chinese, and Indian.  You can see the influence here in the cultural practices, in the arts, and indeed, in the foods.  These three culinary traditions are some of the world’s most delightful tastes, and when you’re visiting Singapore, it’s a fantastic idea to check out the Indian restaurants.  There is great variety within Indian cooking, including many regional variations.  A highly trained chef is always an artist, and will have a splendid sense for balancing tradition with invention, adding new twists to classical treasures to make delightful surprises. So whether your tastes might be for Northern India or Southern variation, the results here will be stunning as well as surprising.

An evening out at an authentic Indian restaurant in Singapore just sings of romantic connotations, and the meal can take up the majority of the evening, or you might want to see it as the beginning of a night on the town.  There are a host of things you can do in Singapore after a magnificent meal.  There are a fantastic number of performances you can see in Singapore’s Little India, if you have any inklings to make it a theme evening.  Check with the Singapore Indian Fine Arts Society for concerts and other performances that might be happening while you’re visiting.  You can see splendid events like Dr. Balamuralikrishna and Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarti playing a jugalbhandi concert, where two styles come together to make stunning new combinations.

You also may want to check out the schedule for the Singapore Indian Orchestra who play throughout the year.  There are many other options for hearing live musical events, and there’s a long tradition of Indian dance and theatre as well.  There are many options, and limitless opportunities, to enjoy the confluence of cultures here.  It’s a fascinating way to gain insights into many cultures at once, and to sample new live art works in a pretty magnificent setting.
