Big buzz in Little India
Things in the ethnic enclave, it seems, are starting to change, thanks no doubt, to an influx of hip and chic lifestyle businesses that have started to pop up in the area.
From bars and restaurants to hotels, they are helping to infuse new flavours into an area that was once better known only for its curries, spices and saris.

'We chose Little India because we love the energy there,' explains Barkode's director of operations Diego Cedeno.
'It has an edge of difference and is not commercially developed like other parts of Singapore. We wanted Barkode to be a cocktail bar which is 'found' or 'discovered' so a place like Little India is suitable as we would be different in comparison to our surrounding area.'
Barkode joins a growing number of unlikely lifestyle businesses that over the past two years have slowly helped to breathe new life into the area.
