Best Indian Sweet Shop in Singapore
Indian sweet shops (mithai shops) in Singapore are concentrated in Little India, Tekka, and along Serangoon Road, with a handful of outliers in Tampines and the East. The variety is enormous: gulab jamun, jalebi, rasgulla, rasmalai, kaju katli, ladoo, barfi, halwa, pedha, gajar ka halwa, soan papdi, kheer, and dozens more — many of them region-specific (Bengali, Punjabi, South Indian, Gujarati). Most shops sell by weight ($25–60 per kg depending on the item) or by the box. They peak around Diwali, when many shops produce limited gift boxes and festive specialties.
