Yugnes Susela: “A lot of people are not aware that even in Tekka market, it is a hawker centre that caters to all races. We have very good Indian food, very good Chinese food. To be honest, one of the best duck rice is there in Tekka centre. There is an aunty selling Western food for 20 years. If you want a really good prata served by a Malay couple, it is there. Tekka is one place where all races and cuisines are there… It is the most beautiful thing!”   Susela, founder of The Elephant Room, shares about his personal history with Little India, plus: *The multicultural side of Tekka Market* *Conceptualization of drinks inspired by Little India* *Forgotten trades in Singapore* *Importance of gold in Indian culture* *Different parts of the plantain* *Waste reduction at the bar* *Championing of local ingredients and cuisines*   -   The Elephant Room: https://www.theelephantroom.sg/ @elephantroomsg Singapore Noodles: http://sgpnoodles.com/ @sgpnoodles Singapore Noodles newsletter: http:s//sgpnoodles.substack.com/
