Indian cuisine gaining popularity over the Lunar New Year
SMRT Buses
It may be the Chinese New Year but it looked like Indian food was quickly gaining popularity as a festive dish, as some people seemed to prefer their food to be hot and spicy during the Lunar New Year period.
Brinda¡¯s Indian fast food joint said their business had increased threefold on the first day of the festivities.
To prepare for the demand, it had ordered more food and activated 10 more staff to work during the next few days.
Some patrons of the restaurant said they chose Indian cuisine as a change after feasting on Chinese food during the reunion dinner, while others chose such Indian delicacy since most Chinese food establishments were closed on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The restaurant also said that many home delivery orders kept them busy late into Saturday night.
When asked why Indian food was creeping into the menu for reunion dinners, Malathi Ramasamy, co-founder of Brindas explained, "There's a lot of fusion reunion dinners. They just don't want to have boring Chinese cuisine all the time. So, they want to have a bit of mixture. In fact, even last year the trend started and this year it has been more."
Business was also good for the hawkers at the Adam Road Food Centre as those who had remained open for the Lunar New Year were expecting a bigger piece of the business since the Chinese food stalls were closed.
