50: Showcasing the beauty of Little India | Yugnes Susela, founder of The Elephant Room

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!”
