Hi
Happy Diwali.
There is a shop called " AAB sweets" in serangoon road. This is located opposite to the bus stop between Little India Arcade and Mustafa ( further down mariamman temple)
Prices are quite reasonable. Its a branch of Adyar Ananda Bhavan.
Try it out.

As chanmu clearly pointed out sweets are very costly here. Even I am planning to make murukku, ribbon pakoda, gulabjamun, rava laddu easy ones like this in small quantities...
Advance diwali wishes to all. lets post after 2 or 3 days as what all we did and how did it turn...
