Indian food seems to be the flavour of the month in Singapore, as people celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.

Demand for hot and spicy Indian dishes has zoomed in the past few days and has kept most of the Indian restaurants busy through day and night, according to the online edition of Channel News Asia newspaper.

For Brinda's, a popular Indian restaurant, business has increased threefold since the celebrations started.

"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 the trend started last year and this year it has been more," said Malathi Ramasamy, co-founder of Brinda's.

To meet the demand for Indian dishes, Brinda's has ordered more food and hired additional staff to work during the next few days.
