Chinese settlers now known as Indian-Chinese have been living and working in this neighbourhood having flourishing restaurants, as dentists, carpenters, sauce makers, shoe makers, laundry cleaning stores to name a few. The area is known for this unique Chinese food breakfast market serving fresh steaming baos, suimais, sausages, chinese prawn papads, roast pork,  sweet fried chinese dough and even fish ball soups.
