Cant say the same for Indian restaurant, even the Muthu curry which is supposed to served local fish head curry, which is not really from mainland India, is frequented by Ang mohs than Singaporeans.
man you just jump to huge conclusions or form highly generic opinions, just because you see a whole lot of people in Japanese/Korean/western places it doesn't mean that they are all Singaporeans

it could be a mix of locals/expats/tourists.
btw all three places you mentioned are not great, swensons make some disgusting food, Sushi Tei is better that Sakae Sushi and Bali Thai I haven't tried that.
The trouble with Indian food places here is they offer either North Indian or South Indian food. There is much more variety than that in India.
for e.g there is no place offering Goan food, I've seen a few Nepali restaurants, 0 north east Indian cuisine, 2 Kerala restaurants and 1 Gujarati place.
people kind of get tired eating a fish head curry or a butter chicken and curry you know?
plus most of the Indian food in restaurants is generally heavy and you can't eat it everyday. I for most part stay away from Indian food as much as I can, primarily because I'm too busy trying out other cuisines with chopsticks,hands or other paraphernalia.
