Lau Pa Sat is a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful architecture, lively atmosphere, and wide variety of food stalls. The market is home about 80 food stalls selling a variety of local and international cuisine, including satay, chicken rice, laksa, and chilli crab. Come at night for Singapore’s largest open-air Satay Street, Lau Pa Sat is home to ten satay carts where people can enjoy true alfresco dining under the stars.
Lau Pa Sat, also known as Telok Ayer Market, is located in a Victorian-style cast iron market building located in the heart of Singapore’s Central Area. It was first built in 1824 as a fish market on the waterfront, and has been rebuilt and relocated several times over the years. The current building was constructed in 1894, and was recognized as a national monument in 1973.
