Lau Pa Sat

The octagonal structure features cast-iron pillars, ornamental columns, and a central lantern that illuminates the interior dining space through its Victorian roof design.

Originally constructed in 1824 as a waterfront fish market, the current building was completed in 1894 using prefabricated iron components manufactured in Glasgow, Scotland.

The name Lau Pa Sat translates to 'old market' in Hokkien, while Telok Ayer means 'bay water' in Malay, reflecting Singapore's multicultural heritage.

Located near Raffles Place MRT station, this 5,500-square-meter food court contains over 200 stalls serving local and international dishes until 3 AM.

Every evening at 7 PM, Boon Tat Street transforms into an outdoor dining area where vendors grill satay and seafood under the historic clock tower.
