Lau Pa Sat, also known as Telok Ayer Market, seamlessly integrates a rich historical background, impressive architecture, and delightful local cuisine, providing visitors with an enchanting experience. Established in the 19th century, Lau Pa Sat has stood as a cherished landmark in Singapore, earning recognition as a national monument in 1973. Positioned in the heart of the financial district, the market's distinctive octagonal design and embellished columns were conceptualized by George Coleman, an esteemed Irish architect renowned for his contributions to colonial-era structures like the Old Parliament House.
Following its relocation and reconstruction in 1894, overseen by James MacRitchie, a Scottish Municipal Engineer, Lau Pa Sat retained its core design while receiving upgrades such as a graceful clock tower and robust cast-iron supports. The intricate iron frames, manufactured in Glasgow and assembled locally, add to the market's enduring allure. Despite undergoing various renovations, including the most recent in June 2014, Lau Pa Sat remains true to MacRitchie's original vision, featuring airy arches, ornate eaves, and delicate Victorian columns adorned with intricate filigree work.
Evolved into a lively hawker center, Lau Pa Sat offers a diverse range of local delicacies for both locals and tourists to relish, from chilled beers to flavorful Hainanese chicken rice. Immerse yourself in the refined atmosphere of this historic food court and indulge in Singapore's finest culinary offerings.
Within Lau Pa Sat lies Satay Street, a renowned culinary destination celebrated for its array of satay stalls. The street buzzes with activity in the evenings as vendors grill skewered meats to perfection, serving them with a tangy peanut sauce. This tradition dates back to the early 20th century when hawkers congregated around Lau Pa Sat to offer their satay to eager patrons. Over time, Satay Street has evolved into a dedicated area within the market, showcasing the culinary prowess of satay vendors. Today, it continues to attract visitors with its wide selection of satay options, including chicken, beef, lamb, and seafood, providing a flavorful experience amidst the vibrant ambiance of this iconic Singaporean culinary hub.
