Lau Pa Saat Singapore

Lau Pa Sat, also known as Telok Ayer Market, was first built in 1824 as a fish market on the waterfront. It was then relocated and rebuilt at the present location in 1894. It is currently a famous gourmet paradise with stalls selling a variety of authentic local and international cuisines. The market’s distinctive octagonal shape and ornamental columns were first conceived by George Coleman, a prominent Irish architect. A graceful clock tower and a new cast-iron supporting structure was added later. The frames were cast in Glasgow before being shipped to and assembled in Singapore.  Lau Pa Sat blends history, striking architecture and scrumptious local food into one heady experience. So sip an ice-cold beer and enjoy a plate of Hainanese chicken rice as you revel in the elegant old-world charm of Singapore’s LOVELIEST food court.
